My mom just got herself PS elements because of the bad allocation error. I´m trying to help her install it, but throwing it into the Plugins folder apparently didn´t work. So where should it go?

I don't know if PS Elements is officialy supported as a host for FF.
I can't remember if it's PS Elements or lightroom that can't use 8bf plugins, and I don't have either one, so I can't test it myself.

GMM should have an answer for you on monday, I suppose...

Hmm hopefully lol.

As far as I know it can use .8bf. It´s just the wrong folder I guess.
Worst case she will have to wait until I visit her.

You said it is for windows

Sorry that I do not have PS elements but have news for you.

Have yout tried to install again Filter Forge and see if it recognizes and finds Photoshop Elements?

Filter Forge 3.007 – New Host Applications, Bugs Fixed
Alexandria, VA, USA (February 15, 2012) – Filter Forge, Inc. today released the update 3.007 to Filter Forge, a Photoshop plugin that allows users to create their own filters. The current update introduces several bug fixes as well as support for Adobe Photoshop CS 5.1 under Mac OS and Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 under Windows.


There are also other possible hosts that can be used in Windows

Please for more information about other supported software hosts visit this thread

For others that may have MAC

FF Inc¨
Under Windows, PS Elements 2.0 to 10 are supported (unfortunately no support for Elements under Mac).


Really, MAC only support full version of Photoshop and no other software.

Sharandra, what PSE version is used?
If it is a supported host you just need to reinstall Filter Forge, and it should appear in the filter list.
