mostly, i use FF as a stand-alone. but, lately i've used it from within paint shop pro. this is great and i love it, but we're somewhat back to the immense filter library problem again. you open FF from psp (or ps) and you get FF, but not necessarily the filter you want. so, off you go searching. if you're smart and lucky, you've got the filter you want in your favorites list already or in 'my filters'. but if not, it can take quite a while to find what you want.
one possible help here is, when you use FF within another editor, when you hit 'effects\filter forge and click on filter forge, if there were another sub-menu that opened with a list of commonly used filters, this could help speed things up. in other words, you click on 'filter forge' and a sub menu to that would open up in psp (or ps) that listed filters you've already used or that you commonly use.
i dont know if that's possible to do, being that this might be more the domain of psp rather than FF, but it would be slick.
If wishes were horses... there'd be a whole lot of horse crap to clean up!
