Amy here is what I got when I went to PSP Plug-In Help..this is for filters(just an example for plug-in)..Hope this helps..
If the following checklist isn't enough to help you get going then feel free to contact me, Sandy Blair, at [email protected]. Any feedback is welcome!
1. Unzip the files into your plugins folder.
The files on here are in a format called zip, it is a way of packaging up and compressing files so they are quicker to transfer over the internet.
If you don't have a program to restore them back you can get one here. Winzip
Each zip file contains a small text file, and a 8BF file, it is the 8BF file you need to copy into your plugins folder.
If you don't already have a specific folder on your computer for plug-ins you will need to create one. PSP users can call it 'plugins' or anything you like! Photoshop users probably already have one below the Photoshop directory.
2. Check you have msvcrt10.dll.
These Filters use a format originally designed for Adobe Photoshop, PSP can read this format, but it needs an additional file called msvcrt10.dll to be placed in the Windows/System folder.
A zipped copy of msvcrt10.dll
3. Check you are pointing to the plugins folder.
In PSP:
Select File
- Preferences
- General Program Preferences...
- Select the Plug-in Filters tab.
Ensure there is a tick in the 'Enable filters' box and that the 'folders' list points to your plugins folder.
4. Check the image is 16 million colors.
In PSP:
Select Colors
- Increase Color Depth
5. Select the Filter.
In PSP:
Click on Image - Plugin Filters.
You should see a menu of filters, choose the Simple one and then choose one of the filters. It will apply the transformation to your image.
