Filter Factory Gallery 'V'

This zip file is comprised of 4 files.

ffvgalpc.ffl - This file contains the code to all the filters.  You will need the Plugin Commander to recompile this FFL file into usable Photoshop, Premier or other type filters.  If you don't have the Plugin Commander, visit my page at www.netins.net/showcase/wolf359/adobepc.htm and follow the links to the Plugin Commander website.

INSTALLATION

The instructions for using the Plugin Commander are included with the Plugin Commander when downloaded.  If downloading for the first time, be sure to also get the file of DLL files needed to run Plugin Commander.  Links to the Plugin Commander website can be found at www.netins.net/showcase/wolf359/adobepc.htm .

Recompile, copy or move the *.8bf files to the directory you keep your Photoshop plug-ins at. Normally, it's c:/photoshp/plugins.  The next time you start Photoshop, it will automatically add a submenu to the Filters menu called Filter Factory Gallery A, which will have these 20 filters in it (the 'A' will change with each release of each Gallery).  For more tips on managing plugins, see my page at www.netins.net/showcase/wolf359/plugtips.htm .

You should retain this Readffv.txt for future reference The 'ffn' in the filename denotes which Gallery this Readme file belongs to. If you ever want to not load the filter(s), copy them to another directory.  The filter file naming, ffb01gal.8bf,  denotes 'ff' as filter factory, the third letter is from the Gallery it's from, the number is the filter number in that Gallery from 1-20, and the next three letters indicate it's a Gallery filter.

ABOUT THE FILTERS

These filters have been custom made by individuals who use Filter Factory in making custom Plug-Ins for Photoshop.  Filter Factory can be found on the CD-ROM edition of Photoshop under the Goodies directory. The plug-ins have adjustable parameters when launched, and can be used like any other plug-in filter.  The filters in this Gallery have been compiled to be used with the PC version of Photoshop 3.0 or greater.  The code to compile the filters is taken from the various postings to the Filter Factory Discussion Group mailing list.  The choice of filters I compile and make available is solely my discretion, with no rhyme or reason, so I can't take requests for specific filters.

COPYRIGHT NOTICE

Each of the filters are copyright of their respective author.  You do not have permission to sell, repackage, distribute commercially or as freeware, or to use these filters in a commercial way.  However, you can use them freely for your own personal use.  If you wish to use them in a manner not covered here or not for personal use, please contact the respective filter authors for permissions.

DISCLAIMER

No warranties are expressed or implied.  I myself cannot answer any questions about the filters since I did not design them.  If you need more information about them, follow the appropriate links at my web site at:  http://www.netins.net/showcase/wolf359/adobepc.htm concerning Filter Factory and Plug-Ins links.

PAINT SHOP PRO USERS

Please read the page at www.netins.net/showcase/wolf359/plugins.htm concerning how to get them to work with Paint Shop Pro to see if anything applies to you.

OTHER APPLICATIONS

It's guesswork if they will work or not in other applications.  You can always try, and if they don't, the best thing to do is contact your software maker to see what there is to do in getting them to work.
