Plug-In Filters for PSP and Photoshop

- the image above was creating using the Almathera Plug-In

PSP 7 and 8 come with a nice batch of built-in filters, but i find them quite limiting in
effect. Plug-in filters are available that will have you experimenting for hours on your images.
You can even come up with effects accidentally that you'll use frequently on your graphics.
Learn the filter capabilities within PSP first - then go out and try some new stuff.

These links will take you to the download site for more information. There will
also be filters listed at these sites that require a fee, or are available for download
as a demo for a specified time, before you're required to purchase it to keep it.

Most plug-ins and filters are designed for Photoshop,
and most are compatible with Paint Shop Pro7 and 8

Please be aware that plug in sites either change the pages their info is on or disappear from
the web completely - we have no resources to continually check the validity of the site links,
so it's best that if you find a broken link, you type in a search on the web for the filter's name

What you need to know:

You must be running Windows 95 and
at least PSP 4.0 for the filters to work

Filters compatible with PaintShop Pro need to be in .8BF file format. Several sites offer
filters in a different file format. If you really want to use these filters, you will need the Plug-in Commander to convert these filters for use in PSP. Click here for information on this tool. Before you install plug-in filters, you will need to download and extract the MSVCRT10.DLL to your Windows System file. Some filters will also the file PLUGIN.DLLfile - you can download these
below. Then you should have no problem using all filters available for use in PSP.

MSVCRT10.DLL dll-plugin file - click here to download

Also download this .dll file

Once downloaded, unzip
into the C:\Windows\System directory

Then download all filters you find and think you would like to play with in your PSP
Plug-Ins folder. Click on the links below for details on the effects you can achieve with
each filter. Word of caution - they're so cool you might download way more filters than
you'll ever use. Out of the hundreds of filters i have, I probably use about a dozen
regularly. And don't buy any offered for sale until you've checked all the links out -
sometimes you'll get a similar effect in a free download of another plug-in product

These are some i use and like, some i hope i find the time to use eventually. If some
of the links don't work, they are no longer available or changed their website address
