System Requirements

PC : Windows 95/98/ME/2000/XP/Vista, plus any host graphics application that supports the Photoshop *.8bf format plug-in standard.

Mac : Sorry, there is no MacOS X compatible version available at the moment.

You will also need a graphics program that supports the use of "layers" for this plug-in.

Please note that not all graphics programs are 100% compatible with plug-ins. Consult your program's documentation for more information regarding the installation and use of 3rd-party filters, thank you.

Installation

Download the zip file, uncompress all the files to your chosen "Plugins" folder, configure your host to look in that folder (if necessary), then restart your graphics app and the new effects should appear somewhere in the filter menu. This is the basic procedure for installing plug-ins. However, some hosts have slight variations so for more details please read the documentation that came with your graphics program.
