SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS (PC)

Windows 7, 8, 10 or 11
Photoshop-compatible host application (32-bit versions only)

* Please note that not all graphics programs are 100% compatible with plug-in filters. Some will display the controls a bit differently or certain features may not work properly. Consult your program's documentation for more information regarding the use of 3rd-party plug-ins.

This filter was programmed specifically for Adobe Photoshop but it should work fine with many other hosts too. If you encounter any compatibility problems then please report the details and I will do my very best to fix any errors that occur, if possible.

2. Make sure you select your Photoshop (or other host) "Plug-Ins" folder.

3. Start your graphics program and configure it to look in that folder for extra plug-ins.
   (not all software will require this step, please refer to the instructions given with your host)
