Preserved Topic: how do you install plug-ins?

One more little problem.How do you install plug-ins?

well.. normally the first thing you do before installing plugins is to read the documentation that came with your plug-in.. I think it is usually in the section of the manual that ships with the product called "installing your plug-in"

However, if you downloaded the plugin, then you would normally read the instructions from the same website from whence you downloaded the plugin. This would be the normal way of installling a plugin.. well from my experience.

If you obtained your plugin from a less then reputable source persay, then one would presume that you havent got a a manual, instruction leaflet or instructions from a website .. which would lead one to believe that............... and hence you might not get any 'helpful' advice here I suggest reading the docs that shipped with your software heh

Hey VP, why don't you push that mop back from "whence" it came...

lol krets!

All my plug ins came with a CD (which was a copy)

Anyways... there should be directory in your I think c:\adobe\photoshop\plug-ins. Just install them in that directory

I didn't even knew that I had like 50 plug ins untill I browsed thru the CD today!!!! whoooohhoooO!!!!

nice one ducati.. admitting your guilt.. ! sheesh.. I heard of dumb but.. LOL.

you are the weakest link.. goodbye! ~Vp~

Well I do have the manual,but when I installed one of the filters. It show up in the filters scroll bar.I thought maybe I did something wrong or maybe there was another way of doing it.I also know some individuals frown on shared programs,and to ducati & vag thanx for the help.

Yeah, thanks vag.

I'm sure that pee-pee really appreciates it.

You really helped old poe-poe out.

Yep.... good ole Vag.... hookin' peeps up....

Hey, they've got displacement maps in here (the plugins directory). Man, I've had PS since 3.0 (running on a Win 3.11 machine ) and I've never even known what was in that folder. Heh, just goes to show.

Why would I say that I bought software if I never did?? 99.9% people in here has some kind of software installed on their computers that was copied... common.. let's be honest here. Do I really want to spend 600 bucks for software???? HELL NO!!!! I would shoot myself before I do that. And to be more honest... every single thing installed on my computer is a copy. It just happend that people came up with CD burners, blank CDs and oh looke here... it happened that my friend has a PS6.0!!! Oh boy.. I wonder what I am going to do... hhmmm blow 600 hard earned cash or 1.50 for a blank cd and make a copy....

Only hope you can live long enough to create something great, so someone can steal it from you.

Hindsight can be so enlightening.



If they had just killed Gilligan, they`d have been off the island in a week.

well go find a nice warez forum to talk about it in. Not to get pissy here but it's agin the rules to be spoutin stuff like that here Ducati. The Doc doesn't ask much but that's one thing. I'm sure you didn't mean to dis your host though, just didn't know eh? Now you do and as GI Joe used to say - knowing is half the battle

Is it just me or has there been about 10 ' I know nothing about PS question, this could be easialy answered in a tute one click away ' to every 1 ' trying to nail this, suggestions would be nice kind of question ' as of late????

OK ducati, let's get a couple of things straight: stealing is wrong. Plain and simple. If you are going to be doing web design, and your work is being bought by customers, then just try it with stolen software. I don't know if you have been following a thread here in which a background graphic seems to have been 'stolen' from Doc O. Good, you're honest about it. Take it somewhere else. Software companies depend on their products to be bought. And that goes for Adobe, as well. Were every web-designer that uses Adobe products to 'steal' them, then it goes to reason that Adobe wouldn't exist much longer. And that, you see, would be a tragedy. For me, for others. So take some good advice, and stop stealing, you thief.
Silence: I think over at GN steve pointed that out in the tut on the Displace filter. Pretty good tut, I might add.

I didn't steal it .. I just borrowed it for a extended period of time

I don't like warez. I never even been in any forums with warez nor I download any programs from the internet. It just happened that my friend had a copy of PS and let me copy it.. oh well... this is like a topic that it can go on and on and on. Basicly if you use Napster then you are a thief .. right??? That's what it sounds like.

I am not mad...hey people do what the do right? Just trying to be honest with you people. And I know Doc doesn't like to talk about this so let's drop it. You paid I didn't. End of the story.

Well I guess everyone in the asylum is an honest joe and has paid for everything that they have.I am a newbee at this. I don't do graphic design professiolly ,this is a hobby.If everyone here learned everything they know on their own, then why is this site here. If did copy a program,and you think I stole it , go and tell my mommy and she will spank me. hehe.To those that don't want to help,remember do on to others as you want them to do on to you.

Yeah, sorry 'bout that Papo. Should of concentrated more on your question. Think it got solved a coupla lines above. It did get solved, didn't it? What were we talkin' about? *wanders aimlessly through the halls, wondering where to get some black pills*

I got it , but I don't have any pills.
