How Do I Install Photoshop Plug-in in Photo & Graphic 7?

[steve.ledger]

Keith, can you close Xara, restart your PC then start Xara as adminstrator (right-click the desktop icon and choose 'run as administrator')
Now try adding your plugin folder as described.

Keith Xara is a 32-bit application and you are trying to use a 64-bit plug-in. Please extract the x86 version of the plug-in to your downloaded plug-ins folder.

Yes, that will definitely be it Bill. I can see now after viewing the full size screenshot he has the 64bit version in the folder.
Easy mistake to make Keith

Trying to use Luce on a bitmap in P&GD7 fails miserably here. Usually nothing appears in the Luce UI and generates a fine error when it does
As I say, works fine via PS and returned to Xara.

Thanks for the help. I am getting the same exact message as you show in this post's picture. But at least the plugin shows in the menu, so know I know how to do it.


Do you guys know of any decent plugins that do work in P&GD7? I do not have a new PhotoShop.

Also, thanks for all the help. You guys have been a blessing. Like I said, I am a newbie at this, and computers for that matter, so your patience is very much appreciated.

Sincerely,
KeithH

What exactly are you looking for in the way of plugins? Are you more interested in effects or in processing photos?

I guess both. I am completely new to all this, so I do not really know what I would need. I would like to have some of the more useful plugins already on my P&GD7 so that they are ready when I would need them. I do like the effects like the water ripples that comes with my program. So I like things like that. I would like to find a free plugin for turning photos or graphics into puzzles, and other cool effects like that. So maybe I am more into the effects end of it.

Thanks for the help. I am really happy that it is working now.

Take a look at the free photoshop plugins on this site. See which ones you like and then try them out. Many of them work and quite a few don't.

well now that is interesting steve..

over in another thread we had an instance of your system and my system not behaving the same - maybe it is down to the windows version and or setup? - I am using windows 7 home premium as administrator UAC enabled, I would imagine that you are using ultimate or professional..
