A couple of filters I use a lot are transparency: eliminate white and eliminate black. I had to install a new hard drive, so I just went through the joy of reinstalling everything. My filters were stored to my backup drive and are all in good order. The filters work in Photoshop and yet no matter how I point to the filters and even have installed them in the Xara Xtreme directory, they no longer work. I just can't figure what has happened.

Early in the week I did an experiment with these filters, using them on a fish illustration. I can open the illustration and when I click on plugins, the filters say that they are missing.
