Need help with converting Fireworks MX plugins!
Posted: Mon Nov 23, 2009 7:59 pm
Hi all, thanks in advance for any help.
I've been a longtime windows user of Adobe/Macromedia Fireworks, and have always used the MX version until recently. I just upgraded to a new Macbook and was sad to see that the AlienSkin EyeCandy and Splat! Edges plugins weren't included anymore. I've become really attached to them.
I finally came across the paragraph on this web site (which I'll include below) that talks about how to convert these plugins. I dragged the 8bf files over from my Windows machine and put them into my Photoshop plugins folder, and tried to get Fireworks to load them up, but it doesn't seem to be working.
Am I doing something wrong, or is it not possible to take a Windows 8bf filter and bring it over to Mac?
Here's the paragraph and page I'm referencing... Thank you so much!
The Macromedia Fireworks MX and MX 2004 trial versions contains full versions of the BevelBoss and MotionTrial plugins of Alienskin EyeCandy 4000 and the Edges plugin of Alienskin Splat!. If you are lucky you may find the Fireworks MX or MX 2004 MX trial an old magazine cover CD, but you can also download it here: http://www.soft32.com/download_351.html. After you installed it switch to the Fireworks folder and open the Plug-ins sub folder. Now copy the Splat 8bf and dll files, the EyeCandy 8bf file and the two sub folders to your default plugin folder. Open the image application you usually use to apply plugins and there they are!
