plugins and filters

sundae19 · Post by **sundae19** » Sun Mar 16, 2003 4:49 pm

Is there a way that I can put all my filters and plugins in a file on my hard drive and point PhotoShop 6 to it? I guess what I am really asking is...will that work?

thanks in advance,
Sundae

I guess you mean "put all my filters and plugins in one folder".

Please see the Organizing your plugins (on the hard drive) section at

yes. I install all my plugins to

\program files\_plugins

and install each (set) into it's own subdirectory. I then create shortcuts to those plugins I wish to use in my host application's plugin directory. Photoshop (elements) supports this. I can't speak for other applications.

I sort plugins into top level subdirectories like

color, photo, fun, textures, etc

that way I can load the ones I want for a specific image hacking session.

Although I sometimes just load them all. I like have 1 gig of ram. Always MAX out your motherboard with ram.

"speed costs money. how fast can you afford to go?"

a perfect quote for this occasion.

Why would you cripple yourself with insufficient ram??
