Hi all
Just for fun I decided to see if I could get the filters from PS CS2 to work with PhotoPaint X3.After setting the filter path in Options, the filters appeared in the Effects menu in PP. Good.As expected though, it wasn't that simple. When trying an effect, all I get is the transparencygrid in the preview and if I apply an effect it just makes the image/object all black.I think I've read somewhere about using these filters, but can't find anything right now.
Thanks Foster.
I was sure I had read about it on your site before, but couldn't find it.A search for "plug-in" was much more rewarding than "filter" was. ;-)
Anyway, it seems like the CS2 filters won't work and if I got it right, many others won't either.I see you have a bunch for sale on your site, that will work with PP too, at least most of them.
So, if the plug-in developers don't care about other software than PS, wouldn't it be possiblefor Corel to adapt PP to the new "standard" instead?

Thanks for the information Ilya.
Are there any big advantages developing for the new Adobe standard, or how come the old"universal" standard is not used for all filters (except Adobe's own of course)?
This is (or at least has not been up till now) no big deal for me, I'm mainly curious. :-)
Hi Ilya,reverse engineering is not illegal if it is done the proper way, it is however extremely expensive since the proper steps involve not only to redesign the application from scratch, it also has to be legally documented and the lawyers costs for it are astronomical.
