Thanks dylan. I don't think they show under filters but I'll check when I get home. must admit that's where I thought they would be.

My plugins are under the filter heading in CS2 maybe cs3 is different - I tried ! Sorry.

Try under "edit" then "preferences" there is a plug in directory there, you have to tick the box and "choose" this brings up a list of plugins.
Worth a try!

Hi, I have the plugins on a folder on external hard drive. I have ticked this folder in preferences/plugins. I have also copied them to the plugins folder in CS3 itself. When I click on help/plugins they are all there but I can't find a way to use them. grrrrrr

BTW under the "filters" tab I only get the standard photoshop filters.

No you just need a dummy to translate it to you Ken

silly question - you have restarted CS3 haven't you ? they should be in the filters under the photoshop filters, as you can see them in "help" " about plugins" they are there. I cannot use mine plugins from "help" it just tells me "about" versions etc.

Yep restarted several times as I put them in some time ago and just decided to have a play. As you say can't use them from help but not showing in filters ho hum.

Maybe been given a bum steer.

Thanks for the input though it is appreciated.

Only other options are import or export menu or "other" under the filter menu.
Searched under help and all my photoshop books - hope you find them all!

Ken n Steph, Plugins usually operate "seamlessly" once you have put them into the correct folder - have you made sure they are in the Plugin folder in CS3? Thats how CS2 and earlier versions work, I'm sure CS3 will be the same. If they are def in the plugin folder you should be able to select them under filters.

Hi Laurie, yes they are in the right folder, suspect I've been given "Mac" versions .
