I've never used Photoshop plug-ins, so here's my nooby question:
How do you use them?
Say I've installed one, will it be added to a menu or what?
Pretty simple to install. Some have self installers which are self-explanatory. For the others installing them is no more than finding where your Photoshop files are. For example,
C:-Program files-Abobe-Photoshop 7
Once in the main photoshop folder, you will see another folder named plug-ins. From the files you unzipped (the actual plug-ins), just put them in this folder. If Photoshop is open, close and restart it. The plug-ins should now be in your filters list.
Using them is really no different then using the standard filters and effects. Just play with them to see what they all do!
My specs... A hard drive, motherboard, graphics card, some memory, a keyboard, mouse, and monitor - in other words, nothing special.
