| Simple Filters - Introduction | |
| These filters have no adjustable settings, I did that to make then quicker and easier to use, even though they aren't as flexible as other filters. Each filter is shown with an image which uses a 'mouseover', move the mouse over the image to see what it does, click the image to download a zip file with just that filter in it or click the link in the 'Download' section to get all 10 filters here. See the help section if you need more information on downloading and installing filters. For more information and links to pages by people I like, have a look at the credits section. | |

The complete set of 10 filters and why not grab a few extra while you are at it? These are the Horizontal Half Wrap and the Vertical Half Wrap filters which are great for checking a tile matches in one direction (for example a 'side border' background). Also included is a quick way to make quarter corners - why would you want to do that? Read this site to see! |

If the following checklist isn't enough to help you get going then feel free to contact me, Sandy Blair, at cateran@btinternet.com. Any feedback is welcome!
1. Unzip the files into your plugins folder. The files on here are in a format called zip, it is a way of packaging up and compressing files so they are quicker to transfer over the internet. Each zip file contains a small text file, and a 8BF file, it is the 8BF file you need to copy into your plugins folder. If you don't already have a specific folder on your computer for plug-ins you will need to create one. PSP users can call it 'plugins' or anything you like! Photoshop users probably already have one below the Photoshop directory. 2. Check you have msvcrt10.dll. These Filters use a format originally designed for Adobe Photoshop, PSP can read this format, but it needs an additional file called msvcrt10.dll to be placed in the windows/system folder (or windows/system32 in more recent windows). A zipped copy of msvcrt10.dll 3. Check you are pointing to the plugins folder. In PSP:
Select File Ensure there is a tick in the 'Enable filters' box and that the 'folders' list points to your plugins folder. 4. Check the image is 16 million colors.
In PSP: 5. Select the Filter.
