the Ulead particle plugin

[thewhoosh]

Hi all I just loaded the free Particle plugin into Photoshop CS3
the app created its own directory in program files with several files in and also put the .8bf file in the plugins folder in Photoshop

when I try to apply the effect it comes up with the error message

Unable to load Particle.dll, any clues to what I have done wrong, I am using Windows Vista

Also is the app only available for Windows as I have a Mac comp too

Regards

Welcome to the forums,

Those freebie plug-ins are very, very old. I think they are intended to be used with Ulead programs only. Next since they were developed waaaay back during the Win98 era, but are also compatible with WinXP, I seriously doubt they will work on any Vista machine--correctly.

While Adobe is the standard for plug-ins, and several programs are written to accept PS Plug-ins, it's just not reciprocal.

Thanks for the reply Ron,
I will try again with XP

Greetings:

I have Ulead Particle plugin, and I have the same problem. Only my problem is there are noooo presets in the folder, all three of them. Do you know how to get the presets for this plugin?

Thank you,
