help with Magic Bullet?

[MrsStewart]

Hello!
I've just finally upgraded to X3 and I couldn't be happier, but I downloaded the free Magic Bullet Photolooks, activated with my serial number, added to the PSP plug-in folder.... but it doesn't show up under Effects/plug-ins. For the life of me this is the only plug-in I can't get to work! What am I missing? If anyone has successfully installed it I would love your assistance!

Thanks in advance,
Meg

I recently added the Ultimate package to X3 and Magic Bullet was part of it. Along with the exe for Magic Bullet, there was also a download link for the Magic Bullet PhotoLooks Compatibility Patch for PaintShop Photo Pro X3 users. Did you receive and apply the patch? I'm not sure if this will help, but I thought I'd mention it.

Thanks Kathy! I'm beginning to think that's exactly my issue!

Hello MrsStewart,

If you have installed the Magic Bullet Photolooks plugin but still cannot see it under EFFECTS > PLUGINS, then you can follow these steps.

First enable plug-ins
1. Choose File > Preferences > File Locations.
The File Locations dialog box appears.

2. From the File types list, select Plug-ins.
3. Mark the Enable plug-ins check box.

Then add plug-in locations
1. Choose File > Preferences > File Locations.
The File Locations dialog box appears.

2. From the File types list, select Plug-ins.
3. Click Add.
A new blank item appears in the folder list, and the Browse for Folder dialog box appears.

4. Navigate to the folder you want to add, and click OK to return to the File Locations dialog box.
5. In the Folder options dialog box, mark the Enable check box.
6. Click OK.

Hope that helps.
