Pspi and 8bf ? - Bastien - 10-24-2017 Hi, I am new to this forum and have been using Gimp since it started on Windows. I guess my question has already been asked several times. I want to use some 8bf Photoshop plugins. the pspi file that allows this use is no longer working since version 2.8 of Gimp. Do you know of any other solution? --------------------------- Windows 10 x64 / Gimp 2.8 I3 / 8gb RE: Pspi and 8bf ? - rich2005 - 10-24-2017 welcome to gimp-forum.net It should work to certain extent. This is a Win 10 VM and Gimp 2.8.22. Just pulled the pspi from http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=14444 and the only .8bf I had hanging around. (Normally I use linux) There is only a certain class of .8bf that work anyway, and those made for a different era of smaller images. There are other ways to get PS plugins to work, typically the shellout.py plugin that runs the plugin in XnView. I think the Partha version of Gimp http://www.partha.com incorporates bespoke versions of shellout.py allowing more advanced PS .8bf such as (some of) the NIC collection to work. A good place to ask questions on the subject is http://gimpchat.com Alternatively, many of the effects you get from these old PS plugins are replicated in the Gimp g'mic plugin http://www.gmic.eu
