I have been trying to install the Eye Candy plugin but cannot get XPGD 2013 to recognize the plugin.
I ran the Alien Skin plugin and pointed it to the Plugins subdirectory under the Xara program folder. What the heck am I doing wrong?
I have run the install procedure several times but the Plugin never shows up in XPGD. When the install asked for the folder I pointed to the Plugins folder under the Xara Picture Editor folder under the Xara software folder.
It never shows up when I click on the Live Effects drop down list.
I am running Windows 8 and do not have any other programs like Photoshop.
I tried putting it in its own directory and adding it in options...won't show up in plugin list.I tried putting it in the same directory with Xenofex which works - Eye candy won't show up in plugin listI tried putting Eye Candy in the PSPlugins of the XD Pro 7 directory - still won't show up..My other machine uses Vista and it works on that machine...but not Win7 Home Premium.
I have just discovered that the Plugin Site Galaxy Edges & Frames CD cant be used in Live Effects in Graphic Designer 7.
These are the instructions on their CD for using with Xara, but after create bitmap and export i cant get it to work properly!!
1. Import the photo file you want the frame to be applied to with Import from the File menu. 2. Import one of the frame files from the frame sub folder with Import from the File menu. 3. Select the Bitmap Gallery from the Utilities menu. 4. Right click on the frame file in the Bitmap Gallery and select Apply as transparency from the context menu. 5. Use the handles of the frame object to make it the same size as the photo. Makes sure that the frame lies over the photo. 6. Choose Select All from the Edit menu or press Ctl +A to select both objects. 7. Choose Group from the Arrange menu or press Ctl+ G to combine both objects. 8. Select Create Bitmap Copy from the Arrange menu or press Ctl+ G to combine both objects. 9. In the Create bitmap option dialog make sure that the correct settings are set (e.g. that the color depth is set to 24bit) and press the Create button. 10. Save the created bitmap with Export from the File menu.
I downloaded the sketchup import plug-in and used it to import a sketchup model, but the model ended up being a different size, is there a way to fix this?
I recently installed the SketchUp plugin in the hope that I would be able to easily and effectively transfer SketchUp models into AutoCAD and subsequently into Revit.
However, upon importing the SketchUp model, extra wireframe is added to the flat surfaces from vertex to vertex. This does not affect the CAD model as such as it appears that these lines are necessary for CAD to create the surfaces.
Though when imported into Revit from CAD, these surfaces are unable to be processed and the model becomes incomplete, also failing to identify the windows and doors that had been previously identified as the model had been taken from Revit, through CAD and to SketchUp with no problems and then all the way back again.
What is the next step of importing it back to Revit as I am unsure how to retain its levels (i.e Floor plans).
I work with GIMP 2.8.4 on Windows XP. In order to remove strong lateral chromatic aberrations I tried the CA plugin version 3x What I saw in the preview looked good, but when I pressed the OK button no result appeared. What is the reason? How to install this plugin on Suse Linux step by step.
I have an image that I need to export as a PNG with a transparent background.
In PGD 2013 it works fine - PNG is saved with a transparent background.
However, in PGD 9, it saves with a white (non-transparent) background.
There was a warning dialog about transparency pop up the first time I used PGD 9 to export the PNG, but I can't remember exactly what it said - something about transparency not supported for this type of file I think. I chose to ignore always and I can't find anywhere I can re-enable that option to see if it fixes things.
I have an EPS file (attached) which is giving an error when importing into Xara Photo & Graphics Designer 2013.
Other EPS files from the same source have no problem.
Any program they can try opening it in and see if they can save it in a format that Xara will accept (assuming there isn't a more fundamental problem with the file) ?
I've just converted an A3 double sided file containing 100% text in 22 varying languages. The Xara a/w looks perfect but when I view the .PDF convertion it has added squares with a cross inside to several of the foriegn languages where there should be spaces. I've tried varying the .pdf convertor set-ups but to no avail.
One of P&GD2013's new features was supposed to be preservation of EXIF data when editing JPGs. I'm having trouble discovering when this happens.
For instance, when I open a photo, use MagicErase to remove a lamppost, flatten the group and then export/save it back to the original, all my efforts so far have resulted in the loss of the original EXIF data.
Is there a way to preserve EXIF data after editing (in any way) the original photo?
As I'm trying to learn more of my new programs, I finally came across a tutorial that covered the Live Effects. However, after I've open and created an object (star)(that's another story), I go to the Live Effects button (per the tutorial) but nothing opens. Left click, right click, nothing brings anything up.
Also, in the tutorial it started by drawing the star object...click the icon draw a star, and I get a 6-sided filled object. No star to be found. The oval and rectangular objects draw fine. But no star obect.
I'm at the point where I don't know what should or shouldn't be somewhere or if something is or isn't working. I understand that the Live Effects can be pointed to an external folder where 3rd-party plugins should go, but I was also getting the feeling that something came with the program install (per the tutorial). I've gotten used to things not working in these Xara and Magix programs I purchased, so unlike my first couple of posts, the anger and frustration are being left out.
Is there a simple way to make a cone shape in Xara Photo and Graphics designer 2013? I need to make a cone that can be extruded and shaped sort of like this?
I'm using P&G 2013 to generate SVG floorplans for some data visualization on one of our servers, and I've used the product in the past with no issues at all.
However, I have a file that I cannot export to SVG. I have narrowed down the issue to one layer, which is composed entirely of about 1600 simple rectangles with dashed lines. I have also tried using a standard solid line for the shapes, with no luck.
When the export process starts, the program becomes unresponsive, and the status dialog shows it very slowly prepairing to export. When it switches to exporting the document, the counter never moves past 0%.
After an hour or two of not showing any progress, windows auto forces the program to close. Before the program is killed, task manager shows P&G using 100% of one core, and the memory usage increases up until the auto kill.
To try to determine if it was some layer properties causing the issue, I moved a small subset (maybe 15 - 20%) of the rectangles to a new .xar file and tried to export, with the same behavior.
some photoshop plugin can process a single image from multiple little image. A kind of mosaic. I'd really like to know the name of this plugin since making this kind of composition can ben very long.

i am looking for a plugin like FI Bezier for 3dsmax, Basically its a plugin which lets you pre-define the path and lets you move the object throught the path using a helper, unlike animating the percent along path in 3dsmax Pathdeform
I have downloaded and extracted dpy's pack in order to use the perspective tool to correct converging verticals. When I click on Effects > Distort there is a 20+ list but none for perspective. I am a Newbie and have successfully downloaded and used Madjic's pack to create a grid. What have I done or not done?
I'm looking for plugins for Photoshop CC, I have a full license and need a plugin for jpg / png saves, Super PNG is installed in my plugins folder but it still doesn't give me the option to save. I'm just trying to type a font and save it .
A search indicates that Camera Raw 6.3 plugin and later will work, but it is apparently for CS5 only. Is it true that CS4 loses the ability to work with camera raw files of newer cameras? If not, where can I get a camera raw plugin for my new S95 that works with CS4? (The camera does ship with proprietary raw processing software, but I'd prefer the integration of Bridge and Photoshop.)
Is there a TWAIN plug-in for Photoshop CC? (I saw the June 2013 query; any updates since then?) This is for a Windows 7, 64 bit installation, using an Epson Perfection 2400 scanner. If not, any work around beside buying Vuescan?
I used Paint Shop Pro for years and they had a great Kaleidoscope generator effect built in to the program.Switched to Pshop a couple years ago, and have been sorely missing the Kaleidoscope thing. I've searched high and low on the 'net and there seems to be nothing out there. Some freebies made for PC but nada for Mac.
Is it really a difficult programming feature to cook up one of these things? people are doing amazing stuff with fractal generators and computers, isn't about time someone coded a simple kaleidoscope plugin for Pshop on Macs?
I want to use PS CC exclusively for astro photography, for that , the file format use is FITS 16 or 32 or IEET , before with CS3 we used fits liberator and after downloading , it was easy to use it , in plugin/ file format. But now I have a lot of difficulties to open this file.
