So much for the 'experts' fivetoze, and I think you'll find that Adobe own Corel too not the other way round!.

As a side note you'll find that the new CS4 will allow you to use the tools from any image manipulation program you have on your computer and place a shortcut into a tools palette!. That includes any actions even Paint Sticks from PSP!. I've been Beta testing it for the last few weeks!. Actually Photoshop was designed from day one as an 'open ended' program that could use any tool, but up to now its been a bit 'clunky', CS4 changes that out of sight!.

It's not likely that plug-ins from Photoshop (currently owned by Corel) are going to seamlessly merge with PSP (currently owned by JASC)!. I'm sure some may work but I'm sure that, as proprietary licensing and technology allows, that will become a thing of the past!.

If something worked in a former state of being, that does not assure that it will in today's world!.

I was able to use some of PSP's 4!.12 plug ins with my Photoshop 4!.0 but now!? I would doubt that it would recognize the extension or some of the drivers!.

Paintshop Pro is a whole different program!. Attempting to use a plug-in written by a different company would be like attempting to use the pistons from a Corvette in your Mazda rotary engine !.!.!. it ain't going to happen !.!.

You will either have to buy a new version of Photoshop or find a publisher of plug-ins written for PSP!. SorryWww@QuestionHome@Com
