FM Download Components

Downloading Individual FM Components

The simplest way to download FilterMeister is to download the entire installation package from the FM Public Beta Page.

However, you may wish to download individual FM components for the following reasons:

You have a slow link, and want to download only the minimum necessary components of FM.
You are having trouble downloading the complete installation package. You may have better luck downloading FM as a series of smaller files.
You have previously downloaded FM, and want to download only those components of FM that have changed since your last download.

FM Components

To install FM as a series of individual components, download the desired zip files from the following table.

The only zip file you really need is the first one, which contains the FilterMeister 0.4.18 plug-in, the 0.4.18 release notes, and the readme.txt file. The rest of the zip files contain sample filters and the FM manuals in pdf format.

2. FM sample filters	FM0418sa.zip (399,256 bytes)

After downloading the desired files, unzip them with WinZip, or some other unzip utility, into the appropriate FilterMeister plug-in directory for your host application (e.g., unzip into C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop 5.5\Plug-Ins\FilterMeister if you are using Photoshop 5.5). The following table gives a list of typical installation directories for various graphics host applications.

Be sure to select the "Use folder names" option (or equivalent) in the WinZip Extract dialog to make sure the files go into the proper subfolders of the FM plug-in directory.
