Once you have obtained your license registration code, use the Make...
button to create a standalone filter. The first time you do this, you will
be prompted to enter your registration information. Enter the same user name
and organization name that you used when purchasing your registration code,
followed by the registration code itself. Note that all fields are case-sensitive
-- you may wish to copy and paste the registration information to ensure that
it is entered correctly.
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 0.4.21 plug-in, the 0.4.21 release notes,
and the readme.txt file.
The rest of the zip files contain sample filters and the FM manuals in pdf format.
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.
