This plug-in allow filters built with Adobe's Filter Factory plug-in for Photoshop to be run in Paint.NET.

The Filter Factory plug-ins use an interpreted language to modify an image.




The Filter Manager will search the directories specified in the directory search list to for filters to display by category.

The Build Filter button will build the loaded filter as a separate plug-in for Paint.NET to use.

A list of some of the Filter Factory filters is available at http://thepluginsite...rces/freeff.htm.

File version 1.0.3.7.

And the source code for the GPL licensed interpreter from the Gimp's UserFilter

Just tried it loading some of the .8BF files that i have in my Photoshop plugin folder, nothing happens I'm using Windows 7 x64 and i added the folder for it to search, it doesn't return any filters in the the filter list

This is not a general Photoshop plugin shim, Cookies. It allows filters built with Filter Factory to be used in Paint.NET.

Think of Filter Factory as a Photoshop version of CodeLab. It's a plugin that allows other filters to be built within Photoshop. As far as I know.

I've also tried it. Downloaded some simple looking bevel filters from the linked site and got them loaded into the plugin OK.

All I get are various horisontal distortions, no matter which of the filters I apply

@null54: Can you add a handful of filters so we can see it working? I would also like to see some documentation. Controls named ctl(4) or Map(2) don't exactly scream their function at me.

It does look very promising, but first impressions are...., daunting!

Oh... Just didn't thought that they HAD to be made by Filter Factory but it seems they have to the plugins from the site he linked to loaded fine

The zip has been updated with the official documentation and example code.

Private: confirmed.

Private: confirmed.

The link should now be fixed.

[Ego Eram Reputo]

The link is fine. Thank you for the examples and documentation.

I'm still not getting anything more than the same horisontal distortions, regardless of which filter I apply....,

Do you have a screenshot of this?

The output of the Filter Factory Example.afs filter should be:



If not I am have no idea what the problem is.

Well, didnt use the Filter Factory Example.afs but i assigned the red channel to all channels except A and the output was




those are the horizontal things

My only guess is that it could be a bug in the parser.

I'm moving this to Plugin Developer's Central until you can get it working for someone, anyone.

[null54]

The cause of the banding was a thread collision issue, that is now fixed.

That is what I get for not testing on a multi-core machine.

[pyrochild]

OK, but now all your samples just turn the image black. A couple in the Transparency Suite Examples folder work.

[null54]

The samples have been changed to the ones from Filter Foundry so they should now work correctly.

[Ego Eram Reputo]

The attached filters do work. Quite well actually.

Octagon and Wobble-2d are rather nice!


It seems that all of the other filters have problems so I've just deleted them. I'll download one or two others just to see that they also work before giving this the thumbs up.

Edit: 'Build Filter' is non functional .

[null54]

Build Filter should now be fixed.
