ABOUT THE SOFTWARE

Title : BW-Plus Filter (Fotomatic Series)
Version : 1.3v
Date : February 2008

A single Photoshop-compatible plug-in filter for quickly turning your colour images into greyscale, but with the added option of using a coloured optical lens filter as you would in traditional photography. The different colours will change the tonal range during the greyscale conversion. There are 6 preset effects to choose from using R,G,B and C,M,Y filters.

This minor update release fixes a problem when running the filter under Vista with over 2GB of memory installed.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS (PC)

Windows 95/98/ME/2000/XP/Vista
Photoshop-compatible host application

* Please note that not all graphics programs are 100% compatible with plug-in filters. Some will display the controls a bit differently or certain features may not work properly. Consult your program's documentation for more information regarding the use of 3rd-party plug-ins.

This filter was programmed specifically for Adobe Photoshop but it should work fine with many other hosts too. If you encounter any compatibility problems then please report the details and I will do my very best to fix any errors that occur, if possible.

INSTALLATION

1. Please remove any previous version of BW-Plus before installing Version 1.3v

2. Unzip all the files to your chosen "Plug-Ins" folder on your hard drive
    for example ... C:\Photoshop\Plug-Ins\Fotomatic

3. Start your graphics program and configure it to look in that folder for extra plugins
    (not all software will require this step, please refer to the instructions given with your host)

4. Exit your program and re-start in order for your configuration settings to take effect

5. Open an image ready to edit, making sure it is in RGB mode

6. BW-Plus should now be available from the "Filter" menu in the "Fotomatic" section

Please read the documentation that came with your graphics software for more information regarding the installation and use of plug-in filters. Thank you.
