Are you new to PSP? Are you just learning the basics so far and are wondering what Plug-ins/Filters are?
Well I hope this will help answer your questions!

Installing Plug-ins/Filters into PSP

This is my own version of installing PSP,
The way I find easy to put them into my PSP
Without having my PSP crash all the time.

Different tutorials you might need a plug in for they usually have a link to download a plug – in and expect you to know how to use it right, well these steps will hopefully help you understand how to install plug-ins any time you need to.

There are lots of free Plug-Ins and a lot of PTU (Pay To Use) Plug-Ins out there.
You will find lots of them will say photoshop plugin or filter… but you can also use them in PSP.

Before installing your plug-ins you’ll probably need some Plug-in DLL Files.

These are the 3 different ones that PSP Plug-Ins require

Msvcrt10.dll

plugin.dll

icmfilter.dll. – find this one about ½ way down the page

Some plug-ins may need converted, so you may need to download Plug-In Commander

You will have to install them this way for the version of PC you have as follows. They will have to go into each of the folders listed there.Windows 98 - C:\Windows\SystemWindows ME - put the Plugin.dll into C:\Windows and into your plugins folder. Put the Msvcrt10.dll into your C:\Windows\SystemWindows 2000 - C:\WINNT\System32Windows XP - C:\Windows\System32

Go to your My Computer and make a new folder

and name it to whatever name the Plug-in is. Like say you need to install DSB Flux, you would name the folder DSB Flux.

Un-zip the plug in into the folder you made in you’re My Computer.

Click Add, then click Browse and find the Plug-In that you just Un-zipped into your folder in My Computer. Click Ok.

Like so…

Now you want to close PSP out and then re-open it.

Open a new canvas and go to your Effects/Plug-ins and you should find the one you just installed.

Now you can make all sorts of things using any Plug-in that you install to PSP.
