Important notice!

We are currently unable to offer compatibility or technical support for our plug-ins.

You can still download the free plug-ins, try out the demo plug-ins and purchase licenses and we do provide administrative support (i.e. providing downloads and missing license information).

Make sure to try out the demo of the plug-in you want before purchasing a license for it.

Compatibility

Our plug-ins require a Photoshop™ plug-in compatible graphics application, running on the Windows™ operating system.
Support for Windows 95, 98, NT, XP, Vista™, 7, 8 and 10 in both 64-bit and 32-bit versions.

The following tables list tested applications.
More recent versions of compatible applications will usually be compatible as well.
