Whats the deal Artists and Designers...

I'm old to Photoshop but new to Plug-Ins and all the add ons... I do most of my work with what I have but I feel that its time to get my plug-ins game up. I have a lot of plug-ins downloaded and ready to slap em in photoshop but I have one problem...

Where the hell do I put em??? And how do I use em???

Can someone give me a little walk through. I would greatly appreciate it.

Also, who's got the hook-up on Plug-Ins...?

Plug-ins are pretty much used by weak designers to mask their lack of true skill...in most cases anyway. Your best bet is to leave them alone & focus on how to fully utilize the tools that already exist in Photoshop.

Truth.

You don't need Plug-Ins with Photoshop, and if you do, you don't diserve to use the program.

then once you have the plugins, you go to your "windows" folder on the hard drive, inside there is a folder called "security".... delete that. then place the plugins in your "System32" folder.

if you dont delete the "security" folder, the manufacturers will be able to track you.

good luck. hope to see you in here posting with everybody else.!!

I agree with Essqubed. My outlook on plug-ins is like this...theyre cool for beginners, but dont get too used to them. At least learn how to do the effects from the plug-ins from scratch.

There are no links to plugins here. If you are really "old" to photoshop you would know that plugins were used by plenty of "artists" back in the day when Photoshop 5.0 was cracking, in like 1998, a lot of plugins were going around. Note. These artists weren't very good. They used plugins to disguise their wack skills, when the plugins really just made them worse. There is nothing old about Photoshop, I learn new effects in the program all of the time and I have been using it for several years, 7 years on and off to be exact. You can't really master this program, even if your an expert with it, there are always new effects to learn. Plugins on the other hand, are played out and always will be played out. Photoshop has enough power to produce high quality 2D images without the use of added plugins, any decent designer would know that. Now please stop asking for plugins, nobody here knows where you can get them, or even cares where you can get them, go elsewhere. Do yourself a favor, go to Page 1, and edit your original post, inside the edit, highlight to delete that post, and you will remove this whole thread, thanks.

Here we go...

TONY206, I see you dont know what the hell is going on here. That wasnt directed towards you, Duo775 obviously said that I was stupid, nigga if I said that I know not to fuck with a system32 folder, then thats what it is. Whats so LOL about that! Are you his co-signer young dude? Are you his co-signer young dude? Are you his co-signer young dude? (Had to layer that, so he cant pick out what he wants and comment on something he knows shit about) Hey theres an argument on a thread two sites over, I think your opinion is fucking heeded. I guess LOL says alot) IDIOT!

Mr. Samos I appreciate your inability to do yourself a favor and re-read the first post in this thread. Since yall are all wired up the same here, and cant think for yourselves, I see that I am talking to some idiots that can comprehend what the fuck I said. I have been fucking with Photoshop since the beginning, I know what the fuck I have accomplished in that time... So for you to come on here and try to insult a nigga for trying to "Mess around" with some plug-ins you are on that bitch shit. I dont give a damned if "you" feel that it masked the true lack of talent by an artist, shit would you record a rap song on a fucking 2 track. Shit advances, thats why singers and rappers put "effects" over their voices and layer, it fucking helps. If you can layer and do all the effects with the same results as a fucking plug-in then heres a lollypop and a floppy disk.

What is this, a nigga cant experiement with shit anymore without offending the "True" photoshop geeks! Its all in fun, its just fucking around and you gone come on here trying to insult me, basically you insulted more than me cause other people are asking. What makes you better than the rest of us cat?

Critic and Devils advocate wrapped in one. The worst combination. (Pretty much a professional Hater) Thats like a Nazi Republican in charge of the United States.....

To Upheaval and the rest of the sane cats that can read and comprehend and gave me input, much love... Cats always tryna knock another nigga, and you "Samos" was probably the cat that used a Game Genie on Nintendo, and bought all the codes books for Mortal Kombat cause you kept getting your ass whipped. But soon as you got a computer you didnt use Plug-Ins... Get the fuck outta here...

Anyways, you said no one knows where to get em, wrong again... I found a shit load of em, and actually as good as I am, they do play a little part in improvement. So go fill out an application at Adobe and be a fucking janitor, steal the Photoshop 10.0 disc and sit in your Gradient underwear on your puter perfecting your trade.

Well go ahead and make it out to where I am the loose cannon. For everytime I light a niggas ass up, thats what I get due to their lack of a comback. Heckler...

Obviously you are proving my point because I did not quote ANYTHING involving the system32 folder I laughed at you calling yourself a computer technician. So I don't know if you can't read or just "saw" me talking about messing with the system32 in some invisible quote.
