Not all filters are compatible with FU, but if one isn't it will tell you when you try to upload. Also those with subfilters, don't load more than 10-15 subfilters at once, or FU will crash and you have to use the FU fix. (called import fix) when it crashed it just won't let you load anything else.

LOL sorry I did not make myself clear on the plugins thing, I am copying and pasting each plugins to the FU. That is why it is taking so long.
I am thinking now I need to uninstall and psp and reinstall it. Cause it is should alot of plugins in it that I don't even have in my plugins folder. Weird!

And the funniest thing, today I was doing a tut and there was a NEW filter that I had to import into FU. First time that has happened in a long time. I have a zillion there.

A quick run through to say 'hello'. Having a lovely time with the families. I've got an easy challenge ready for Friday. Every one has gone to bed after a chat by the fire. It's cold. I hope you're all well. Goodnight.

Winter in June in Australia. I remember when we went it was January and people said, why are you going to Australia in the summer? Well my answer was...I do live in Florida and would definitely rather have hot weather than cold. Even when it gets to 50 degress here, I get cold brrrrrrr People laugh, but remember before Florida I lived 17 years in Puerto Rico, another "warm" place LOL

Our temperatures are probably just a little lower than yours Huronna . Catherine and Phillip from New Zealand think our Winter is warm ,while I shiver. 50F is 10C and I would have to wear thermal. I don't know much about Puerto Rico so I'll have to google. I lived outback for 14 years with unbelievably hot days and no rain for years. Coming from Melbourne I never thought I'd pray for rain. One monotonous day after another of sun. The first day of rain I saw there my then 3 year old was agog and the cat went berserk. Like The US we have all types of climates.

It was really hot here today! Tomorrow it is supposed to be even hotter - 97 F. I worked at 6 a.m. and then took a little nap. I will take a tubbie and choose my outfit and maybe do some PSP and go back to bed after the late news har har.

I am just going by what Alicat/Lyn had wrote here, she sent me a note pad with instructions on how to do this, so I just went by those instruction.
Grassy it has been in the 80's here, but humid is very high makes it feel like the 90's.
Found out my dad is in the hospital again, they may have to take off his foot cause of infection. I am hoping not, but if so he maybe moving in with us. If we can get him too. He has diabetes so he went for a few days without knowing his foot was infected. My brother noticed it today and took him to the Dr.

Around the first of the year my son’s oldest daughter, Kacy had told us that she was expecting. They have one little girl that is now 6 years old. But Kacy also told us she was expecting twins. About two weeks after that she had a doctors appointment and one of the babies had died. Then a couple of weeks after that she misscarried the other one. She didn’t even get through the first trimester. They were devastated but knew they could again and I was told on Mother’s Day the expecting again. This time she is past the first trimester so they felt safe in letting the family know. Well got sad news today that she saw a genitisist (?) And they found that this baby had several defective problems going on and she was advised to terminate. If not she would either miscarry again or deliver still born. I know she is totally Heartbroken and beside herself.. so goes it in the desert of arizona

We went to Iowa near Ames to visit my 92 year old Aunt and 94 year old Uncle. We got there Sunday evening and after we got the motor home parked we went into their home and had a great visit. Monday we did more visiting. Near noon my Aunt said she would like a slammer. That iis a sort of like a subway sandwich with a variety of meats and cheese on a big hamburger bun. The little town near them has a gas station with a deli and the owner makes them. Mondays they usually sell more than 300. The other towns around are closed on Monday so they go there for slammers. The guys went over and got 4 Slammers. We had lunch together. My aunt ate half of hers and she was so tired. After eating we went to the motor home to allow her to rest. She had found the lump in her breast last year in March but could not get in to see the doctor until this year. She had tried calling every day but sadly was told they could not see her. Then they told her this year she had four months left. Tuesday we got the motor home ready to go back to Missouri. Went over to say goodbye and Thank them. They felt they were not good hosts. We tried to tell them they were wonderful hosts as we only came to visit not be entertained. We also said we did not want to wear them out which is why I decided not to stay longer before we even went up. On the 7 1/2 hour drive home the fuel filter started to clog up. We found a station that sold diesel fuel and Jerry put on the spare filter we always carry the spare. Then we continued on south. Hit a couple rain showers which was good as it let the windshield wipers take the bug splatters off and made it much better to see out. Baxter loved sitting in my lap watching out the windshield as he could lay down on my lap and still watch out. Arrived home early evening and got the necessities out of the. RV. Completing the final removal yesterday. I did not take everything out though. We left enough in just in case we need to or want to go again. Suzie, how heartbreaking for them to lose the twins then this finding. If it were me I would carry this one instead of terminating. Some have done that and the baby was fine. We lost the first one but later found I am O- and Jerry is O+ and I did not get the needed shot and could not carry another for more than a few weeks. So many couples are having the same problem. Grassy, I remembered a necklace a friend had given me. I love how the beads wrap around rthe larger bead. No clasp because it is big enough to slip over my head. Here is a picture of it. View AttachmentHuronna, what is FU? Lynx, so sad to hear about your father. Hope it does not come the foot amputation. Diabetes is a horrid disease. We’ll time to get my day started. Have a good day and hope to see you all soon.

Filters Unlimited is not a filter or filters. It is a programme. It lets you import filters, which you can then apply within Paint Shop Pro. Its own native filters are the Filter Factory Galleries, which carry the file extension .ffl ... as opposed to standard Photoshop filters which carry the file extension .8bf. However, Filters Unlimited will import and apply both types of filters.
To use it, you install it to your Plug-ins Folder (make sure PSP's File Locator is pointing to the folder you install it in). Once installed, it can be accessed within PSP from Effects/Plugins/I.C Net Software/Filters Unlimited (It has the < & > signs before and after the name I.C. Net Software ... and is always the first plugin showing in PSP). Once opened in PSP, you then need go to the bottom of the dialog box and click on Import. Use the browse facility to locate the filter that you wish to import, and import it. The newly imported filter will show on the left side of the dialog box. If, for example, it is Filter Factory Gallery N, then when you click on it, on the right side of the box, all filters in the "N" gallery will be displayed. Select the filter you want (in this case Wee Scratches) and the settings box for that filter appears. Insert your settings and click Apply, and you're in bizzo.
Filters Unlimited will take precedence if you have duplicate filters installed. For example ... let us say you have a filter named XYZ in V.M Toolbox and you also have a filter with the same name in Filters Unlimited. The one in V.M Toolbox will not show ... only the one in F.U will. This is why a lot of people cannot understand why filters will not show when they are installed ... it is because one exists somewhere else in their plugins, with an identical name ... and PSP will not show a filter more than once.
Not my words just c/p these, better than I could say

Oh lynx, diabetes is a terrible disease. I'm so sorry this has happened to your father. Huronna gave a good explanation of FU. I use it only for the .ffx filters because most others work with my versions. Suzie, what a roller coast ride, and I'm so sorry. I'm sure they are devastated and the family is feeling beyond terrible. Whispy, how wonderful you could see your aunt, I hate how covid has disrupted our medical appts. I have a friend whose dil has breast cancer in the lymph nodes now even though she had a mammo during covid, came on fast. Hate that disease...can't believe my mother survived it in the early 60s.
We set a record time at my book club luncheon, they came at noon and left at 4:30. A bunch of motor mouths they are. I served a Quinoa Salad w/black beans, mango and avocado. I ordered homemade bread from a local guy who has a cottage industry making wonderful bread, Quinoa Sourdough and an Olive and Herb Sourdough. Made iced tea but John opened a sparkling wine so we could celebrate finally being together. John baked us a Swedish Almond Cake and used Silk Almond Milk half and half because one of our members is lactose intolerant. He wasn't happy with it but we all thought it was wonderful, lots of butter and sugar...who wouldn't like that! Selected our books for the year and decided to meet in a restaurant w/party room going forward. We have some small restaurants here who have some small side rooms for special events. It's time. Aside from my issues, one member broke her right hand last year and it will never be the same and another has MS and is wheel chair bound. Another younger member struggles with taking care of her 98 yr old mother from afar, managing the care as she lives in her home, and she flies back to St. Louis on a regular basis.
We have a huge fire raging on the other side of the Peaks very near the Skinner Trading Post we visited a while back, it's grown to 5,000 acres with 0 containment and the winds are whipping it around. It's closed the major highway from Flagstaff to the Grand Canyon in sections. I can't wait for the monsoon season to start. Getting warmer here, so sorry you are cold Silk. When you are cold, we are warm. Good to see you Tilly.

Thank you Huronna for that info. Whispy I'm sure your Aunt and her husband appreciated the effort you made to see them. That is really awful that Covid has affected medical appoinments. Flagryl glad to learn that your book club luncheon went well. The food sounds delicious. I also used to run a book club some years back but ours were just coffee and cake in the evening. Oh, the dreaded fires...that is not good news. We're enjoying the company of Joe's daughter and husband. Lots of long chats and discussions on how to fix the world !!! They always bring bottles of French Champagne that we love. My brandy Alexander cheese cake wasn't up to scratch...Joe helped me and didn't dissolve the gelatine well enough. We all ate it anyway and everyone seemed to enjoy it. It was warmer today thankfully. We had the cold coming from the Arctic. freezing. Won't be long before we see the Humpback Whales going north to the warmer feeding and breeding waters. That is a sight one never gets tired of. It's late and bedtime for me.

Glad you are having a great time with Joe's family. I know it's been a long time since you all got together. Flagryl, you are lucky to have such a great baker in your house and to have such good control. I would be as big as a house with all that yummy stuff around. Sorry to hear about those fires, are they getting them under control? Lynx how is your father doing, are they going to be able to save his leg? Diabetes is bad enough, but the complications that come along with it are more than miserable. I've been working with a new Travel agent, the difference between the old and new is like night and day. I am thinking positively that everything is going to be a go. Our first little venture is actually for a reunion of one of Joe's ships. and is being held in Providence RI. We have been planning on going to that one especially since our friends who live in CT. are going to pick us up after the reunions and we will spend a week with them and they will take us back to the airport....next trip is a cruise in Sept, starting in Malta. Let's see what happens there and then the rest will fall into place

Got up this morning....no TV, no internet and no phone. Hubby was READING A BOOK!!!!! and had a very sad look on his face. So I got my cell phone and dialed Frontier. First time this has happened in years. Lovely tech rep, and in 17 minutes, we actually got everything working. The last resort after his doing all the diagonostics was to hold the reset button on the box in the garage for 30 seconds. And while he was getting the ticket ready for the tech rep to come here, the lights on the router started flashing....woo hoo we are back in service!! Oh happy days!

Whispy, the necklace is stunning! That is called Bead Weaving - it is very intricate and very hard to do! Your friend is incredibly talented. That is supremely hard to do! It is time consuming!
I am so sorry for all the sad news! Love and prayers to everyone.
I haven't been withstanding the heat as well as I have in years past. Minnesota has been breaking record after record. I have been getting heat migraines and just feeling so tired and blah.
I haven't done doodly squat. My eyes are all googly too.
Work is awesome - getting up to work at 6 a.m. is not that bad either, but I nap in the afternoons which is not so smart. I am sleeping like a little kittycat - like all the time. Unsure if it is just the heat or what.

Well, Tuesday is surgery time for me. I am seeing a plastic surgeon to have my spare tire in the front removed. he told me he will do an incision all the way around me and pull my skin up. Glad I will be knocked out. So he said he always has to do a tummy tuck when he does this surgery. I had to go Saturday to have a covid test. It has to be done at a facility in their network. I also have a telemed appointment with the Nurse practitioner at the Neurology office. My Doctor has left the practice so this will be the last time I am going to see them I think.
My surgery is in Toledo. Have to be there at 9:30 and surgery is 11:30. he wanted me to stay over night because of my MS. Hopefully I will be home Wednesday.
