I just downloaded this plug in: http://thepluginsite.com/products/plugi ... index.html And I have them installed and everything, but when I go to use them I can't figure it out. It shows the preview and everything, but theres nothing to say okay I want that. If that makes any sence... Can someone please help me? Thanks.

Oh.. I see, it says, "Before using the plugins you have to start your preferred image editing application and open an 24bit image. Please note that the Plugin Galaxy plugins only work with 24bit images. If you open a 256 color/8bit image, you have to convert it to 24-bit RGB before applying a plugin. Select the menu item that leads to the plugin filters (usually it is Filter, Effects or Image -> Plug-ins) and choose an item from the Plugin Galaxy sub menu."

But I can't figure out how to change it to that.

I go to "mode" and it only has the 8bit and 16 bit. Does anyone know how to do this? It would help me heaps. I'm using adobe photoshop 7.0. If that makes any difference... Thanks..

The missing OK button in the Plugin Galaxy Demo is part of the demo limitations. Only the Zoom and PopArt plugins have an OK button, because they are free.

You can see how the final effects wil looks like in the preview box when the zoom ratio is set to 1:1. To apply the effects to the image you need the full version.

We plan to change the demo of the next Plugin Galaxy release to output some kind of pattern as a demo protection, but you will then be able to apply the effect in the demo version.
