To install the filters:

Copy the .8bf files into the PLUGIN folder. Restart PhotoShop.


These filters are designed with Adobe Filter Factory. This causes some inconveniences in the menue design:

- the settings of the sliders are always between 0 and 255 even if they resemble values like degrees or offsets from -10 to 10
	
- in some cases the preview shows an absolute value of the forthcoming result - not a scaled-down one. I will try to correct this in a later update.
	
- Filter Factory filters need a lot of memory and can only be applied on RGB images


Description of the filters:

Brightness Distortion 1.0

distorts an image depending on the brightness of the pixel. 


Cyberdelic 1.0

swaps the colours of an image depending on a Threshold		


Dither 1.0

Radial Noise 1.0

has an "eighties neon-effect".


Slipthrough 1.0

simply moves the image 50% of its width to the left and 50% of its height to the bottom
whilst putting the disappearing parts to the right and the top. You can have very nice effects using centre-oriented filters like twirl or spherize before and after slipthrough.


Transmission 1.0

the "televison"-effect. adds horizontal scanlines in selectable height and contrast to the 	picture. You can also add an offset to the alternating lines.


X-Mirror / Y-Mirror 1.0
