Plug-Ins

Plug-Ins are software modules that extend the capabilities of Artweaver. Many Plug-Ins come with Artweaver. Other Plug-Ins are available from third-party software developers.

Artweaver uses the following types of Plug-Ins:

· Effects filters offer special effects for raster images. You can access available filters from the Filters menu.

· File format Plug-Ins extend the support for opening and/or saving different image formats.

· Import Plug-Ins support acquisition of images through external devices (such as scanners and digital cameras) and file formats not built into the application.

· Export Plug-Ins export image data and support special output devices.

Installing Plug-Ins

All Plug-Ins are specific to Artweaver and must reside in the Artweaver Plug-In folder.

To install new Plug-Ins

· Follow the installation instructions provided by the Plug-In manufacturer.

· If you installed the Plug-In in the Artweaver Plug-In folder, Artweaver automatically loads the Plug-In during startup.

· If Artweaver is running, restart it to activate the new Plug-In.
