Using KPT with Multiple Applications

If you will be using KPT with more than one program and wish
the programs to share the same filters and presets, you can
place the filters in one common directory and then alter
each program's .INI file to reflect the location of the
filters.

For specific information concerning your program, please
check the instructions below.

KPT for Windows Setup:

Fractal Design Painter Version 2.0

1. Hold down the CTRL key when starting Painter.
2. A file selection dialog box will appear.

   installed.

KPT can be set up to work with Picture Publisher two
different ways. We recommend using the setup from within
Picture Publisher.

( I )
To setup from within Picture Publisher.

1. Run Picture Publisher.
2. Select Preferences under the Edit menu.
3. Highlight "Plug-ins" in the "Preference Group" dialog box.

   on Save.
6. You must now exit Picture Publisher and re-start the
   program for the new plug-in directories to take effect.

( II )
Modify the Picture Publisher .INI.

1. If Picture Publisher is running, close it before
   proceeding.
2. Locate the file PP.INI in the Picture Publisher directory.
   Open this file with a text editor such as Windows Notepad.
3. Add a line that points to the directory where the filters
   are located. The line must begin with PLUGINPATH. You can
   add up to two lines, but remember to increment the number
   in each line. For example:

   PLUGINPATH1=c:\KPT
   PLUGINPATH2=c:\[The plug-in directory you wish to add]

4. Save the changes to PP.INI.

Aldus PhotoStyler Version 2.0

1. If PhotoStyler is running, close it before proceeding.

   exist, go to the end of the file and create it on a new
   line.
4. After the heading, add a line that points to the
   directory where the filters are located. The line
   must begin with PLUGINDIR1=. You can add up to nine lines,
   just remember to increment the number in each line. For
   example:

   [PLUG   IN]
