Adding AKVIS Plugins to AliveColors Image Editor

The AliveColors image editor is a powerful tool for editing and correcting photos.

It's possible to expand the functionality of the editor by adding external plugins.

Proceed as follows to add the plugins to AliveColors:

• Open the Preferences dialog box by clicking in the upper right corner of the program window.
• Go to the Filters & Plugins tab. In the Plug-ins Directory field, browse the folder where you've copied the .8bf files.
  

  Actually, you can use any folder which contains the plug-in files (8bf):

  • A folder created specifically for this purpose: for example, C:\My Plugins. Copy all the .8bf files into this folder to make them appear in the effects list.
  • A default folder. For example, on Windows AKVIS plugins are installed into C:\Program Files\AKVIS.
  • You can use a plugins folder of another graphics editor. You may need this option if you're using several graphic editors on the same machine.

  Click OK.

• Restart AliveColors and call the plug-in from the Effects menu.
