Filter Forge - Help needed for problem with Photoshop plug-in

I downloaded and installed the Mac beta version of Filter Forge. The standalone app seems to work fine, except for it quitting periodically when downloading filters, which has already been reported.

The plug-in does not work. I need some help from a Mac user to verify that I have set it up correctly. I couldn't locate any instructions with my Mac version. I copied and pasted the FF universal plug-in into the PS CS4 plug-in folder, trying two different paths...

HD1->Applications->Adobe Photoshop CS4->Plug-ins->Filter Forge->Filter Forge universal.plugin

I also tried the following path:

HD1->Applications->Adobe Photoshop CS4->Plug-ins->Filter Forge universal.plugin

Adobe Photoshop error message: Could not complete the Filter Forge command because of a program error.

I opened a .jpeg image in Photoshop, then tried to open the FF plugin to work on the image. I got the above message.

I duplicated the background layer and tried to open the FF plugin to work on the duplicate layer. I got the above message.

What have I done wrong? Any suggestions on how to get the plug-in working in my Mac. I have no problems with my Windows version.

My system:

Oh, I didn't find that thread, where is it as I just put in a new thread, too. (BTW, put in the whole folder for FF into your PS plugins folder.)

Here is the thread in the Mac version bug/problem thread.

Mac Beta version bug/problem thread

Thanks for your reply. I didn't put the FF folder in the PS plugin folder because someone said it didn't work for them. When I decided to try it anyway, the program wouldn't open without a license key after 5 days of use in the Beta. smile:cry:

Now I'm waiting for a response to my request for a license key, since I already had a prepaid order pending release.

As soon as I get the key I will try the copying the folder to the PS Plugin folder and keep my fingers crossed that it works for me.

I hope someone responds today with the key so I don't have to wait until after the weekend to use the beta. After waiting so long, it is torture to have to keep waiting after a little taste. smile:D
