Stand alone always. (I assume this provides slightly better performance)

stand alone, unless i need to mask something first.

I installed it as a plugin....though maybe standalone may have been a better idea. But I am in photoshop all th time anyway, so its no big difference

I mostly use FF in PSP -- where I'm usually doing "photo" type stuff and use the effects in layers. Plus I like to compare variations quickly, by just clicking the "eye" on the layers.

I almost always use it in standalone mode when creating a filter. There are rare exceptions where I take it to Photoshop though for testing with unusual image elements though ^_^

Exit PS? I don’t think so.

I use it mostly with Photoshop, but I have used it alone.

I usually use it stand alone so it has more available ram.
you don't use PS as the OS shell??? .. |

RAM doesn't matter much, unless you use large images, say 3000x3000 and larger. Plus, Filter Forge is very good at managing memory, so you can render huge images even on a small amount of RAM. I wouldn't worry about this. |

XP as a PS plug-in? I like it.  Better yet XP and PS as a FF components. The first think I would do is plug the XP component in a threshold to clear away some of the clutter. Next I would plug the repeat curve into PS so I could have multiple concurrent instances.  @ronviers |

I use mine as a Photoshop plugin just about all the time because I haven't made a filter (I must be one of the few in these forums who's never crafted one yet), and because I mix it up with other tools when layering and makin' magic.
I didn't know there'd be performance gains when running as standalone — what kind of a boost can I expect to see? I'm enjoying using Filter Forge to create http://torley.com/textures |

99.9% of my usage is in stand alone. Once, I used it with photoshop when I needed to crop an image before using my filter.
