The standalone FF is right but when I try to open the plug in it doesn't work and says "<class XFW::ArgumentError> The handle 0052B9B0 is not a valid window handle"

How can i resolve the problem? I need FF immediatly or i can't work smile:(

Please don't create multiple threads with a single issue.

What host application do you use?
Does FF work for you in the standalone mode?

I'm sorry.

I use Filter Forge with Photoshop CC and it works in the standalone mode.

Maybe the problem is when I install it, because it give me only the "Standalone Option" as in the attached.

Sorry for double-checking but is it indeed original Photoshop CC, not CC 2015 or any other later version? (People tend to call any Photoshop version "CC" for some reason).

Is your Photoshop installed in the default folder C:\Program Files\... ?

What is your Filter Forge build (in Filter Forge, select Help > About)?

Akral Design, this is highly unusual. You're doing everything right but for some unknown reason the installer fails to recognize your Photoshop.

Judging from the words

I suppose you tried to load the plugin manually. You need to copy the two plugin files – "Filter Forge 5 x64.8bf" and "Filter Forge.config" – and then specify the correct plugin settings:

in the "Filter Forge.config" file navigate to the IndependentUI line and change the value to true. Save the changes and restart Photoshop.
