TECHNICAL BULLETIN STB122

 

Product: Satori PaintFX version 1.0 / Satori FilmFX version 3.1
O/S: Windows 98 / NT 4 (Windows 95 not supported)
Subject: Satori CanvasFX & Satori PaintFX are not detected by Photoshop
Date: 11th August 1999

FAULT

Having installed Satori PaintFX the Satori CanvasFX and Satori PaintFX filters do not appear in the filter listing.

SOLUTION

The Satori PaintFX and Satori CanvasFX filters are installed in a folder called "Satori" under the "Plug-Ins" folder of Photoshop (as per Photoshop 5). Unfortunately Photoshop 4 requires them to be installed under "PlugIns". To overcome the problem, simply move the "Satori" folder under "Plug-Ins" to the "PlugIns" folder using Windows Explorer. Whilst doing this make sure Photoshop is not running. Re-start Photoshop and now you will see a Satori entry under "Filters", which in turn reveals CanvasFX and PaintFX.

The first time you try to use CanvasFX no filters will appear in the "Choose CanvasFX" listing. Change the folder to include the Photoshop "Plugins" folder i.e.:

c:\adobe\photoshop\plugins\satori\canvasfx

Then press "OK". The filters will then appear.

Warning Notice: Windows 95

Please note that the above solution does not work for Windows 95. Satori PaintFX v1 currently does not support the Windows 95 operating system.
