Managing plug-ins

Plug-ins provide additional features and effects for image editing in Corel PHOTO-PAINT. Special effect plug-in filters process image information and alter an image according to preset specifications.

At start-up, Corel PHOTO-PAINT automatically detects and loads plug-ins placed in the plug-ins folder. You can add more plug-ins to the plug-ins folder or you can add plug-ins installed in other locations. Note that third-party plug-ins must be installed in a folder for which you have read and write access. You can disable plug-ins you are not using.

If your plug-ins are installed in the CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4Plug-ins folder, you must add individual plug-ins to the list on the Plug-ins page, and disable the first check box in the list (the CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4Plug-ins folder) before you can disable individual plug-ins. To add individual plug-ins to the list, see “To install a plug-in from another location.”
