In PS CC 2014 the filters would not start properly. Neither the forum nor support were able to offer solutions while many more users reported a similar issue. Half a star was added because the standalone version worked, but I was after the plugin version. I suggest to wait until the manufacturer has announced a fix. A manual removal of the installation is also required as the installer does not come with an un-install option.

I recently purchased Filter Forge 3.0 along with the 4.0 upgrade to use as a plugin with Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended. This is a very powerful graphic effects program, the full power of which I have barely touched, being as I don't take the time to create my own filters. Thanks to the thousands of free filters which are regularly uploaded to the Filter Forge website -- which one can download into their own copy of Filter Forge -- one will never run out of new ways to enhance their images in Adobe Photoshop -- and in other compatible host programs -- with high-quality borders, textures and other amazing effects.
