There is a filter called "Ripleyer" (http://www.freephotoshop.com/html/rorshack.html) which produces a "TV Scanline" effect, i.e, horizontal bars with adjustable size/color.

I have tried to install it on Photoshop CS2 Middle East Version 9.0 on Windows XP. I have put it in the Plug-Ins folder as instructed, but when I start Photoshop, I don’t see it in the "Filters" menu.

Can anyone help me installing this filter?

Another professional quality alternative (preferably free) is ok. I wish not the "Halftone Pattern" trick. I need a filter with adjustable attributes

Thanks in advance.

Works fine for me, under Rorshack Filters towards the bottom. Do you have lots of other additional filters? Maybe try a secondary plugins folder (set under Preferences)

Thanks Ed, that was quite quick response.

Nope, I don’t have much extra plug-ins, none acutally. I have tried your suggestion of using an extra plug-in folder but nothing occured. Does installing a filter involve any thing more than just copying it to the Plug-Ins folder? And what version have you tested the plug-in on?

Thanks in advance

CS. That particular plugin should only require the .8bf file being placed in the Plugins folder. Maybe because it’s the Middle East version? But I don’t know why that would matter.

Maybe try downloading it again.

Ed, your amazingly prompt responses are really appreciated.

I just found the problem!! There was a missing dll (msvcrt10.dll) which PS used to display an error message of on startup, but I’ve always used to igonre it!! By downloading and installing it, everything went fine! Thanks to God.

Thank you for your effort
