As you see in the image I circle the little arrows that point down. Click on this and you will see serlect plug-in folder. i have a folder that photoshop and other drawing programs can use and bryce is one of them. I did a goole sreach on xero and photoshop plug-ins and a lot of sites came up. All these Bryce will use I know it will use redfild and xero filders for sure and if you bought some filters for photoshop is will work with bryce too. As for the type of files you can use what ever "Leo" will let you use. I do not know if this the right name "Leo" for this type of action or operation. All I knlow is to get into "Leo" and get the image you working with and you can use the plug-in right in bryce without going first to photoshop. bitmap images can be change to jpegs and the colors can be change there if all else fail. then Put it into "Leo". please forgive me for not knowing the right name for this operation. Plus you can use the deep editor too with "Leo" Redfield have some good free fitlers and some real good ones you can buy. the ones you buy will not save in bryce or on the image at all. you can play with them to see if you like them but you can not save nothing with them. you can do a printsceen on the image you made if you like but it not the same. just buy it if you like it hope I make cent here if not ask again and I do my best to anwer

what you see is not what you know; it in your face
