I also heard someone say the local Photoshop plug-in wouldn't work in Bryce. Not totally true, most of the effects in the photoshop filter folder will work.

When I pointed to my photoshop plug-in folder, all plug-ins were listed and a bunch made Bryce crash. So I created a new folder on my hard drive and copied all the filters I installed to photoshop
to it, and the photoshop filter folder.
Now my Bryce filter folder looks like this.

Any filters that Bryce has problems with either
gives a message to select an area, or that the filter
can't be used in Bryce, and it will remove it from the list.
Anyway none made it crash anymore.

Here's a couple of other things I just learned
in the TE.
hold down the Ctrl & Alt keys while clicking on
the picture button ( elevation tools ) to enter
the DTE, and use a procedural texture to create the terrain.

or the Ctrl & space bar keys while clicking on
the picture button ( elevation tools ) to enter
the picture editor.
