I found if I toss a few out, I can get down to the plugs starting with "Y", so apparently there is a limit and using the optional plugin directory doesn't help.

Well that's a no-brainer. I can't scroll down using the arrow past files starting with "Ph*". I can scroll for a bit, but it stops at "Ph*".

Doesn't help here Lou. Thanks for the help, but I'm not beating my head against the wall on this one. I was just curious if anyone else has expereienced the issue or know why it occours. I think part of the problem lies in developers of some plugs don't bundle all effects into one .8bf file, but seperate them so the list grows longer. I can trim some fat though. When CS came out, I liked having PS7 loaded with the plugins and custom effects I use, and also having a clean CS for quick fixes and enhanced use. C'mon CS3!!!

Well I am strictly referring to installing 3rd party plugins and filters, not brushes, patterns, styles, etc... ( I do realize that complex layer styles appended is a real load time killer!). But clicking on the arrow from the Filters dropdown, won't go past "Ph*". If say I install another plugin beginning in "R", I probably wouldn't be able to scroll down past "Pa*". It appears as though there is a limit, however I can't find any documentation of the fact. I realize I could probably spend some time and trim some fat, but just curious if anyones knows of a limit or not.

Thanks! The profile was incorrectly set. I think that squares me away. Cheers, JJ

Thanks for the reply. I just changed settings around a bit and will see how it works. Maybe I will just install another copy that is bare so I don't have to wait 5 minutes to load just for some quick color adjustments. I have XP Pro and it definitely handles memory much more reliably and efficiently. I'd be dead in the water if I still suffered with ME...LOL :?)

Thanks for the suggestions.

Thanks for the advice all...

Select the negative object used to create the empty space inside the glass. Duplicate it and make it positive. Create a cube and stretch it out to extend past the X and Z axis of the sphere and lower the y position to the desired level and make negative. Group them together and make positive. Now apply your liquid material of your choice.
