Double-click the AfhFM10Beta87.exe icon in your temporary download directory, and follow the instructions. Choose to install the FM plug-in files in the plug-in directory (or the FilterMeister subdirectory) of your favorite Adobe-compatible graphics application. For example, install FM to 'C:\xxx', where 'C:\xxx' might be one of the following typical installation directories, depending on your graphics application:

Application	Typical Installation Directory
Photoshop 4.01	C:\Adobe\Photoshop\Plugins\FilterMeister
Photoshop 5.5, 6, 7, CS	C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop\Plug-Ins\FilterMeister
Paint Shop Pro 6, 7, 8, 9	C:\Program Files\Paint Shop Pro\Plugins\FilterMeister

Start (or re-start) your graphics host application. Load a test image in RGB mode, and then invoke the FilterMeister 1.0 Beta 8.7...filter under the FilterMeister category in your host application's plug-in menu.

The setup creates the following sub folders:
- filters: some plugins from Werner D. Streidt and Ilya Razmanov
- help: the command reference from the FilterMeister Wiki. For the latest version see: http://www.filtermeister.com/wiki/
- pdfmanuals: Three PDF files called FilterMeister Book One - Getting Started, FilterMeister Book Two - User Guide and Digital Image Processing with FilterMeister by Werner D. Streidt.
- sourcecode: Several .ffp files that can be opened in FilterMeister and experimented with
- syntaxfiles: Syntax files for editing .ffp files with various text editors
To generate a standalone filter, you must first purchase a license. For a limited time only, you can purchase a license for half price by registering your copy of FM here:

Special Pre-release Offer

Once you have obtained your license registration code, use the Make... button to create a standalone filter. The first time you do this, you will be prompted to enter your registration information. Enter the same user name and organization name that you used when purchasing your registration code, followed by the registration code itself. Note that all fields are case-sensitive -- you may wish to copy and paste the registration information to ensure that it is entered correctly.
