Microsoft Impressionist Built-In Styles

[RobertM]

I have had the Impressionist plug in installed in PS CS2 for quite some time but I only have one Built-IN Style...Charcoal, set as Default. Can you point me to where I will find the many other styles? Perhaps they're buried in a folder or were never loaded in the first place?

Thanks!!!

Hi Robert...

To make a long story short the plugin is improperly installed and/or is missing files. No point in trying to add custom styles at this point until this problem is fixed because the plugin would not be able to see them, that is, Charcoal > Defaut would still be your only option. (When installed correctly, there are 16 other categories besides Charcoal and about 160 or settings besides Default.)

Click my name (above), send me an e-mail and I'll send you info (and an attached MS Word doc) that will get you on your way.

JP... you're way too kind! Thx, too, for the RAW / no DOF tweak confirmation.

Thanks Danny,

I have found the Impressionist Zip on another site, and now I can see all the presets...but they're all in tif file format.??
Thanks for the offer to mail you on this.

See e-mail I sent with all the gory details. Glad you're over the hump.
