Installation

 

Some graphics applications, e.g. Photoshop, and Photoshop Elements, demand that you install ColorWasher into their Plugins folder. So you already have to choose the appropriate plugins folder during installation as it can be seen in the screen shot below. Others applications, like Paint Shop Pro, Photo-Paint or PhotoImpact, let you install ColorWasher wherever you like and let you select the ColorWasher location in their Preferences or Options dialog. Below are some short instructions for installing ColorWasher in various applications.
