I'm sure some one must have asked for this in the past, but, is their any chance of support for Photoshop plugins? My reason for asking is that I have started to using Twised Brush to make seamless textures for animations, and their are anumber of photoshop filters I find indispenceable... Mura's Cloud: Mehidi's Fur and Flat Median, for example. As good as TB is for making textures (and it is the best freeware app by a miles) I just can not get the same results with the builtin filters.
Also:-

Anychance of the Generate filters be able to generate seamles patterns (As pre Purex Image Styles), I know their is a seamless filter in TB but it blurs the seams tomuch.

In the Layers mix modes, could we also have: And, Or and Xor.

Some one asked a short while ago for saving with Photoshop layers, I would also very much like to see this option, I know it would have limitations but it would still be very,very usefull.

I dare say that not many TB users would want or need any of the above, because not many (if any!) are using TB the way I am, and I can quite understand that you can not accomodate the individual wants of users, but I thought I'd ask all the same.

Hi Bishka,

Nice collection of suggestions. Correct support for older Photoshop filters has been requested previously. While I won't say that it will never happen it was looked into before but at time we didn't go forward with the support for them.

The filters in TB actually make use of the Purex SDK so you'll fine that some of the filters in TB are seamless in nature. Specially many of the generate filters and background filters.

The seamless filter itself is attempt at post processing an image to reduce the hard edges.

If you are using Open Studio you are currently missing out on the Seamless ArtSet (and brush effects) that were added to Pro Studio a couple of months ago. The brushes in this ArtSet allow for painting seamless images, very nice.

Support for PSD layers is something that is still under consideration.

I will consider the additional layer mix modes.

Thanks again for the suggestions!
