Glad to hear it Molly.
I just went through all the pre-installed filters...wow!
Plus if you open any image and click the filter window until you see a window with a outlet plug in it.

Click that preset window and a list of presets will open.

Click a preset in the list and click apply - the preset will load
Soon a window will open with an ok on it click it and your ready to paint on the effect!
What i like about this program, is that you can apply the effect anywhere without making a selection. =)
Click the little plug icon on the top/right and you can load any PS filter into it.

Just click the folder underneath the window and browse to one of your 8bf's. - nice!
