Molly it calls the image program called XnView so you can edit a temp image in it with photo-shop filters as they run better in Xnview. Then it reopens it in Gimp with the changes....
sweet guess what i did Rob?
I altered your code just a little to call Deep Paint .. here is the code.
#!/usr/bin/env python
'''
DeepPaintShell.py
call DeepPaint ro allow processing using photoshop plugins. Windows Only.

I believe it will work with any program you want to call.This should be thrown into the master with a setup list of dif programs to call.
All i did was copy the Deep Paint directory to the PF directory in C directory.
Rename it to DeepPaint (no spaces)
Altered the code to above and tried it...worked excellent!
I used them both together no problems.
I love it - i don't think we need PSPI anymore. Ill keep it though. =P
No need for the ps path though.
