* 1 - INTRODUCTION *

     These Photoshop plugins were made while experimenting random algorithms
in Adobe's filter factory (freely available on the net and on the photoshop
CD). They doesn't serve a particular purpose, since the textures they generate
do not create real-life textures, but weird or pattern textures. Only you 
can tell how you will use them, let your imagination flow ...

     I hope you'll like them and that they can be useful in your graphic
experimentations or artworks ! Feel free to send any comments (krust@axes.com)

     Volume I & III of Krusty's FX 2.0 may come soon, isn't it strange ? :)


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
* 2 - WHAT'S NEW *
    
     This is the new version of Krusty's FX vol. II 1.0. Many new changes
have been made since the first version (Released 2 years ago). There's a
totally new 3D user interface (with  256 graphics). I took about half of
the version 1.0 plugins,corrected few bugs and included it in this version. 
The bugs corrected were : 
 
       - The preview windows didn't match the final result
       - They were too slow - The filters are now 2 to 3 times faster.
       - Unwanted bright colors & white were removed from some filters
       - Some minor changes

     Every other filters are completely  new filters. Done from scratch or
are old filters transformed or mixed together.

     Since version 2.0 & 1.0 do not produce the same result and that some
1.0 filters are not available in version 2.0, Version 1.0 will still be
available as version 1.1 (with a new GUI - but no other changes) on KRUST's
web site (http://www.krust.com/krust.html)


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* 3 - COMPATIBLE GRAPHIC APPLICATIONS *

     Krusty's FX only works in RGB mode & support transparency

     The plugin as been tested in Windows 95/98 and Windows NT 4.0, I'm
     not sure if they work in windows 3.1.
  
     This Photoshop Plugin should work in the following applications :

       - Adobe Photoshop 3.x & newer
       - Factral Design Painter 3.x & newer
       - Paint Shop Pro   (I didn't have the time to test supported version)
       - COREL Photopaint (I didn't have the time to test supported version)
       - About any Photoshop 3.0 Plugin compatible applications

     If you're using an application that doesn't support the filters, please 
send a notice at krustyfx@krust.com.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* 4 - INFORMATIONS & TIPS *

     There's not much tips or instructions to give about Krusty's FX. I guess
the only suggestion I could give you is experiment & have fun. But just in case
here some few things you should know :

     Sometimes a blur or blur more after you applied the effect can enhance the
texture you just generated.

     Only one word about the Red/Green/Blue & Brightness Sliders. You will notice
that some filters have something like "C2 Red %" or even "C2 Brightness" sliders.
This means that these sliders can produce two colors.
 
            Ordinary Red % slider

            0%                  100%
            |-------<>-------------|



            A C2 Red % slider

                     slider
                     center
            100%       0%       100%
            |----------|---<>------|         This setting will only produce one 
              2 colors    1 color            Color
                                             (sliding to the right will accentuate
                                              the red level of the texture)
                     slider
                     center
            100%       0%       100%
            |---<>-----|-----------|         This setting will produce a two color 
              2 colors    1 color            texture.
              (colorB)    (colorA)           (sliding to the left will accentuate
                                              the level of colorB, to the right 
                                              the level of colorA)
                                 
            C2 Brightness sliders

            colorB <<      >> colorA
            |--------------<>------|         In 1 color mode the brightness will act
                                             as an ordinary brightness slider, but in
                                             2 colors mode it will accentuate one of the
                                             2 colors.

       And the "<H V> Offset" sliders (found in the N-x Generators) may be a bit confusing 
too. <H V> means that it's a two modes sliders, if you slide to left you will move the 
texture horizontally, to the right : vertically. ex:

           <H V> Offet

                     slider
                     center
            <<       >> <<        >>
            |---<>-----|-----------|         Will move the texture horizontally   
     move   horizontal |    vertical

* 5 - REDISTRIBUTION *

      These plugins are Freewares and cannot be sold for any reasons !!

      The only legal source of distribution is KRUST's web site (www.krust.com). 
You cannot redistribute these filter without asking a special version first, send 
email to krustyfx@krust.com. Read the License.txt file for more information.

FOR MORE INFORMATION PLEASE READ THE LICENSE AGREEMENT (LICENSE.TXT)


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* 6 - TROUBLESHOOTING *

      - I see the plugins but they are disabled !! what can I do ?

           * Are you in RGB color mode ? Krusty's FX only not work in RGB and will
             not work in grayscale,CMYK,LAB,Indexed,Etc..

      - The plugins doesn't work at all !

           * Are you using Windows 95/98 or NT ? I'm not sure these plugins work in
             Windows 3.1.

           * Make sure that you have installed the plugins in your Photoshop plugin
             directory and that your host application is correctly configured to
             locate this directory (read you manual).

           * If you get an error message when starting the host application, make sure
             that you have the file MSVCRT10.DLL in your WINDOWS/SYSTEM directory. If 
             you don't reinstall the plugins or get the MSVCRT10.DLL file on MICROSOFT's
             WEB or FTP site (www.microsoft.com) and put it in you SYSTEM directory.

      - The plugin dialogs are a way too big !!!

           * Krusty's FX use a font called IMPACT.TTF, if it's not correctly installed
             in your FONT directory the dialog box will use another font and could be
             too big. To install the font reinstall the filters (and click yes when you
             see a dialog box called Impact font) or try to execute the file Impact32.exe
             which should be found where you've installed the plugins.

      If you need more help, information or want to report a bug, write to krustyfx@krust.com

* 10 - HOW TO ADD KRUSTY'S FX IN PLUGIN MANAGER 1.0(b) *

  Plugin manager is a very useful utility to manage plugins, it allows you to 
  able/disable your photoshop plugins, it's nessecery because can't manage too
  many plugins installed together. Version 1.0b was a freeware but version 2.0
  is now a shareware. You can find it at : http://johann.simplenet.com/index.html

  Since I've already sent the Krusty's FX info to Michael Johannhanwahr, you only
  need to download the latest FILTERS.INI file (johann.simplenet.com) to use Krusty's
  filter in Plugin Manager, but if you down have an internet connection or do not
  want to download it, just add the following lines in your FILTERS.INI file :

  THIS ONLY APPLIES TO VERSION 1.0(b) (version 2.0 works without any changes)
