I use Paint Shop Pro, but for plug-ins I have to rely on the NVidia versions for Photoshop since PSP doesn't have anything comparable. That's fine, I can live with that. Anyway I decided to try my hand at making "a" bump map. . .can't do that with PSP, gotta have GIMP, so I install the latest GIMP. . . .and you'll also need "ImageMagick". . .installed that. Back to GIMP, gotta download the "normal Map" plugin. . .okie dokie. . .got it. 5 files in that download, 3dll's, the "normal map.exe" and a readme. Readme says place the normalmap.exe file in the Plugins folder and extract the 3dll files to your "bin" folder. Nothing said about the 3dll files I already have in the unzipped download. . .soooo I run the executable and immediately start getting messages that this file and that file are not in my system . . .can't continue.
After 4 of those messages (and no end in sight) I have put this on hold. Yea, I really don't need a bump map this bad, lol
