Vertus Fluid Mask 3.2 and PhotoLine 16.52

[OldRadioGuy]

I purchased the Vertus Fluid Mask 3.2 8bf plugin a few weeks ago to use with PhotoLine 16.x. When I made the purchase I had concluded FM had both a 32-bit and 64-bit filter based on claims on their website. However, I found the plugin did not appear in the filter menu of PL 16.52 64-bit.

A little digging around revealed there's only a 32-bit version of the plugin.

At the Vertus website their FAQ says:

"Fluid Mask 3.2 will run as a plugin with 64-bit Photoshop.
Fluid Mask 3 remains a natively 32-bit application, compatible with all 64-bit versions of Windows and Macintosh computers. By saving the plugin files into the appropriate Adobe Photoshop Plugin folder, Fluid Mask 3.2 or higher will interact with both 32-bit and 64-bit Photoshop Versions. You will be able to have the plugin work for both versions of Photoshop (32-bit and 64-bit) simultaneously if you have both versions installed side-by-side."

Which is OK with me because I can -- and do -- use it in PL 32.

Hopefully, for those of you running in the Macintosh environment, it will run in PL 64.

I have to retract the statement about Fluid Mask 3.2 working in PhotoLine 16.52 32-bit. I must have mixed up my test notes (I tried it in four applications).

The Vertus Fluid Mask 3.2 will not run in PhotoLine 16.52 32 or 64. It shows up on the 32 menu but nothing happens.

I tested Fluid Mask right now.
It works fine here. I got a 32 Bit version only, so you have to start 32 Bit PhotoLine. It will work on layers with transparency only.
