(in general the 2013 is installed but you need the 2015-2019 in 64-bit)

If not, install via this link:

Launch PhotoFiltre 11 to see if no error message is displayed (dll missing for example).
If everything is ok, when opening an image, you should have the list of all supported formats.
You will notice the native support for raw, hdr, webp, jpeg2000, ...

Plugins and 8bf compatibility

8BF filters in 64-bit

They must be placed in the [8bf_64] folder.
Usually the filename should contain "64" somewhere.
They are accessible with the command [8BF > Filter]

8BF filters in 32-bit

They must be placed in the [8bf] folder.
These plugins are then accessible with the command [Filter > PhotoBridge*] (in PhotoFiltre 11).
(you can configure the folder containing these filters)

Plugins in 64-bit

These are the native plugins for PhotoFiltre 11. They must be placed in the [Plugins_64] folder.
Usually the file name should end with "_64.pfl".
Depending on the type of plugin, they are accessible with the menu Filter, Image, File and Tools.

Plugins in 32-bit

These are the old 32-bit plugins from PhotoFiltre Studio. They must be placed in the [Plugins] folder.
These plugins are then accessible with the command [Filter > PhotoBridge*] (in PhotoFiltre 11).
Import type plugins are not supported, nor plugins that are too "specific".

(*) PhotoBridge
This application is developed in 32-bits to guarantee the compatibility of plugins and 8bf in 32-bit.
It is located in the [Plugins] folder and serves as a bridge between PhotoFiltre 11 and 32-bit libraries.

Shell extension

Do not use in portable mode (USB, external disk, ...) because it requires a static installation on your PC disk !

Digitize images / Twain
You must use an external 32-bit software because there are few Twain 64-bit drivers (this standard being abandoned by Windows 10)
If you have manufacturer software you can use it directly, otherwise here are 2 free software:

- EsayScan (Follow the tutorial proposed by Tom): http://jptom.free.fr/PageTuto/Param_Sca ... oogle.html
