My favorite plugins are SKINTUNE by Phototune and iCorrect Portrait -- both are used used to give almost perfect skintones to my portraits and people-pix.

With all the good reports about Virtual Photographer I decided to try it.

I put the optikvervelabs folder into Adobe>Adobe Photoshop CS2>Plugins>Filters and opened a photo using CS2.

In the filters drop down optikvervelabs is there but not active.

Any suggestions .

The optikvervelabs folder contains 2 VPH files, text file and the plug in.

The computer is running XP home edition.:cry:

Just to confirm you closed and then re-opened PS CS2? It will not recognize plug-ins except when the program opens. If that's not it no help here.

Others, please correct me if i'm wrong, but I found out optikvervelabs option only becomes enabled when i load a jpeg. It remains disabled if i open a TIFF or PSD. :( Any clue?

If you put the picture to 8-bit you can use them 16bit + tiff - dont work.
