Since I'm self-taught, I'm kinda ignorant of a lot of features in photoshop. I just dicovered "plug-in's" and downloaded a few but I don't know how to actually use them. I've saved them to the "plug-in" folder in photoshop but how do you actually apply these downloaded effects to an image in photoshop?

Any advise would be greatly appreciated

go to your filters Panel it should be there.

HEY!! There it is!
Thanks Starman

No problem mate.

plug in?

Just seen your my space page !!good to see your a old school nirvana fan like me : ) love your photo of your kid with the little nirvana shirt, i gotta get a nirvana shirt for my daughter!she's only 3 and she love nirvana lol and she headbangs to slipknot and just got a little motorhead vest for my 5 month old son!!!im starting them of early

HaHa! That T-shirt was a lucky find.
I've met Kurt, Dave and Chris when I was 15 and have been to their homes. My first concert ever was Nirvana/Helmet/Fitz of Depression when I was 13. I'm a fan of many bands but few have had the effect on me that Nirvana had. It's good to hear from another fan

would have loved to meet kurt !! Ive spoke to dave once at a hotel in sydney but i was on acid at the time so it could have been anyone LOL

LOL!
Kurt was very nice. I met him at an impromtu benefit concert in Seattle that Nirvana just showed up to out of nowhere to play. They had just finished recording In Utero so I got to hear them play most of the album and they did covers of Led Zepplin's "No Quarter" and Terry Jacks "Seasons In The Sun". Kurt was bumming my friend and I cigarettes and hung out with us the whole night (which was funny because we were 15 and had snuck backstage - lol). He was a very down-to-earth guy. He drove an old Volvo 240 with bald tires - LOL!
