Wikipedia is not an instruction manual. Especially not for obsolete software. Article was prodded, but tag was removed. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Creating filters in photoshop 5.5--the text in Filter Factory was copied from Creating filters in photoshop 5.5. --Akhilleus (talk) 18:18, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached

- Transwiki to Wikibooks. It is a how-to article and most of the sources are how-to in nature as well. So, I think the content is better suited to Wikibooks.--Kubigula (talk) 22:08, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
