Hi all, I have down loaded some zip files - put then in a folder in desktop, most of the files I have managed to open - but the files with .8bf file extension. I have nothing to open them with. What Adobe Product do I require to do this.

What are the files supposed to contain?

.8bf is a Windows format and the files may be Plug-ins from Corel Paint.

From Wikipedia:

8BF, sometimes known as a Photoshop plugin, is a file format for plugins used by many raster graphics editors including Adobe Photoshop, Helicon Filter and Corel Paint Shop Pro. 8BF files can be opened with these programs and act like mini-editors which can modify images for use in the parent program.

Hi, yes it's some down loads from Corel Pain Shop Pro. Forum.I have tried to open them in PSP but it says NO. so thought I might need some thing else.

You don't usually "open" plugin files. You install them in the program you want to use them in.

They may be old plug-ins and only work with a much earlier version of Photoshop (version 7 perhaps?) if they work with Photoshop at all.

But perhaps they were intended to work only with Corel Paintshop.
