Dont quote me on this, but I dont really think it matters if you use ATI or Nvidia graphics card. The Nvidia photoshop plug-in is just that- no matter what card you use.

I use the plug-in mentioned in Linkers tute and it works surprisingly well.

LS also said that in his tutorial... but didn't mention where to get it.. so i'm assuming it comes with NVdia cards... so is there a link i can download?

btw, thanks atstwalker.. will try that one too

Read Point 1 of the tutorial mate

Nvidia plug-in

ATI plug-in

So, it looks like it does matter if you own an Nvidea or ATI card
