Installation

If you have not already done so, download the '2D Reflection Effects Gallery' from the download section.

Since PhotoImpact requires that the gallery file (2D Reflections.SMP) always be present once a gallery is loaded, you will need to extract the contents of the archive to a permanent location on your system.  If you have a PhotoImpact directory already created for plugins, etc. you might want to use that, otherwise I would suggest creating a 'My EasyPalette' directory in 'My Documents' and placing the gallery file there.  It really doesn't matter where you put the gallery file as long as it stays in that location from then on.

Now that you have the gallery file in place, run PhotoImpact and go the the EasyPalette Galleries tab.  From there click on the home icon and select the Gallery Manager/Load menu item as shown below in Figure 1.

This will bring up the Import Gallery dialog box.  Select the 2D Reflections.SMP file from the location where you placed the gallery file. Optionally, you can select the category of where you want the 2D Reflections gallery to be located in the EasyPalette (Figure 2).  I chose 'Tasks' because these effects are actually PhotoImpact tasks, however, you may want to choose 'My Gallery' instead.  This is really just a matter of personal taste.

Click Open to load the 2D Reflections gallery into the EasyPalette as shown in Figure 3.

Thats all there is to installation.  The 2D Reflection Effects will now always be available from the EasyPalette.
