included filters.

The first number indicates the time in miliseconds that was needed to calculate
the effect. The second number is the maximum number of frames per second that yo
ur processor can render at the current zoom level. Finally, the third number is
the estmated time that it would need to render the effect to the image.

If it is activated it will display the effect while you drag a slider. If the re

of random slider settings. While the animation plays you can use the other contr

on, click on the same button again. The Play button is a nice way to see what ef
fects a filter can produce and a big help for finding an fitting effect. If you
have a slow computer, try decreasing the zoom to make the animation run more smo

The two combo boxes left of the Play button let you influence the animation. The
f/s combo box lets you choose the number of frames per second that are displaye

Several preset files are already delivered with Harry's Filters. The 10 byte lar
ge preset files from Version 2.0 of Harry's Filters are still supported, but som
