It runs differently to other programs in that you get to create your own filters. If you're unfamiliar with Filter Forge, it's a filter plugin for Photoshop or PaintShop Pro. It seems a little odd to have to reissue a key, but it means that should there be an upgrade, you will get it with the new key and you don't have to pay for that. To get the program by subscription, you pay quarterly at $49 and a new licence key is issued each time. The previous options to buy Filter Forge are still available in the Basic, Standard and Professional editions and now there are two extra Professional Plus and Professional by Subscription options.įilter Forge 5.0 Basic costs $149 (approx £102), Standard $249 (approx £1710) and Professional $399 (approx £275) while the Professional Plus will cost you $828 (approx £570). In this full review of Filter Forge 5.0, we'll see if the product and community are just as compelling today as they were back then. The full flexibility, inviting forum boards and enticing rewards scheme were some of the things that interested us back in April 2011. It's been nearly five years since we visited Filter Forge 2.0 and a lot has changed in that time with even more user friendly adjustments such as Pixel Awareness, Map Switch, Randomisation Enhancements and a new Modulo component to name just a few.
