I haven't downloaded any PS filters or plugins for years...until the other day when I needed one similiar to one in Corel Paint. This comes at the right time.
I do have a question. Is there a way to take filters from Corel Paint and put in the PS plugin/filter folder?

Go into the Corel plug in folder using Windows Exploiter, right click the file and hit "Copy"
Browse into the PS Plug-in folder, right click and hit "Paste". The plugin should appear in photoshop's menu provided it's compatible with PS or the specific version of PS (not all filters are compatible with all versions)

If you have too many plugins there, adding more will not load.. Photoshop has a limit.

I have a separate folder I called "all plugins" which sits in c:\Program Files\
I put them in there, rather than the c:\adobe\Photoshop\plugins folder.
You can then set up Photoshop under Edit>Preferences>Plugins & Scratch discs to go looking in the new plug-ins folder for the extra ones.
You can have too many! They are all loaded on startup, and like fonts, they weigh the system down after a while. When you first load them, try them out & delete or move to another folder the ones you don't think you'll have an immediate need for.
You ought to be able to direct other programs to look in that folder too, for extra plug-ins.
