AmphiSoft is fully compatible with various image editors, like Adobe Photoshop, Macromedia Fireworks, JASC, Corel and Ulead image editors, and numerous freeware like IrfanView and XnView. The plug-in works with 8bit per channel and 16bit per channel RGB images.

The latest version 1.1 has improved rendering and a scaleable dialog window. It costs US$29.
