4/24/2023 0 Comments Flexify 2 guide![]() There are many things you, as an artist, can do to spice up your tessellation: morphs, removing a single tile, having tiles interact with the remainder of the picture, and bending your tessellation's construction lines. Bending the perspective without something like Flexify 2 is haaaaard work. With Flexify 2 it's only a moment's work. On this page you'll find a slideshow of about 20 tessellation pictures to which I've applied random fun Flexify 2 filters. The original picture I've kept as a background the filtered picture with an outline and shadow is in the foreground. The initial artwork is tessellations done by Ms. Sorrentino's 4 th grade geometry class, Hawthorne Elementary School, Elmhurst, Illinois in 2013. Have a look at how Flexify 2 makes each picture more interesting. Is Flexify 2 a perfect program? No, but it's close. There are at least two things I would've liked to see. Perhaps those features will be in a future version. One thing I'd like to see is better installation instructions. The installation instructions available on are a bit vague, generalized for ANY PhotoShop plug-in or filter, and don't explain what error messages you might expect at start-up if you're using a 32 bit version of PhotoShop. That's all something I can fix right here, for the Windows PhotoShop users who're reading this review. Here we go: After A) downloading Flexify 2as a ZIP file from /flexify.html, you'll B) unpack the ZIP file by right-clicking on it and choosing "extract". This extraction will create a folder called "Flexify 2". C) Right-click on that folder and choose "copy", not "cut". D) Use Windows Explorer to find the right folder in which to place your copy of the "Flexify 2" folder. The folder we're looking for is probably on your C: drive, in a folder called "program files", in a subfolder called "adobe", in a subfolder of that called "Adobe Photoshop (version number)", in a sub-folder of that called "Plug-Ins". ![]() If the "plug-Ins" folder has a subfolder called "Filters", then go into that. Wherever you are now, let's call this the "destination folder". E) Paste the entire copy of the folder "Flexify 2" into that folder. FLEXIFY SHOWS PDFį) Go into the new "Flexify 2" folder and right-click on the help document (a PDF file). From the pop-up menu choose "send to.", and from that submenu choose "send to the desktop as a shortcut". This will make the Flexify 2 help menu easy to find: just a mouseclick away from your desktop. ![]() However, if you're using the 32-bit version of Photoshop, then you'll see this error message when you start up Photoshop:Įrror message you may see after installing Flexify 2 in 32 bit Photoshop: G) In an ideal world, that would be the end of that. "The application or DLL C:\Program Files\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Plug-ins\Flexify-275 64bit.8bf is not a valid Windows image.
