Sorry, my initial question wasn't answered yet ... Does anyone know where I can download the FXG Extension for Photoshop CS5 (or later) that is mentioned here [1]? The Flash Catalyst site [2] does not provide this link anymore. Did anyone have downloaded it in the past and can share the link with us? Boosting my Photoshop CS5.5 with that FXG Extension would be a real timesaver.
Thank you!
