File Extension 8BF

File type: Plug-in Filter

The 8BF file type is primarily associated with 'Photoshop' by Adobe Systems Incorporated. Photoshop filters and plug-ins date to the early 90s. Early Photoshop filter sets included KPT Power Tools, Aldus Gallery Effects, and others. Since then, Photoshop filters have increased in numbers, and there are now thousands available. A variety of different filter plug-in effects exist. A plug-in can take many different forms: image processing, text, file formats, selections, production filters, automation and more, but the most common is probably the special effect. While designed to work with Photoshop there are a number of other graphic programs that accept and use the Photoshop plug-in files (e.g., Paint Shop Pro, PhotoImpact, Photo-Paint, Fireworks and Photoshop Elements among others). There are many programs designed to produce filters and plug-ins and many collections of such; perhaps the most famous being the Filter Factory.

When windows gives you an error message saying that it
"Cannot open 8BF files", this means either:

A. You need to identify a program that can open the file
B. Or your registry may be damaged

In both cases it is strongly recommended that you
run a free scan for registry errors.
