Our first set of plugins were called 'Andrew's Filters' and we developed using the old Filter Factory plugin that came with Photoshop. Nozzles were released in a set called 'Nozzle Magic' - released on CD - wow - long time since releasing anything on CDs. The frames were a key product at the time and many 1000s of frames were produced, for my company as well as for use in third party products. The frames are no longer available, mainly as support for the various formats became tricky. The filter factory 'Andrew's Filters' are also not available now, as the format for the plugin is out of date and the sites that used to store the plugins are, sadly, no longer around. The nozzles etc were all released back when I was on AOL and abex01. Sapphire-innovations.com was started back in 1998 and many new products were added such as presets for Photoshop as well as Paint Shop Pro. With Illustrator 8, added my first sets of plugins for Illustrator - they have grown to 26 volumes of plugins. Sapphire innovations is no longer around but all the products produced then are now on graphicxtras.com, either in separate volumes or as in most cases, as part of the collection sets. Since 2002, added many new products to the site - now about 900 sets of different designs, all including 100 or so different items in each set.

I would like to get the products by file link? On purchase you receive the download link to the file set. There is no physical option via our site for our products
Discounts? Yes, they can be obtained for use via the shareit links
I would like to see more demos, how? I am regularly updating the demos, please let me know if there is a particular demo or sampler you would like to see
Will nozzles work in Photoshop? No. RIFF files are supported in Corel products now so you should be able to import the designs and then change the format from the Painter RIFF format to TUB or CPT for a spray in Corel Photo-Paint
Compatibility? Please check the demos with your products or if you can't see one, please contact us. Most of the items should be fine in most versions of the main application but resources such as frames are tempermental in some plug-ins and certain versions of operating systems. Please check the samplers to make sure they work with your plug-in or main tool.
Plugin-ins ? Illustrator plug-ins, PC MAC OSX. Photoshop plug-ins, PC only. There are no MAC versions (nor will there be)
Replacement disks? Please contact us and we will send a replacement CD at a nominal cost
CS3? Yes, they should. There are always the samplers, etc, please check them out. The only issue you might find with all the increased security, it is a little trickier to install the items as the items have to be placed generally in the software folder, so you might be prompted multiple times to agree to install the items
CS4 CS5? Yes. All the products that worked with CS3 now work in CS4 CS5 such as the Illustrator plug-ins.
What has happened to sapphire-innovations.com? Everything that was on sapphire-innovations.com is now on graphicxtras.com. Sapphire-Innovations.com exists but It is nothing to do with me (it is a plugin list site or something)
Unusual e-mail ? I have just received an executable or zip or something from graphicxtras.com or abex01.is it real?? No, in all likelihood.we never send out zips or exes unless details have been sent beforehand. The e-mail is likely just a harvested / spoofed e-mail, sadly the web is now full of e-mails allegedly from legit companies but clearly not.same with graphicxtras e-mails. I get as many as the next of mails alleged to be from myself claiming to be support or admin or something, just delete them unless they are relevant. Also, there are other sites using graphicxtras.com as a sub domain, they are not connected but for some reason, using the links.
The tubes work in PSP 5?? No, the tubes collections and tubes pages on the graphicxtras.com site only work in PSP 7 / 8 etc and not earlier.
How can I load the shapes / brushes quickly..? Use the load replace commands in the various palettes. Open the shapes via the preset manager or the file manager. The brushes are not generally accessible via the file > open command so the best way to access the brushes is via the brushes palette itself and the load / replace commands. You can load many brushes and shapes but not all 12,000+ designs Brushes / shapes are cross platform? Yes, the brushes, custom shapes, styles etc for Photoshop are for both platforms and require no changes to the file. This is not the case for some resources for certain software.
I haven't received my download filelink - where is it ? Please contact shareit.com and request a new download link. Please note that the file link might have been placed in a blocked mail folder / junk mail folder as that often happens (too often with my mail!). Also some hosts block our mail so if you haven't received the file link, please also send a new or different mail address if that is possible and we will use that as well to send the file.
I have bought your plugins, how can I get an update ? Please contact us with the serial number or purchase details and I will try and send the update (by a variety of means)
Loading plug-ins into CS4 / CS5 - how to resolve issues with file conflicts ? If you load all the plugins included in the set then you will have also have added the CS3 CS2 etc plugins and therefore you will end up with possible duplicates of the plugins. Please remove all the plugins and only leave the ones designated for use in CS4 or CS5
Found EPS files in my zip, what are they for? They are vector designs in the same way as shapes and symbols, generally the EPS files are of a same theme or match the actual set. The EPS files are for many software. Open the EPS files via the file > open command or the file > import / place command. Some software will not accept the EPS format and they may have to be converted to a later version of EPS file - so download a file conversion tool to convert the EPS files to a different format such as SWF or WMF (for Word)
EPS designs - they are black only - how can I recolor them ? The EPS designs have no color. Color them using the various color commands such as layer > layer style > color overlay in Photoshop. Not all software can re-color the EPS shapes so you might find it easier to convert them using a conversion application. Convert the EPS files to a raster format such as PNG or JPG and then re-color that design. As layers, the EPS designs are flexible - warp, distort, modify points, drag segments and much more - they are a great starting point for countless designs. I would suggest checking the web for tutorials on eps designs and how to use them in Photoshop, etc
Can I resell your items? No, the license does not allow that. You can change the items and then create new tools from them and sell those. No problem with that at all. Of course, you can resell them if you completely sell the item and remove all references to the product off your own machine.
Can I get the link re-sent? Yes, please send us the order details etc and I will try and re-send the link. I would suggest once you have purchased and received the item, please make a backup of the item and store safely (hard disk failures, etc) do happen and the DVD / CD is always a quick way to restore the item
Winzip? How to unzip files? You should not need winzip to unzip the files on a PC, Vista / Windows 7 should be able to unzip zip files. Likewise on the mac. If you need an unzip application, there are many software available: a quick search on a search engine should display many links to unzip software such as PKunzip as well as Stuffit Expander
