DESCRIPTION:

This plugin performs image distortions using mouse strokes. 


INSTALLATION:

Simply unzip "pinocchio.zip" and copy "pinocchio.8bf" to your "\Photoshop\Plug-Ins\" folder, or whichever plugin folder your host program uses. Load your program, open an image, go to the plugins menu and select the plugin.


64-BIT SYSTEMS:

If you are using Photoshop CS4 or CS5 on a 64-bit edition of Windows (XP, Vista or 7), then there are two editions of Photoshop installed on your computer: a 32-bit edition and a 64-bit edition. Pinocchio will run on the 32-bit Photoshop edition.

Please copy "pinocchio.8bf" to the 32-bit Plug-ins folder. Its default location is: 
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 or CS4\Plug-Ins. 
The (x86) part is important!

To use Pinocchio, make sure you are running the 32-bit version of Photoshop! The default location is:

Again, the (x86) part is important.
