Well, I was going to cover those issues in a fuller review, since I'm 
not the vendor, nor do I, in ANY way, represent them..

The filters work natively ONLY on RGB images..

Although one can convert to RGB, appply them and return to Greyscale, 
etc, the downside is that running them in RGB greatly increases the 
necessary memory...

If you want to do a quick download, I'd suggest the Buzz Lite 2.0 
download, as I find myself using combinations of their "Simplifier One" 
and "Edges Mono" filters most often..
