pweffect and pwghost

O.K. Thanks for the reminder, Richard. It's been a long time since I have needed to check that file. Here is the end part:

I presume the highlighted part is the relevant part. Not sure where to go from here. I've double-checked to ensure that pwEffect.sdl and pwEffectDisplace.sdl are where they should be (My Library/Shaders). I've also put them in a few places where they probably shouldn't be (My Library/Shaders/pwEffect_DS4 and My Library/Shader Presets).

That isn't the correct place - the .sdl files should have been isntalled to the Shaders folder in the application folder(s).

Thank you many times over, Richard. I should have worked that out but I'm getting on in years.

This thread was very helpful. Thank you all.
