All AKVIS plug-ins are compatible with PaintShop Pro (except Magnifier that works only with Photoshop). See the compatibility page.

Select the Plug-ins item in the left part of the opened dialog box File Locations.

Then browse to find the plugin's folder. For example, to add the AKVIS plugins to PaintShop Pro select the folder AKVIS in the programs list: C:Program FilesAKVIS.
And press OK.
The option Use sub folders must be checked. Then all sub-folders (for all plugins by AKVIS) will be used by PaintShop Pro. Now whenever you install a new plugin by AKVIS on your computer, it will be added to the Corel program automatically.
Now go to the menu Effects to look for the installed plug-ins:
Effects -> Plugins -> AKVIS…
Here you can find some PaintShop Pro compatible plug-ins.
