    Windows, but I think I figured it out.

    All I did is add the EC directory as a plug-in directory.

    I haven't tried it yet but at least I have the ability to choose an EC filter whereas before I didn't.

    Thanks for the response, I think I'm fixed.

    Seems this is only a demo version, because I only have access to three things, jiggle isn't one of them.

    I clicked on your link out of curiosity and got:

    Hmmm...I tried a bit ago (~90 minutes previous to this post) and it worked just fine.

    I tried reinstalling but no luck.

    Thanks for trying.

    As an alternative to the jiggle filter, try the ripple filter followed by the ocean ripple filter - the results are similar to jiggle and the filters are native to photoshop.

    Thanks for an amazing tutorial! Once the basic principle is down, the whole process becomes very intuitive and flexible, it's great.

    If you don't have access to the photoshop filters, I found it easiest to create a greyscale rippled / ocean rippled / blurred area, push it to 100% contrast and then select the white or black part - this gives you a bit of flexibility with where the edges of things are as well.

    For the rivers, if you use a path with "simulate pressure" and make the path much longer than necessary you end up with a nice tapering effect (for those of us without a tablet).

    Edit: A couple more variations - using clouds and an overlay colour has worked better for me than using a texture for the final 'binding' layer
