Are you trying to use Photoshop's own plugins (i.e., those included
with Photoshop) with GIMP? As far as I know, those can't be used by
third-party Photoshop plugin hosts (like for instance GIMP).

BTW, the acronym "PSP" usually stands for PaintShopPro, not
Photoshop. Are you confusing these two programs?

Copy the Photoshop plugins (the .8bf files) you would like to use in
GIMP one by one into a new folder, which you have told GIMP to
use. Test each one after copying it. Don't blindly point GIMP to a
bunch of Photoshop plugins.
