To install a plug-in module
In Mac OS, you cannot run Photoshop in the Classic environment. Plug-ins originally intended to work on Mac OS 9
won’t appear.
❖ Do one of the following:
• To install an Adobe Systems plug-in module, use the plug-in installer, if provided. You can also (Windows) install
copy the module into the appropriate Plug-ins folder in the Photoshop program folder, or (Mac OS) drag a copy
of the module to the appropriate Plug-ins folder in the Photoshop program folder. Make sure that the files are
uncompressed.
• To install a third-party plug-in module, follow the installation instructions that came with the plug-in module. If
you cannot run a third-party plug-in, it may require a legacy Photoshop serial number.
Note: If youwanttouse aplug-in only in PhotoshoporonlyinImageReady, or when aplug-in is compatible with only
one of the applications, you can install the plug-in inside the Plug-ins folder in either the Adobe Photoshop Only folder
or the Adobe ImageReady Only folder.
To specify a legacy serial number
1 Do one of the following:
• (Windows) Choose Edit > Preferences > Plug-ins & Scratch Disk.
• (Mac OS) Choose Photoshop > Preferences > Plug-ins & Scratch Disk.
2 Enter the serial number from Photoshop CS or earlier in the Legacy Photoshop Serial Number text box.
To select an additional plug-ins folder
1 Do one of the following:
• (Photoshop) Choose Edit > Preferences > Plug-ins & Scratch Disk (Windows) or choose Photoshop >
Preferences > Plug-ins & Scratch Disk (Mac OS).
• (ImageReady) Choose Edit > Preferences > Plug-ins (Windows) or choose ImageReady > Preferences > Plug-ins
(Mac OS).
2 Select Additional Plug-ins Folder.
3 Click Choose, and select a folder or directory from the list. Make sure that you do not select a location inside the
Plug-ins folder. To display the contents of a folder, double-click the directory (Windows) or click Open (Mac OS).
4 When you have highlighted the additional plug-ins folder, click OK (Windows) or Choose (Mac OS).
5 Restart Photoshop or ImageReady for the plug-ins to take effect.
To suppress the loading of plug-ins
❖ Add a tilde ~ character at the beginning of the plug-in name, folder, or directory. That file (or all files in the folder)
will be ignored by the application.
