Question

Install a plugin for PS 2024

So, I went to the free downloads page for Photo Shop 2024.

Clicked and downloaded a few.

They are zip files in my windows Downloads folder.

How to I put these files in my plugins folder so I can use them in PS ?

 

Thanks,

-Bill-

      It depends on the plug in. Some are javascripts other works integrated to some feature

       

      To intall the plugins it is way better to do it with the cloud app where you can install and activate.

      If they are provided by third party editors first of all unzip and check if there is a readme file explaining how it works. Also on the plugin page generally it is also explained.

      I will go to the cloud page and try that, I'm guessing it will instal the plugin and it will always be selectable in Photoshop ?

      Have you tried following the steps outlined in this Adobe Help article?

      Optional Photoshop plug-ins (adobe.com)

      From which page, or rather, which site did you download it? Have you attempted to unzip the files and look for installation instructions among them or on the download page?

      I just clicked on the tab to get actions on the Photo Shop 2024 program I have.

      Then Plugins, then hit the Browse Plugins and down loaded some.

      They are all zip files and when I double click then it is a ABR file. Example...Reflections.ABR

      .

      In the old Photoshop I had, you could down load a plugin and put it in the folder in your photoshop, C drive before.

      in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

      p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

        I did, LOL.

        And right, very hard to navigate and find where best to post, at least for me.

        And thanks all for moving to a better spot.

        Thanks kglad.
