Installing flaming pear flood plugin with PS 2026

The Flood 2 plugin works here under macOS Tahoe 26.5.1 with an M4 chip and Photoshop 2026 (ps ver 27.7)

First I downloaded the trial version from here:

http://www.flamingpear.com/free-trials.html

Then opened the flood-mac-latest.dmg and dragged the Flood 2 folder to

Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CC

I downloaded the trial version, and it works with Photoshop version 27.7 on Windows 11, you do get this error message when you open Photoshop, but the filter still works

In the Flood 2 folder there’s a 32 bit 8BF and 64 bit 8BF file

Even Flood 2 is a very old plugin, possibly still 32 bits. Their website talks about ‘Photoshop 2018 or later’ and does not seem to be updated since then. 32 bits software won’t run on your computer.

What operating system are you using?

If it’s a macOS, is it Apple Silicon or Intel?

Have you checked with the makers of the plugin whether there is an available version that’s compatible with Photoshop 2026?
