Does the plugin have an installation file?

I now believe that my 2026 Elements is defective.   There are at least 3 faults compared to previous versions that I have.

Adobe prefers you put the plugins/filters into

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 26

 

You can also put the plugis/filters into

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 2026\Plug-Ins

 

The preference (Edit>Preferences>Plug-Ins) to point to a plug-in folder from within the Photoshop Elements 2026 Editor doesn't seem to work on either the Windows or Mac side.

Put the files here, nothing else like exe files or zip files:

C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\26.0\Plugins
