Install plugin on Elements 2025

Hi.

Is there any way of installing plugins e.g Topaz Photo Ai etc in Elements 2025.

I have tried through the settings,preferences and this will not work and i have also tried navigating to Applications then highlighting Topaz AI and opening up and copying the file and pasting into the Elements plugins folder but thi still doesn't work and i get the dialogue box that the plugin is broken even though all works fine in another application and as a stand alone on my Mac. 

I'm not sure if the option of installing other plugins into Elements is now available but i am sure i have been able to use them in previous versions.

Any help will be gratefully appreciated

Hi Greg thanks for the reply and advice. 

I have now managed to get my Plugins installed and all are working perfectly it was a case of me forgetting the process of copying the Plugin files in each App and then pasting into the Elements Plugins folder. Simple when you suddenly remember.

Kind regards Adrian

Glad you now have them working, (although I am still having issues with an older version of Topaz SharpenAI).

Yes, plug-ins can be installed in Elements 2025.  I have just copied over all my plug-ins from Elements 2024 to 2025 and they all work, including a couple of old Topaz plug-ins. 

However, Topaz is always a little difficult with installing plug-ins into Windows installations.  I know nothing about Macs.  So I suggest you use the installer that came with the plugin.  You may also want to contact Topaz support to see if they have any comments for you or whether they have an updated installer.
