Photoshop Elements 2024 problem with Exposure Software plug-ins

I have Photoshop Elements 2024 installed on my home computer. I also have the recent version of Exposure 7 bundle upgrade installed (Exposure Software: Snap Art 4, Blowup 3, Exposure X3). All was well, until recently where now I get an non-descript error message within Photoshop Elements when I attempt to use any of the Exposure Software plug-ins.

 

I contacted Exposure Software about this issue. Their response was that Photoshop Elements "is not an officially supported host program," but didn't indicate where the problem lies, either with Photoshop or their Exposure software. I can't figure out how to make both apps compatible again.

 

Please advise. Thank you.

I just downloaded the free trial and it works fine in Elements 2024.  However, when I installed it, it was installed into Elements 2022:

 

I therefore copied the Exposure Software folder to the following directory:

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 2024\Plug-Ins\

    IMO, it's up to the plug-in publisher to determine compatibility with the host program.  In my experience, most photoshop plug-ins work with Elements.  I'm not familiar with the Exposure 7 plug-ins and your description of the problem is itself non-descript.  Can you show us a screenshot of the error you are getting?

     

    Also, if you go to Help>System Info . .  and scroll down to the bottom of the dialog, does the Exposure plug-in show up as Failed to Load?
