Hi,

I have been installing the SmartCurve plugin which I used on PSE11 with no problems, but now I'm using pse 15 and 2024 I find it does not work, when I open the plugin on the filter menu it crashes and shuts down pse.

I use this plugin to make graphics for social media (Dreamwidth) and would like to find a solution

Crash or freeze

As Stephan has suggested, I also suspect that SmartCurve is a 32-bit plug-in that was published about 15 years ago. You may be able to find a utility that bridges the plug-in for use in a 64-bit program like Elements 2024. But many users recommend Elements Plus, a cheap add-on that includes a Curves function for Elements.

As you can see here :

The 64bit version is still in development and not working.

There is no solution for this issue since ~10 years.

The only way to get this working is to use a 32bit Version of Photoshop elements and take the 32bit version of the plugin, but as far as I can remember

PSE 15 is 64bit only.

Put the 8bf file in the filters folder.

If it still does not work / locks up that probably means the plug- in is no longer compatible-- but 8bf files are pretty standard.
