I have to install the Plug-in XRiteColorCheckerPassport and i should put it in   User Name > Library > Application Support > Adobe > Lightroom > Modules  but i can't find the Modules folder

I put the plugin in   Machintosh HD > Applications > Lightroom > (show package content) > Contents > Plugin

In Lightroom in plugin manager it shows up but when i try to export a new color profile with ColorCheckerPassport it says "Can not create profile. An unknown error occurred."

Put it in User Name > Library > Application Support > Adobe > Lightroom > Plugins. If the folder doesn't exist then just create it and put the xrite p..-in into same

Do NOT try to install it into the application package!

I put the plugin where you said (i had to create the Plugins folder because it didn't exist) but it doesn't show anymore in Lightroom and i can't export with it

Thanks but when i search the plugin to add, i can't find it because the library folder is invisible. How can i add it to the plugin manager?


Make the User Library visible using instructions in Access hidden Mac OS library files

Method 3 in above is probably best solution as it makes User Library permanently visible.
