CC Actions Compatibility with CS6

  • August 6, 2019

Generally speaking I believe actions should be able to run in either CC or CS6. However, I have purchased an action set created in CC that runs the ACR Filter. There is no ACR Filter in CS6 thus when the action is run and hits the ACR Filter call the action stops and gives the error message

"Could not complete the command because this version of Photoshop does not supply the services required by this plug-in module".

Does anyone know how to either install ACR Filter in CS6 or is there a way to make this run as is? I believe I know the answer to be it can't be done but I'm hoping there are wiser minds than mine.

Thank you!

Jim

    You can exclude step with ACR filter and action will play but final result may not be as expected, it depends what action is doing in ACR. To exclude step you must expand action. If you see error message just click Stop and Photoshop will highlight step with ACR filter. The next step is to click on triangle with confirmation sign on the left side of action step.

    Thanks Bojan, I've tried that already. When it runs I get the following error message. When I turn off the ACR call the action completes but it appears practically all of the effect is in the raw filter.

    Hi

    It's possible that the action is trying to run options that aren't available in the older version of ACR

    I've found this discussion, please take a look:

    CS6 - no Camera Raw plugin/filter

    It sees to me this is very simple. The action calls the ACR filter; the ACR filter wasn't available in CS6. That's really all there is to it.

    I have the latest Camera Raw installed already.

    No you don't, you have the latest version that will work with Photoshop CS6, which is pretty old.
