    Hi,

    Which version of photoshop and operating system are you using?

    Which version of Filter Forge do you have?

    Go into the Filter Forge application folder

    /Applications/Filter Forge 4

    and copy the

    Filter Forge 4 universal x86.plugin

    to

    /Applications/Adobe Photoshop CC 2017/Plug-ins

    Don't copy any of the actual files from the Filter Forge folder into the "Adobe Photoshop CC 2017/Plug-ins" folder. Instead, create an alias of the "Filter Forge 4 universal x86.plugin" plugin, and place it in the "Adobe Photoshop CC 2017/Plug-ins" folder. (Hold down Command-Option while you drag the "Filter Forge 4 universal x86.plugin" file to create an alias of it).


    Thank you — three years later, using Adobe Photoshop 2021, I stumbled upon the very same issue and was getting all sorts of errors from Filter Forge 9 (and the beta version of 10).

    Creating an alias, as opposed to copying/moving the 'universal plugin', did the trick!
