Urgent need for photoshop version 22.1.2 to use a 3rd party plug-in on M1 chip Mac

Great karma for anyone who might have saved & be willing to share an install copy of desktop photoshop  v 22.1.2 that I nesd to run a third party plug-in on an M1Mac.  While Adobe does allow the downloading of older photoshop versions the oldest that Adobe can offer me is PS v. 22.2, which unfortunately is incompatable with the plug-in. I spoken with Adobe and they can't give me the verion i require. But, maybe you can if you've saved the older photoshop install copies. Thanks for your help.

    Correct answer Jeff Arola

    It says here that

    https://www.knowhowtransfer.com/store/trials/

     

    Compatibility: all plugins

    Operating Systems
    WIN: 7 to 11, 64bit only.
    MAC: Sierra to Ventura.

    Photoshop Versions
    WIN: Photoshop CC2015.5 to CC2023 (PS24).
    MAC Intel: Photoshop CC2015.5 to CC2023 (PS24).
    MAC M1, M2 natively: up to Photoshop 22.1.2
    MAC M1, M2 with Rosetta: Photoshop CC2021 to CC2023 (PS24).
    See how to Install and Activate Rosetta

     

    It's a really confusing website trying to find the plugins let alone the system requirements.

    However, i did download the trial version of Wow! Frequency Equilizer 2 and i can not

    get it to run a 2022 Mac Studio with MacOS Ventura 13.4.1 running photoshop 2022 or

    2023 under Rosetta or photoshop 2021 (22.2), which is an Intel application, so it's not at

    all clear, at least to me, from their website what works on what.

    In case you don't know how to run photoshop 2023 under Rosetta:

     

     Run photoshop under Rosetta

    by going to

    Applications/Adobe Photoshop 2023

    right clicking on the

    Adobe Photoshop 2023.app

    then Get Info, check Open using Rosetta

    Hi @Jeff Arola already addressed - the plugin only works up until version 22.1.2 newer versions are incompatible. The only recourse is to contact Customer Care to send an installer link which is sounds like they would not do.

    Hi Brad,  I am having the same problem.  Were you able to get the app to work on CC2023?  I love the app and have used it for years and now I cant use it anymore.  


    Hi,

    Yes, Wow now works in Photoshop 23 & 24 on M1 chip Mac ( and other versions ). The ‘key’ is to open the Photoshop app in Rosetta mode.

    1) Close photoshop

    2) navigate to the photoshop app in applications, click on the app while holding command I (the get info button)

    3) In the info box click on “ open using Rosetta “ .


    Hope this helps.

    Hi @Brad_Imager There is no installer for Photoshop 22.1.2 that a user can share and I'd be leary if someone offered you one - it most likely contains malware. Adobe customer support should have provided you with a link to download the base version. Did you talk to an actual person or just the chat bot?

    What is the plugin you are trying to run?

    Hi, Thanks for your question. I'm wanting to run a desktop Photoshop  plugin called 'Wow! Frequency Equilizer' by Know How Transfer on an M1 Mac studio using PS in Rosetta... heres their link: https://www.knowhowtransfer.com/

    "Know-How Transfer. Professional Plugins For Photoshop

    "All plugins are now compatible with the latest versions of Photoshop and WIN, and MAC Intel Operating Systems.
    With MAC, M1, and M2 CPUs only compatible until Photoshop 22.1.2 in native mode or with the latest Photoshop Versions with Rosetta. "

     

    The Adobe support representive was friendly and checked with someone but said that i could only have access to the older PS versions offered which in my case stops at PS V. 22.2.  

     

    Maybe i should try calling Adobe back and press the issue.
