Question

how to I reinstall all my plugins from PSE15 into PSE2018?

Help, I was finally able to install PSE 2018 on my macbook pro.  Now I would like to have all my plugins from PSE15 back and installed in 2018 -- is there a folder somewhere that I can copy and drag -maybe into application support?   also I have about 50 actions - can i just move that action folder somewhere that 2018 will recognize and use? I use my plugins for other programs pretty much every time I edit - it will be a pain to have to quit out of PSE 2018 and launch the program  that I want to use and then bring it back into PSE.  I don't remember having this problem with going from 2014 to 2015.  suggestions please?  thanks

Hi,

Please try following steps :

- Copy Installed Plugins from location " Applications -> Adobe Photoshop elements 15 -> Support Files -> Plugins " and paste at corresponding location of 2018.

- For Actions : Copy the actions from the following location

~library/Application Support/ Adobe/Adobe photoshop Elements 15/Actions

and paste at corresponding location of 2018

Now relaunch the application.

Please let me know if you face any issue.

Thanks,

Rupali

Hi Rupali,

I always have done this from the beginning with PS and later PSE. But my folder in PSE 12 is:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12\Plug-Ins

and the new one:

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 2018\Plug-Ins

there is no "Supported Files".

It always has work. But now i copied the plugins in the new folder ...Plug-Ins and when I restart PSE 2018 there is a warning:

"Almost one additional module currently is not available in the system.

What I have to do?

Thanks for your help

Photoshop elements 2018 requires 64 bit plugins.

Pse 12 on windows is 32 bit software so it uses 32 bit plugins which won't work in pse 2018.

Go to the makers plugin sites and see if they have 64 bit versions available.
