Plugins for "Export" & "Automation" menu functions

Report · Apr 12, 2022

Running PSE 16 on Mac 10.13

Export & Automation Menus are greyed-out

Seems I need Plugins.

Can you point me to a Mac compatible source?

I found one site but Apple doesn't recognize the developer.

Shared experience, recommendation & directions appreciated.

thank you

Doesn't seem to be much in the way of free plugins right now that go under either the Automation Tools or Export menu.

You could, however, use scripts like from here; namely the Adjustment & Fill Gallery and Mirror Effects scripts.

https://github.com/tonton-pixel/json-photoshop-scripting/tree/master/Creative-Scripts

After downloading the scripts, put them in

/Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 2018/Support Files/Presets/scripts

Then the scripts should show under File>Automation Tools when in the Expert mode.

Thank you for the response, Jeff.

Looking around at available Automation PlugIns, not too much that I can use or need right now.

Of more interest would be plugins for the Export function:

I see web tutorials on Exporting layers and I presume one could Export to different file formats.

Finding only one @ https://video-books.net/downloads/index.htm#elem+

But my Mac will not open the demo because my "preferences do not permit unauthorize developers" or something to that effect. Is there a workaround or is that an essential caveat? Are there other Export plugins or perhaps scripts?

Thank you
