There

Please, I need assistance. If I could not find the folder in here, where could it possibly be? or is there a step-by-step procedure to make the folder appear? or am I just suppose to click "New" then add folder then name it "Plugins"?

Hi

Plug ins are now normally installed to a common files folder so that they are still available after a version upgrade. So try here:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CC

Hello, Just a question. is it possible to drag the Plugin I need for my Photoshop here and it will install? The instruction said to drag the Plugin in the Plugins folder for Photoshop. yet, Photoshop is not the only Adobe app I have.

Some plug ins need to be installed some can just be dragged into the folder. Try it - if it works then it is fine.

Look in your Photoshop application folder.

Usually the Plugin automatically installs it in the plugin folder when you install a third-party plugin. What’s its name?

The Plugin's name is SuperPNG

I haven't installed any Plugins yet, this is my first time.

And sorry, I'm new to this but where can I usually find the application folder?

The plugins folder is still not present in the Photoshop's Application Folder. I'm thinking twice if I might have to reinstall the app.


The plugins folder is not going to appear in the application folder, it's going to stay in the Common Files location in reply 5.
