FAQ: How do I install my favorite plugins to Photoshop CS6?

Photoshop has gone through considerable changes through the years and some older plug-ins are no longer compatible with Photoshop CS6.
Plug-in Compatibility
In general:
3rd Party plug-ins that are compatible in Photoshop CS5 should be compatible in Photoshop CS6
Adobe provided plug-ins, and additional plug-ins, for CS5 are not compatible in Photoshop CS6Photoshop CS5 Optional Plug-Ins (Mac/Win)
TWAIN plug-in | Photoshop CS4, CS5
OpenEXR Alpha plug-in | Photoshop CS5 Extended
Installing plug-ins in Photoshop CS6
Do:
Check the plug-in manufacturer's website for the latest version of your plug-in
Use the manufacturer's plug-in installer to install their plug-ins
Don't:
Do not point Photoshop CS6's "Additional Plug-ins" preference (Preferences>Plug-Ins...) at a previous version of Photoshop's 'Plug-Ins' folder.
Do not manually drag plug-ins from a previous version of Photoshop's plug-ins folder to Photoshop CS6's 'Plug-Ins' folder

You can also get plug-ins for Photoshop CS6 with the Adobe Exchange Panel which alongside Extension Manager will help install them. Find all the products here:

  • Please help -- How can I install flash player plugin (version 8) in browser without downloading setup or redirecting to macromedia site if flash plugin is not available in browser

    Hi,
    Please help
    How can I install flash player plugin (version 8) in browser
    without
    downloading setup or redirecting to macromedia site if flash
    plugin is not
    available in browser
    Thanks

    Via Javascripting. Look for Flash detection kits at the
    Adobe/Maromedia web
    site and also at Internet search engines.
    As well this forum focuses on database access issues and you
    might find more
    takers for this type of question in the Flash General forum.

  • How can i istall the photocd plugin of photoshop CS3 to photoshop cs4 under windows7?

    How can i istall the photocd plugin of photoshop CS3 to photoshop cs4 under windows7?
    i had no problem to install under windows XP, but i do not know how and where to install the windows profiles and i am not sure, if i habe just ro move the .8bi file to the directory plugins/file formats.
    can anyone, please, explain me how to install the plugin into the 64bit and 32bit versions of photoshop cs4 under windows7?

    Thanks for the response. Photomerge.jsx, and stack scripts only are in the scripts folder. However, I had to put them in there from cs3. Now I can get the photomerge window to open (still the cs3 version) but after I select the photos and hit ok nothing happens. I have been comparing the presets in cs3 to see what I am missing in cs4, but I cant find the missing files.

  • How do I install an older version of Premiere CS6

    I want to install Premiere CS6 6.0.3 but have 6.0.5 installed. I downloaded the 6.0.3 update from this page:

    How do I install a previous version of Premiere CS6?
    Randy

    Hi Randy,
    Once the file is downloaded and initiate the installation you need to choose start my subscription or start trial and enter your Adobe Id and password
    to activate it. If you are using CC you can download, install and activate CS6 product as well with that.
    Please use the below link for 6.0 version

    Please make sure to complete the Very Important Instructions section prior to clicking on the download link.

    How do I install an old version of photoshop on a new computer?

    So you can install.
    Which version are you installing? Which operating system?
    The real issue here seems to be that your serial number is not being accepted?
    Are you entering the correct serial number?

  • Optional plugins for Photoshop CS6 - installation advice?

    Where should I / how should I install the Lighting Styles folder and the 8bf, 8bi and 8ba files included in the optional plugins for Photoshop CS6? (Win 32)
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    Heather

    Hi Heather,
    If you  have the 64-bit version of either of these OSes, then:
    Windows 7 and Vista (32 bit): Program Files (x86)/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS6/Plug-ins folder
    If you have the 32-bit OS version, then: Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS6/Plug-ins folder
    The Lighting Styles folder just needs to be in the same directory as the LightingEffects plug-in.
    Secondarily, why are you wanting to use the legacy plug-in? Is it because you don't a video card that can enable OpenGL drawing?
    regards,
    steve
