Adding Plug ins/Filters to Elements 9

I have a filter that I want to install into the Elements program. Every time I attempt to put the new filter into the menu, it says it has been completed but I am unable to see the filter. Here are the steps I have done.
The downloaded files are .zip. Double click on the zip file to extract the installers.
Double click on the extracted exe to start the installer.
Use the Browse button to aim the files at the Program Files/Adobe/ Photoshop Elements 9/Plug-ins/Filters directory.
After installation open Photoshop.[Photoshop only polls the Filters directory on start up. If you added the filters while Photoshop was up, it wouldn't see the new filter]. Now open an RGB file and look for your filter in the Filters Menu under the name of the new filter.
Any ideas?

Problems with mscv80.dll can be difficult to solve because in Vista and Win7 the DLL is considered a "System" file and access to it is tightly controlled. The easiest thing is to let Win7 do the repair by running the System File Check utility:
Close all programs.
Go to your "Start" menu, click on "All Programs", select the "Accessories" folder, and right-click on "Command Prompt".
Choose "Run as Administrator" from its context menu.
Enter the Administrator's password when prompted, to open a command prompt window with elevated privileges.
Type the following at the command prompt and hit Enter:
sfc /scannow
The SFC utility will tell you it's checking the system files and that the process will take some time. Be patient. When it's finished, it will tell you whether it found and fixed any files. N.B.: Even if the utility reports that it found nothing to repair, it really did, so close the command prompt and reboot your computer.

How to install third party plug-ins from photoshop elements 11 to new 13 in my PC win7?

how to install third party plug-ins from photoshop elements 11 to new 13 in my PC win7?
Thank you.

Hi ,
Your windows is 32 bit or 64 bit .
If win 7 32 bit
Just copy the plugin from PSE 11 and paste it to PSE 13 plug-in folder.
If win 7 64
PSE 11 and PSE 13 are installed as a 32 and 64 bit respectively , so you need to install plug-in again.
Thanks,

I am having problems adding plug ins from Elements 11 to 12.

When I go to preferences in 12, I check the box additional plugins. I go out and find the folder and add it and click on OK, I close down Elements and then come back and my plug in is there. Now I want to add another plug in and when I follow same scheme it eliminates the previous plug in that I added. It is only allowing me one plug in. What am I doing wrong? thanks.

You want to put all your plug-ins under the same parent folder, then point PSE to that parent folder.

Problem with plug-ins in Photoshop Elements 10

I imported plug-ins from CS3 to Photoshop Elements 10 plug-ins folder. Why do othey not show up in Filters in Photoshop Elements 10?

Just as a guess... they are not compatible... you need plugins that are compatible with the program you are using, not something written for a different program

Old plug-ins for new Elements

I'm running Mac OS X 5.8 (Leopard) and using iPhoto '09 as my "organizer". I just installed Elements v.10 and I'd like to know if and how to install plug-ins (On One Essentials for Elements and One-Click WOW) that I used for Elements v.4.
Will they work with the new version?
Thanks,
Firsch

If you go to the following site you will get much of the information you need as well as some useful tools. Some of the downloads will also come will a plain text document with instructions on how to install plug-ins.

Free plug ins & filters, sounds too?

are there common popular sites to acquire free filters & plug ins.
And even sound effects?
Thanks anyone?

For sound effects, the "Freesound Project" at http://www.freesound.org/home/login/?next=/home/ is hard to beat. You have to register but it's completely free. Don't forget to upload anything potentiall useful to others that you happen to record for yourself!
For a selection of free VST plug ins, have a browse through http://www.sadglad.com/freevstplugins6.html . They vary from really good to a bit blah, but there's certainly a lot to choose from!

After adding plug-ins to block ads, my firefox no longer opens--it hangs/freeze--i have tried to restart, even deleted firefox and downloaded a new version--to no avail! please advise--

Last night I aded a few plug-ins to block ads including Google's--after restarting my computer (Mac OS X 10.6.8), my firefox no longer opened, i.e. it hangs/freeze when I open it--I have tried to restart, open in safe mode, even deleted firefox altogether and downloaded a new version, to no avail! Please advise! I have been trying to revive Firefox for hours today--

Hey rumon,
Have you tried starting Firefox in Safe Mode? Hold down "option" while Firefox is starting up. If the crash doesn't happen in Safe Mode, you should read [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]].
There is also a lot of useful stuff in the [[Firefox crashes]] Knowledge Base article. If you've recently upgraded, you might want to check out [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/latest-firefox-issues#w_firefox-crashes-when-i-start-it this article] as well.
Hopefully this helps!

QuickTime plug-ins: Filters

Is there a plug-in for QT that allows Photoshop-like "Levels" adjustment?
The one that comes with QT is very limited.
If I export the QT video with a Filter active, are the filter-results "burned into" the exported movie?
Thanks

Years ago (10 years) Apple had filters that plugged into Quicktime. I think the only filter are the ones that come with Quicktime now.

Can we install premiere pro Transition 3rd party plug-ins in Elements ?

Trying to figure out if we can installed 3rd party transitions plug-ins in Premiere elements 13 Mac.
Like these from FXFactory
Plugins for Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, After Effects and Motion

The component files of the third party plugins are in:
Local Drive\Library\Audio\Plug-Ins\Components
You can make a backup of a given component (say in a desktop folder) and replace the component with other version etc.
You can use [Pacifist|http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/mac/12743] as well to install/extract a component from a given installation pack etc.
Edit: Sorry Immo I duplicated your reply solutions hitting posting a few sec. later...

Help Upgrading Actions/filters/plug-ins

When you do an upgrade to CS5, I assume you can just copy the actions files to the new location, and then load them. But what bout plug-ins/filters/scripts?
Woudl you have to find the actual old install files and run through those again?
For example, I have One-on-One software and Mystical Lighting that I use from time to time. Must I re-install those or download their install packages again? I don't think I could just cop those over to the new folder correct?

if you have 32 bit plugins, use them with the 32 bit installation of ps.

Why are my plug-ins not recognized by Photoshop CS5?

Hello,
It seems my plug-ins are not recognized at all by Photoshop CS5:
- Imagenomic
- Photokit Sharpener
- Photomatix
and even the - Optional Plug-ins given by Adobe are not working
I get a panel that says:
"could not complete your request because Photoshop doesn't recognize this type of file"
Am I doing something wrong?
The plug-ins are in:
Applications>Adobe Photoshop CS5>Plug-ins>Automate>PK Sharpener
or
Applications>Adobe Photoshop CS5>Plug-ins>Optional Plug-Ins
or
Applications>Adobe Photoshop CS5>Plug-ins>Imagenomic
or
Applications>Adobe Photoshop CS5>Plug-ins>Filters>Tone Mapping
Thanks for your help!
Emilie

sorry I've found the answer... not running in 32 bits... What a shame...

Missing plug-ins CS5 - help needed

In the filter menu I haven't got the first plug-ins. I have blur, noise, pixelate, sharpen, stylize, other and that's all. Where are the others and, more importantly, how can I get them?

Ah, they're just missing entirely from the menu. Have they always been missing like that, or did they go missing at some point? I see that you have some Nik plug-ins... Is it possible you saw the problem occur on installing those? I ask because there are several current forum threads on the bad things some Nik plug-ins are doing to the Photoshop user interface.
That has the look of a possibly incomplete Photoshop installation.
It's also possible that your menus have been edited...
Some things to try/check:
1. Do the menus return if you choose Windows - Workspace - Reset Essentials from the menu?
2. Do you have this file on your computer:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins\Filters\Liquify.8BF

Tried to Download additional plug-ins for CS4 but having problems.

I just found out that CS4 doesn't have the extract filter, so I went to this link to download additional plug-ins:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4047
I downloaded it, but I'm having trouble installing it. The instructions tell me to "navigate to the application
folder, double-click Setup, and then follow the on-screen instructions" but there's not application folder or Setup. I also tried opening the download, selecting English>Googies>Optional Plug-Ins>Filters>Extractplus.plugin, but it says "cannot complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file."
I'm at a complete loss here. All I want is the Extract Filter. I've tried 2 different downloads, both to no avail. Please help!

I don't quite follow?
The only document you need to read is the "OptionalPluginsReadMe.pdf" in the Goodies/Optional plug-ins folder on your mounted diskimage of your downloaded.
Here you'll find all the instructions on where to put the files.

Importing 3rd party plug-ins into CS5

Coming from CS3, I've tried drag and drop but no joy.
How do I get my plug-ins/filters moved over - or do I have to continue to use CS3 if I want to use them???
It's been some time and I'm not sure I even have the original installers or not - it would take some real hunting around to find them if I did. Some don't matter if I lose them, while many are used often. There *should* be a simple drag and drop, migrate or import function for this - where is it?

They sort of say DON'T USE OLD 3rd party PLUG INS!
"As with all previous versions of Photoshop, don't copy old third-party plug-ins, or plug-ins from previous versions of Photoshop, into the Photoshop CS5 plug-ins folder. If you have set the Additional Plug-Ins Folder in the Plug-Ins preferences to a folder, deselect this option."
Well where the heck are they supposed to go then? :-/ Their installers put them in the Plug-Ins folder...
I found for the couple I really wanted to import, and tried, once in 32 bit mode on startup (Switch this under "Get Info" for those reading along) - they worked just fine. Yes, 64 bit would probably be better, but I suspect that in many cases 64 bit "upgrades" aren't free - even though the features are no different.
For now, for my needs, this works and has been solved - thanks!
