CS5 Optional Plugins Problem??

Hi,
I work for a college. I have a lab of 20 identical machines. They are iMacs running Leopard. They have Adobe CS5 Standard installed. Last night one of my faculty said that photoshop was missing two plug-ins. Web Photo Gallery and ContactSheet. I look online and found a handy dandy CS5 Optional Plug-In patch that will install all of these plug-ins as well as about 15 more. This patch is officially made by Adobe and on their website. (http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4687) I go to install this patch and I get a message that you have to have photoshop 12.0 or greater to install this patch. I re-download the patch. Double check that photoshop is at least 12.0 and it is when I click on the about link on Photoshop. I run the Adobe updater and run the photoshop update that upgrades it to 12.0.1 (or 12.1, but I think it is 12.0.1) and re-tried the patch install. I get the same exact message about having to have 12.0 or greater. I even went to this website (http://generatex.com/cs5.html) with step by step instructions on how to install the plug-ins and no go. I called Adobe and they want to charge me for the call. I ended up finding a link (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/828/cpsid_82824.html#main_Plug_ins_installed_in_CS5__optional_in_ previous_versions) that mentions that 64 bit photoshop cannot have Web Photo Gallery and ContactSheet installed on it. However, when you right click on the Photoshop app you can click the option to run in 32 bit mode. Making that change did not correct the issue when I re-tried the install. I think I am out of luck. Anyone run into this or have any alternate ideas?

Hi Adam,
Please open <Photoshop installation folder>/Configuration/XManConfig.xml, search following line:
<Data key="ProductVersion">12.0</Data>
make sure the value is 12.0, you can modify it to 12.0.1 in your case. Extension Manager determines the version of Photoshop according to this value. If you can not find this line, add it manually. Save this file and retry. I can not reproduce this issue unless I modify this value to 11.0 or less.

Photoshop CS5 Optional Plugins downloaded file issue

I am trying to download the Photoshop CS5 Optional Plugins from the following Adobe website http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4688.
I'm using IE9 as my browser and opting to save the file to my desktop.
The downloaded file appears as follows on my desktop - PSCS5OptionalPlugins_Win_en_US.zip.av6ac0u - whiich I'm unable to unzip and use. I am able to download other plug ins from the Adobe site. Is there an alternate page for downloading these files or some "trick" to downloading these particular plugins?
Thank you.

I'm a huge fan of the mouse myself, Noel. As a matter of fact that's what instantly drew me to the Lisa and the Mac initially, at a time when PCs were still at the command-line stage of MS-DOS and PC users were mocking and deriding menus and the mouse.
To this day I much prefer to do anything that can be done with the mouse and/or menus without having to clutter what's left of my withered brain with the learning of commands and key combos, and my considerably handicapped hands make me a lousy typist on account of arthritis and neuropathy anyway.
But aliases ("shortcuts") on the desktop are not necessary to launch applications or open documents. That's what The Dock is for on the Mac, which, as you can see in my screen shot above, I keep hidden below the bottom of the screen with all its icons until I bring my cursor down to hover over that area when I need it.
And I have double the logos you do.
Hehehe… I have plenty of those in reserve. We don't want to clutter this thread with more images than necessary.

CS5 Optional Plugin Loading

I would like to make a contact sheet of images and noticed I need to download the optional plugins for CS5.
I did this, read through the instructions though I was following along but when I have placed the files into the areas specificed and then open photoshop the option for a contact sheet does appear under automate.
Can someone walk me through and tell me what to do to get this to work?
Thanks.

Do you have a 64 bit system? I ask because you have to make sure the 64 bit optional components go under the 64 bit installation area, and the 32 bit components under the 32 bit installation area.
Photoshop 64 bit is based here:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)
Photoshop 32 bit is based here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5
Also, make sure you stop and restart Photoshop after installing the optional components.

Cannot scan using CS5, Optional TWAIN plugin does nothing

I'm trying to figure out how to scan using CS5 (Master Collection, 32-bit for 32-bit Windows Vista). I found references to an optional plugin pack for Photosop, which supposedly has a TWAIN plugin that works for 32-bit Windows Vista. So, I downloaded it. But, it seems like such a hack pack. There nothing to launch (run) for an automatic install. There's just a duplicate set of bewildering instructions for "installing" each plugin.
The instructions included in the plugin pack has a section that says "TWAIN (Mac only)" and only lists instructions for a Mac. Near the top of the document is the entire list of plugins. A footnote below the list indicates that the plugins intended only for the Mac are marked with an asterisk. The TWAIN plugin is in the list, but not marked. The online documentation confirms that the TWAIN plugin in this pack works for 32-bit Windows. But, it does not reveal how to install or use it.
Before you ask, yes, I downloaded the right version. Thinking the two version might have been switched, I also downloaded the Mac version. But, I couldn't even open it.
Anyway, I found multiple blogs instructing to add the Twain_32.8BA file to the folder "%ProgramFiles%\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins\Import-Export", launch Photoshop, then select File and Import. I'm not sure what was supposed to show up there, but nothing was added.
I know the scanner works, the scanner driver works, and the TWAIN driver works, since I can still use them with the much cheaper Serif software.
Any ideas?

I finally resolved most of the issue. Long story short, the scanner wasn't connected. What an idiot! The long story appears below if you are interested.
I still cannot scan from the scanner. But, I'm confident it's not a Photoshop or TWAIN plugin issue. The only remaining issue with an Adobe product is the very sketchy instructions (or lack thereof) and "install" procedures involved with Adobe's "hack-pack".
Thanks to all who took time to respond.
The Long Story
After posting my question, I continued double-checking everything, including the Serif software, which now could not find the scanner.
The problem originated when I borrowed the USB cable from the scanner (a Lexmark X6100 series all-in-one). When I returned the cable to an impossible to see set of connections on the rear, it fit perfectly in the phone line-out jack.
Oblivious to the cable problem, I attempted to uninstall the Lexmark driver software. This caused a nightmare of registry changes, security issues, and reboots. The driver software had been tweaked to work with Windows Vista. But, nobody thought to update the uninstaller. In the midst of the computer problems, my telephone service goes out. Go figure.
I eventually stumbled upon a resolve to the telephone issue by disconnecting the phone system from the Lexmark. At this point I begin to get a little suspicious of the Lexmark being a cause for both problems. I checked the phone cable to the Lexmark. But, it seems fine. I reconnect it on both ends. Still, it causes a telephone issue. At a loss for that problem and having a temporary resolve for now, I continue working on the driver issue.
With the Lexmark software finally removed from my computer, I begin installing a slightly updated version, praying I don't have to ever uninstall it. But, it won't install, reporting the Lexmark has to be on and connected. Rechecking the USB connection, I can feel that the USB cable is a little loose. Then, it dawns on me that it could be plugged into the phone line-out. Feeling around for another jack, I find one, plug in the USB, get a much more appropriate fit, and voila!. The new device driver installs.
I launch the Serif software. And, now it's able to find the Lexmark. I launch Photoshop, select File and Import, and there appears a new item, "Lexmark X6100 series ...". Now, if I could only get it to actually work.

Compatibility problem - CS5.5 plugin doesn't work with CS5.5

Hi,
I have a problem with our CS5.5 plugin, it works without problems one my machine but the customer gets the errormessage "Adobe InDesign does not recognize JOURNALDESIGNERPLUGIN.PLN as valid plug-in. Please reinstall...."
I know this message from accidentaly putting a CS5 plugin in the CS5.5 folder - but this is a CS5.5 plugin. I tried exactly the same plugin file the customer used in my InDesign and it works here. We both use version 7.5.3 on Windows.
And ideas where the problem is?
Thanks

Optional Plugins for CS5

Has anyone successfully installed the optional plugins in CS5 running in 64bit under Snow Leopard 10.6.3?

Hi,
It's best to check directly with Epson, but I think Canon is one of the few so far that have posted 64 bit drivers for their scanners.
See this post for a bit more info:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2888087#2888087
You might get an answer from PDFerguson on how to tell if the driver is 32 bit or 64 bit compatible.

Optional plugins not supported

i d/l'd and installed the optional plugins for ps cs5, but they do not show in the filters list.
i have been told by someone who has used ps for a number of years that ps cs5 does not support them.
i d/l'd them from adobe, so why don't they work?

it is possible i installed the wrong plugins, but i did
get them from adobe. they are the same that were removed after cs3
when cs4 came out. they are both available from adobe's download page
as optional, one version for cs4 the other for cs5. i'll check to see if the correct
version is installed as i have both 32 and 64 bit capabilities on my win 7 ultimate 64 bit os.
i'll let you know the result as soon as i can. hopefully the version installed for my 64 bit is
incorrect, not unsupported.
i have just visited the d/l page here
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4688&fileID=4376
but there is nothing to indicate any 32 or 64 bit version for the plugins. it only has a single d/l link
as you can see on the page. i have already added some demo and other plugins without any problem
but i am unable to find where or how to resolve this problem with them not being available for use
in ps cs5 extended.
i currently have literally hunderds of filters, freeware and paid, that are all ps compatible but am leary
of installing into ps for use there. they are installed for use in other applications.

PREMIERE PRO CS5.5 Gamma problem while exporting project to mjpeg A or B

Dear Sir,
I'm in a big ****. I've directed and edited 1h documentary for Finnish television, also, the technical specs requested by the TV Channel is all production Broadcast masters must be encoded with Apple ProRES codec or MJPEG A or B.
As i'm working on PC (win7), the ProRES codec doesn't exist on PC system, so i've done the export to MJPEG. The problem is i have a different gamma level when i watch the final export with Quicktime or VLC. Of course i can adjust the level in those players, but it doesnt effect the file. When i import the Qt file into a Premiere sequence, the gamma level is still **** and different from my original level i have from my timeline and preview window. If i export the project to H264 1920x1080p25, then the gamma is perfect with Qt, VLC and WinMedia player. But the TV station don't wanna work with H264. Deadline is on next monday, and i can't send a Qt MJPEG file with wrong gamma !!!Any chance to find a solution to fix it ??? After reading different forum, i can see this problem exist since many years and never been solved.
What can i do ??
Denis.

Things is my prpject includ few effect plugins i bought, so what ever i could find a mac, not your i could export xml project to finalcut with plugins it dont have

If it were me, I wouldn't encode to MJPEG.
So as to encode to ProRes on Windows you can utilise any solution based on ffmpeg/ffmbc or better yet find a Mac with Final Cut or Compressor installed for delivering critical work.

CS4 About installing the `Optional Plugins' 64 or 32 bit

Can anyone tell me from experience if when installing the `Optional Plugins' found in the `goodies' directory of install discs or from online sources by adobe, does it matter which photoshop `plugins' directory you use, or do you need to drop them in both?
(I'm particularly interested in the contact sheet II plugin)
On 64 bit systems (Using CS4) you have one 64 bit version of PS and one 32 bit version. Both have the dirctorires mentioned in the instructions found in:
`Photoshop CS4 and Photoshop Extended CS4 Read Me for Optional Plug-Ins, Extensions and Presets' *.pdf instructions.
But I don't see any mention of 64 or 32 bit in relation to placement of the `optional plugins'.

Hey Harry, I think he knows (Chris wrote part of the program).
I believe what Chris is saying is that:
1. Only 32 bit plug-ins work with 32 bit Photoshop, and only 64 bit plug-ins work with 64 bit Photoshop.
2. There are plug-ins in the package for each of the variants, 32 bit and 64 bit.
3. The 32 bit plug-in(s) need to go under the install area for the 32 bit Photoshop, which is rooted at (on a 64 bit system):
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins
4. The 64 bit plug-in(s) need to go under the install area for the 64 bit Photoshop:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\Plug-ins
If you look in the PSCS5OptionalPlugins_Win_en_US.zip file it's pretty obvious which of these are in what subfolder (look for Win32 and Win64 subfolder names).
Note also that the ReadMeCS5_OptionalPlugin.pdf file in the base folder inside the zip file does give instructions.

PHOTOSHOP CS6 PLUGIN PROBLEM; I have PS CS6

PHOTOSHOP CS6 PLUGIN PROBLEM; I have PS CS6 & a mac osx 10.7.5 I have downloaded the pluginhttps://sourceforge.net/projects/panotools/ I drag it to the applications folder (applications/photoshop/plugins) and it shows up there, but it does not show up when I reopen photoshop, can anyone tell me if this is a valid plugin or what I am doing wrong?

Thank you for the link, I don't see where the licensing is listed at all, I also don't see where it says it is for existing CS2 users only & the line install a special version that does not require activation -
doesn't scream it'd be a problem to load it especially since I already own a later version that I can't use the plugin on - …I don't find the site all that informative. I appreciate all the answers & responses to my use of CS2 but I'd really just like to receive an answer to the original question of if the plugin works with it or not…if anyone has that answer I'd appreciate it.
Is there a place I can purchase it? I will gladly do so if I can get the plugin to work-that is my goal.

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

Where to download 2.3.4's optional plugins?

Hi,
My company's finance department have purchased the licences for standard
edition and plugins for caching. Where do I download the 2.3.4's optional
plugins?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Makas,
On October 24, these were sent to the individual in your firm who has the
licenses associated with them.
Also, in the near future, we will be upgrading our license key systems to
better handle optional add on modules.

Cs5 Brush cursor problem, on MacBook pro, tried the latest update, and the genious dude had no idea of what to do! Apple any fix?

Additional Info - after working on this problem for 4 hours, I shut my laptop in frustration and took a break. 1 hour later I opened my mac and the cursor had magically returned. No restart, no power on/off - nothing. Frustration. If anyone else has had this happen and has actually fixed the problem let me know. I'm sure it will reoccur.
