Fireworks CS5 not finding Photoshop plug-ins

I recently installed Alien Skin Eye Candy 6 and Exposure 3 64-bit plug-ins. They are in my Photoshop plugins folder.
When I open the Fireworks preferences and select this as the Photoshop plug-ins folder, the plug-ins are not available in Fireworks. I just get the standard Fireworks list and "Photoshop Live Effects".
I tried trashing the preferences to no avail, and tried on a new user account - and really just can't understand why it is failing entirely to find the 3rd party plugins. Its no big deal - I hardly ever use them... but would still like to have them in the tank should they be needed for any reason.
Any help gratefully received.
Cheers,
Steve Jones
PS: Running Fireworks CS5 (11.0.0.484) on a MacBook Pro i7 2.66Ghz with 8GB RAM, Mac OS X 10.6.6

Yep, that would do it alright. I thought it was a 64 bit application.
I have contacted Alien Skin to see what the story is with running both 64 bit and 32 bit versions of the plugins on the same machine. I'm assuming that, presuming I can get access to the 32 bit installers, installing them directly into Fireworks own plugins folder will work if the Photoshop Plug-Ins checkbox is unchecked.
I will update this thread when I have a definitive response from Alien Skin.

  • Adobe bridge cs5 64bit - HELP: photoshop plug-ins doesnt work

    Hi to all this is my 1st post since its my 1st time to have a problem with adobe. My problem is that i selected a number of images and tried a batch image process thru Tools > photoshop > image processor. After clicking nothing happens. I also tried the other plug ins like HDR, Batch etc but nothing seems to work. I went to the directory folder and all of the plug ins are intact and in the " plug-ins " folder. I also updated everything just now but still no luck. What happening here,please help me out. Thanks

    "Reveal my scripts folder" is to reveal the user's folder for costom scripts, not public scripts. If you have no custom scripts like you developed yourself and want to load it into Bridge, then the folder is empty.  It's normal.
    The issue seems not plugin but scripts installed by Photoshop not working. Could you please let me know the version of Photoshop and Bridge:
    Photoshop: Help>System Info
    Bridge: Help>About Bridge
    You mentioned you updated it 1st time, you mean update PS or Bridge?  Could you please send me via private message the install log of update? You can find it here:
    Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\Adobe Bridge CS5 4.0.*
    Windows 64-bit: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\Adobe Bridge CS5 4.0.*
    Thanks,

  • How to launch photoshop plug-ins under Lightroom?

    Do Somebody know a way how to launch Adobe Photoshop plug-ins under Lightroom?
    Especially the case is interesting when there is only Lightroom and there is not an installed copy of Photoshop.
    There are some 3th party favorite Photoshop's plug-ins (some may be commercial)  which I would like to apply on picture into Lightroom. But Photoshop arent more used. And even arent installed. How is possible to use photoshop's plug-ins into Lightroom?

    Thank Misterretro! You are bet! This tool is indeed the answer on my needs.
    Jim, fortunately, you were wrong. As I can see now there is a way how to launch Photoshop plug-ins under Lightroom, (and also iPhoto, Aperture and etc). At last, the link above promises it, To say it exactly it needs to try.
    PS. As I can see, not all Photoshop plug-ins are supported. (But my favorite it should be hosted) This tool "LaunchBox" can integrate into Lightroom only 3th party filter (like AlienSkin, AutoFX, Topaz and etc..) plug-ins but not standard Photoshop filters because obviously what standard Photoshop filters arent plug-ins but these are a part of Photoshop binary code.

  • Fireworks CS5 not opening.

    Hey.
    So here's my problem.
    I've been using Fireworks (On Windows) for years but have recently jumped over to Mac OSX Snow Leopard and CS5 Master Collection.
    Now, my whole suite works perfectly, I can open PS, DW, everything, and they work beautifully.
    When I open FW, the icon loads in the dock for a couple seconds and then disappears as if I had just closed it.
    As I am fairly new to OSX I am struggling to diagnose the problem,
    any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Rou.

  • One NIK filter does not appear as plug-ins

    Dear All,
    I'm working with the NIK Color Efex Pro plug-ins that include a whole series of plug-ins, but one does not appear in Photoshop.  That is the Analog Pro 2 package.  I can get it to work, but I must open it separately because it won't appear in the list of filters that are listed under "Nik Collection."  I've dragged the Analog Pro 2 application into the Adobe Plug-Ins file along with the other NIK filters, but it doesn't appear to have the same .plugin or .config file name as the other files.  Anything I can do to get this plug-in to appear?  Another one that doesn't seem to appear in Photoshop is called "Selection Tool." 
    Thanks  Small Town Gal

    Yes, done all that but there is no adobe flash player listed in the add ons >plug ins site. However in the program listings on the start section adobe flash player is displayed.
    I have tried down loading it again and although I have done this from downloads and it displays as done it does not reappear in plug ins.
    The plug ins I have got listed in Tools>Add_ons>Plugins are
    Microsoft RDM 9.0.0.3250
    Microsoft RDM 9.0.0.3250
    Mozilla Default Plug in 1.0.015
    Shockwave flash 10.01.2.76

  • Migrating to CC - Photoshop plug ins

    I do posses a vast number of photoshop plug-ins installed in CS6; now I am migrating to CC; how do I migrate the filters and plug-ins?

    Welcome to the forum,
    As John stated, it's best to check with the developers websites of each plug-in and see if they offer updated versions for Creative Cloud software, or further information about upcoming updates or compatibility issues with Creative Cloud.

  • When I try to install some plugins I get "Can't find Internet Plug-ins folder". Friends with the same machine using the same browser can download just fine.  What gives?

    When I try to install a plugin in any browser on my Mac Mini or my MacBook Pro, I get a "Can't find Internet Plug-Ins folder" message.  Other friends with the same machines can install the plugin just fine.  We can't find any reason why the plugin won't install on mine.  Any ideas out there?

  • Using STL collections in Photoshop plug-ins

    Hello!<br /><br />Would you explain one moment. I need use a lot of STL collections in my Photoshop plug-in.<br /><br />First, I try to write something like<br />---------------------------------------------------------------------<br />#include <map><br />#include <string><br /><br />...<br /><br />  map<int,string> foo;  // BANG!<br />---------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />Next, I try to use Photoshop Basic Suite:<br /><br />---------------------------------------------------------------------<br />#include <algorithm><br /><br />namespace std {}<br />using namespace std;<br /><br />#include <PIFormat.h><br /><br />extern SPBasicSuite     *g_sSPBasic;<br /><br />inline void * operator new ( const size_t size )<br />{<br />     void *result = 0;<br /><br />     if( 0 != g_sSPBasic )<br />     {<br />          void     *temp;<br /><br />          if( g_sSPBasic->AllocateBlock( size, &result ) )<br />          {<br />               result = 0;<br />          }<br />          else<br />          {<br />#ifdef     DEBUG<br />               char     *tmp = static_cast<char*>( result );<br />               fill( tmp, tmp + size, 0xEB );<br />#endif<br />          }<br />     }<br /><br />     return     result;<br />}<br /><br />inline void operator delete ( void * ptr )<br />{<br />     if( 0 != g_sSPBasic )<br />     {<br />          g_sSPBasic->FreeBlock( ptr );<br />     }<br />}<br /><br />//  the same for operator new[] and operator delete[]<br />---------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />Now simple STL collections can be created.<br /><br />Is there more laconic way to create STL collections?<br /><br />Moreover. This code is very dirty. For example, I even don't sure that Simple Suite address is constant between calls of plug-in entry point. So I think this is an awful dangerous code (just imagine the effect of two copies of of Adobe Photoshop using plug-in using this operators simultaneously).<br /><br />Do you have some ideas how to make it clean and working?

    On dynamic C++ memory management in Adobe Photoshop plug-in
    As there are some people interested in the question I'll try to explain a technique I use at present.
    I have two memory allocators:
    a) based on Adobe's Basic Suite for small blocks (under 2Kbytes)
    b) based on Adobe's Handle Suite for large blocks (above 2Kbytes)
    operator new and operator new[] allocate 4 additional bytes for every allocation, store in the first 4 bytes handle to memory allocator used for this new or new[] call, and return pointer after this handle.
    operator delete and operator delete[] takes memory allocator handle from the pre-pointer 4 bytes, and dellocate memory using correct memory allocator.
    This strategy works well.
    Does anybody know a better dynamic memory management technique to use with Adobe SDK for Adobe Photoshop plug-ins?

  • Lightroom Does not Find Photoshop

    I just installed Lightroom and have been toying with it.
    I have Photoshop CS2 installed in the default location, but in Lightroom, under Edit > Preferences, in the External Editors Tab, it states "Edit in Adobe Photoshop (not found)." The option to Edit in Photoshop under Photo is greyed out.
    Is there any way I can tell Lightroom where Photoshop is located?
    As it is now, I have set up my Additional External Editor as Photoshop, but I am unsure if it is maxamizing compatibility when I save the file, and I'd really rather know why it did not find Photoshop on the install or first run?
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Hello jack,
    best you will ask this "someone" about the missing plug-in. What concerns to get one or two, you could have a look at "Third-party plug-ins for InDesign" >>>
