HSB/HSL filter plugin won't stay loaded in Photoshop CC

I downloaded the optional HSB/HSL filter into the Photoshop CC plugins folder per the instructions. However, when I open Photoshop CC, the filter is not available in Other Filters in the Filters menu which is where it's supposed to be. With Photoshop CC closed, I can double-click on the "Optional Multiplugin.8BF" file (that has the HSB/HSL filter). That causes Photoshop CC to open and puts the HSB/HSL filter in Other Folders in the Filters menu. However, if I close Photoshop CC then reopen it, the filter is gone. Yesterday I updated Photoshop CC to verson 14.2.1 but that did not fix the problem.
Here is where the file is located on my computer:
Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC (64 bit)\Plug-ins\Optional Plug-ins Win64\Optional Multiplugin.8BF
Is there some way to load the "Optional Multiplugin.8BF" file so that it stays permanently loaded in Photoshop CC?

Yes, it turns out you're exactly right. I didn't realize I had a 32 bit version of Photoshop CC. My shortcut in my start menu was pointing to the 32 bit version. I re-pointed it to the 64 bit Photoshop CC and now the filter is where I expect it to be. Thanks for your help.

  • HSB/HSL filter plugin problem

    After downloading the HSB/HSL filter plugin as an 8BF file in the Plug-Ins folder, the error message "cannot complete your request because it is not the right kind of document" pops up. What am I doing wrongly?

    That is the type of error you would see if you double-click the 8BF file. The file type is associated with Photoshop, so if you double-click the file, Photoshop will attempt to open it as if it were an image. Plug-in files just need to be in the plug-ins folder at the time Photoshop is launched for the plug-in to be used in Photoshop.

  • HSB/HSL Filter not available in CC 2014

    Hi,
    I have CC 2014..2.2 (20141204.r.310 x32) installed on a Windows 7 (32bit) machine. Wanting to use the HSB/HSL filter, under Filters > Other but it is greyed out. Have tried installing it from Downloadable content (plug-ins) After downloading the file I locate the OptionalMuliPlugin in the Optional Plug-Ins Win32 folder, in the Zip file, and double click on it to install. This opens Photoshop but then comes up with an error saying "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document". Have also tried copying and pasting the OptionalMultiPlugin file into the Plugins folder at C:Program Files > Adobe > Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 (32 Bit) > Plugins but this does not work either.
    What am I missing?
    Cheers

    The version you have installs the HSB/HSL plugin as part of its default/required set. If you can see it in the Filter menu, it's installed. There is no need to install anything else.
    As for it being disabled when you attempt to use it, are you certain the active image qualifies in terms of bit depth, color mode, etc.?

  • HSB/HSL Filter for CS6?

    Does anyboy know how to get the old HSB/HSL filter into CS6?
    I've tried to copy both the CS3 and CS5 version of that filter into the CS6 directory sturcture, but the filter does not appear. No errors, just no appearance under Filters.
    I have a handful of actions that use that filter to generate saturation masks. A number of forum threads have tried and failed to reproduce the equivalent saturation mask using available Photoshop functions.
    Maybe it will be there under "Goodies" when the official release is made, maybe not. Or maybe it's hidden in the Beta download, but I can't find it.
    Good news is that the few other custom filters I use work fine when simply copied from the CS5 directory to the CS6 directory. These are the Topaz products and Imagineomic Noiseware and Portraiture.

    Got it, thanks for making me look again.
    Had to RTFM to remember that with CS5 the HSB/HSL filter is bundled in a file called OptinalMultiPlugin.8BF.
    Previously I just used search for all filenames containing "hsb". Only found a 1KB file called "Adobe HSBHSL Filter CS5 Prefs" (no extension) in a folder called "Adobe Mondo Filter CS5" in the users "Roaming" folder tree. copied that to CS6 with no joy. Still don't know what that is.
    But copying the OptionalMultiPlugin.8BF to a plugin folder for CS6 works. The filter appears under the "Other" category and functions OK.
    For the fun of it, I counted 13 different Adobe CS5/CS6 "plugins" folders now on my system! Less fun trying to figure out which ones CS6 uses.

  • Flash Player 10.3 won't stay loaded?

    Hi, I have XP Media Center Edition SP3, and recently had a catastrophic software failure. I had to reinstall windows over itself in the same directory. Since then, a few things don't work quite right. One of them is, almost every time I reboot my computer, shortly thereafter I get the notice that Adobe Flash Player 10.3 upgrade is available. I accept it, install it, and all seems fine, until sometime after my next reboot, and it asks the same question again. I think I've installed it about 4 times now. is there something in the registry that could be corrupted keeping this program from registering it has been upgraded? I also noticed that in internet explorer, some buttons on some web pages won't work (like Ebay). Some links do work, but some others don't do anything. I load Firefox, and the entire page works fine. I'm not sure if that's a flash issue or not.
    Thanks.

    Solved
    Flush did the trick. Safari and Firefox both now show video's from http://www.vancouversun.com/
    I had tried suggestions from many prior threads such as: enabling popups, allowing 3rd party cookies, uninstal / re-install Flash, manually deleting LSO cookies in Library / preferences / macromedia / flashplayer, clearing history & cookies via preferences -- nothing worked.
    All is now normal. Plus I've gone back to blocking popups and 3rd party cookies and videos keep playing.
    Cheers

  • How come my safari pages won't stay loaded?

    Safari page loads for 3-5 seconds then returns to either desktop or start-up page.

    See if the following help.  Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data (Clear Cache on iOS 4) and also Clear History
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    If you are on iOS 5 then turning off iCloud and multitasking gestures might also help

  • Kindle App won't stay loaded on Macbook Pro

  • Adobe flash plugin won't stay downgraded. I have use "Tools" and clicked on only upgrade after asking me, but it upgrades anyway. I can't keep it downgraded

    Firefox keeps allowing the upgrade back to adobe flash 11.3.
    I have deleted 11.3 and installed 11.2 several times, but after a day or two, the 11.3 is back.
    I went to"tools" and clicked on "check for updates, but let me choose to install them", but it still upgrades to the 11.3
    Can you help?
    thank you

    Your above posted system details shows two Flash plugins, so you will have to disable or remove one of them.
    # Shockwave Flash 11.3 r300
    # Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202
    You can set the plugin.expose_full_path pref to true on the about:config page to see the full path of plugins on the about:plugins page.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_plugins#Identifying_installed_plugins
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:plugins
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
    It is best not to leave that pref set to true as it exposes that full path to web servers, so reset that pref to false after you are done with the about:plugins page.

  • Font drop down menu won't stay open in Photoshop Elements 8

    I have Photoshop Elements 8. Up until today it worked just fine. I have been trying to change the font type using the drop down menu of course. Every time I click on the drop down menu it tries to open, but will not stay open to make the change. The menu just flickers in the attempt to open it up.
    I have reset the tool, deleted any preferences at start up using the Ctrl+Alt+sSiht keys and no help.
    I am using a Windows 7 64bit system. Like I said, this hasn’t happen before. Now that I think about it, sometimes when a menu box is open it will disappear behind the main window and I need to find it again by toggling the window, this will make the change menu to reappear. But still no font drop down menu.
    Anybody have any help?

    If photodrawken's suggestion doesn't make any difference, which was my first thought on the problem, here are a couple of other suggestions.
    You might have a bad font. Have you installed any fonts or programs that might have put in new fonts recently?
    In pse 8 under Edit>Preferences>Type uncheck Font Preview Size and see if that makes a difference.
    Also this lists a fix for missing scroll bars in pse 8 and even though that's not your exact problem it would be worth a try:

  • Filter plugin not loaded everytime

    Hi,
    I am currently writing a filter Plug-in for Photoshop but I'm having an issue and can't find any clue of what is causing it.
    My plugin is sometimes loaded by photoshop and sometimes not. When it is not, deleting the 8bf file and doing a rebuild of the project works, without modifying anything in the code. Sometimes I have to rebuild many times until the plugin gets loaded, which is anoying...
    First I checked that the sdk version in the .r file was correct: Version { (latestFilterVersion << 16 ) | latestFilterSubVersion }, the entry point is the same as in the dissolve example.
    I thought that photoshop may cache the plugins to load them faster and that the new version isn't seen (like when I build many times a minute), but I figured out that when a plugin is loaded once, it is always recognized.
    One thing that I've noticed is that when my plugin is loaded, if I go to Help > System Info..., there is no version number for my plugin, that may cause the issue but I can't find in the dissolve example where this version 13 comes from. I thought as well that maybe the resource isn't compiled correctly sometimes but it is strange and unlikely I think (maybe still worth mentionning).
    Does anybody have any clue / suggestion? It's been 2 days that I'm trying to figure out what's going on and it starts to drive me crazy...

    Hi
    Are you developing for Windows or Mac?
    I had a similar problem with Windows.  I found I wasn't compiling the correct pipl files (my .rc file wasn't including the correct pipl files).  Tidy up/delete any pipl files and make sure 100% you're including correct pipl files.
    I also had a problem when switching between 32/64 bit builds.  For example, when compiling a 64 bit plug-in, VS2010 would sometimes not force a rebuild for the .r file (to generate .pipl for 64 bit) and would then include the 32 bit pipl (leftover from the 32 bit build).  This meant that my plugin wouldn't appear in 64 bit Photoshop (because the pipl was invalid).  For me the solution is to either delete any old pipl files before compiling, or being mindful to do a rebuild of pipl files when switching from 32/64 bit builds.  I could also have created separate pipl builds for 32/64 bit and made sure correct one was being included.
    When the plug-in doesn't appear in Photoshop, eliminate all the obvious bits (like plug-in paths), check your DLL exports, then check the pipl.  I don't think it's the version number, but someone with more experience than me might point you in a better direction.
