Using plug-in modules

Plug-in modules are software programs developed
by Adobe Systems, and by other software devel-
opers in conjunction with Adobe Systems, to add
features to Adobe Photoshop. A number of
importing, exporting, automation, and special
effects plug-ins come with your program—
automatically installed in the Plug-Ins folder. If
you want to use a plug-in that is installed in
another folder, you must change the preference
settings so Photoshop uses the other plug-ins
location.
) or zoom out ( ) button
Once installed, plug-in modules appear as options
in the Import, Export, or Automate menus; as file
formats in the Open, Save As, and Save a Copy
dialog boxes; or as filters in the Filter menus.
Note: If many plug-in modules are installed,
Photoshop may not be able to list all the plug-ins in
their appropriate menus. Newly installed plug-ins
will appear in the Filter > Other submenu.
To install an Adobe Systems plug-in module:
If an installer is provided, use it to install the plug-
in module. Otherwise, drag a copy of the module
to the Plug-Ins folder inside the Adobe Photoshop
folder.
Follow any installation instructions that come
with third-party plug-ins.
To set plug-ins preferences:

usual Photoshop plug-ins, filters, and scanners will
be unavailable until you change back to the Plug-Ins
location inside the application folder.
