Topic: PS4 Extension

I tried to install the extension for PS4 and I get this message:

This extension cannot be installed, it requires Photoshop 12.0 or greater
To install this extension, please try to install Photoshop CS4 or use Adobe Extension Manager CS3...

It makes no sense because I am running CS4.

Re: PS4 Extension

Rather than double-clicking the .mxp file, try right-clicking the shortcut for Adobe Extension Manager, selecting 'Run as administrator...' and then go to 'File -> Install Extension' from the drop-down menu at the top (and navigate towards the .mxp file).
Otherwise, download the Photoshop Template for CS2 or CS3 and following the installation instructions here.
Once installed, the plugin files for CS2/CS3 are identical to those for CS4 or higher, only the method of packing the files (.zip vs .mxp) differs.

Re: PS4 Extension

Thanks for this but I don't know what you mean by the "shortcut'.
Also the link for the installation instructions doesn't work.
I'm on a Mac OSX 10.8.2

Re: PS4 Extension

Just try opening Adobe Extension Manager first and then go to 'File -> Install Extension' from the drop-down menu at the top (and navigate towards the .mxp file).
I have fixed the link in my previous post. (The instructions for installing the CS2/CS3 version are on the Photoshop Template page.)
