Photoshop 2023 Plugin Folder

[Helen Drewski]

Afterupdating Photoshop to the lastest version a few weeks ago, my Alien Skin Exposure X3 filter is not longer available. I am trying to reinstall the plugin but cannot find the plugin folder for Photoshop 2023. All I can find is the folder for older versions (Photoshop 2022).

Most current plug-ins should install to the "Shared Creative Cloud Location" which gives all versions of Photoshop access to your plug-ins. If you're manually dragging them into the "Version specific location" they won't load in a new version of Photoshop you install.

If I understand well, the recommended location for plugin installation is now C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CC. However, plugin installers are supposed to look at the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Photoshop\ PluginPath registry value in order to determine in which folder the plugin should be installed. And this value is still pointing to the "old" location (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC \Plug-Ins\), even for the latest PS CC versions. So many plugin developers continue to install in the old location.

I'm talking from a developer's point of view. C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CC is the new common folder recommended by Adobe where PS plugin installers should store their modules. All my plugins are installed there. Some because I moved them to this folder manually, others because the plugin installer correctly copied the plugin modules to that folder.

No that is where Adobe Camera Raw is installed. On Windows the default folder where Plug-in are installed depend on which version of Photoshop you are running. Every version of Photoshop has their own plug-in folder. And your plug-ins need to be install into every version of Photoshop you use. Adobe installers do not migrate your Plug-ins into new versions of Photoshop. When Possible I install Plug-in in my own Plug-in threes the are two a 32Bit tree and a 64bit tree. I link Photoshop version Plug-in folders to my plug in folders so 32bit install all use the same 32bit plug-in and all 64bit installs use the same 64bit plug-ins.

The code of the plugin installer should look at the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Photoshop\ PluginPath registry value and that value should reflect the plugin path for the installed version of PS.

From a developer point of view that is one of the common shared plug-in folders that Adobe applications like Bridge, Photoshop and maybe other share common plug-ins. The are sub folders for Adobe software versions. if you follow the tree's paths you will see currently only Adobe Camera Raw raw plug-ins are installed in there. The Plug-in folder you show is foe 64Bit Plug-ins. Third Party Plug-ins are not installed in there. Ther are many Plug-ins folders and I doe not know the exact search orders Photoshop and Bridge versions use. I link my plug-ins folders to Photoshop version normal tthird party plug-in folders

Actually, I'd like to obtain accurate instructions from Adobe about this. This a very messy situation. The PS SDK doesn't provide any information about what should go where (unless I missed something obvious).

I hope you get one from Adobe. Users here do not have access to Adobe Code. No matter the search on windows will vary between installs. There is a 32Bit Photoshop Install and a 64Bit Photoshop install and each Photoshop version install has plug-in folders the that are only used by that version's install they are not shared between versions. Folders may contain the same file in different versions of Photoshop but the folders are not the same file are not shared between version. except for Adobe Camer Raw and still there four version of Adobe Camera RAW.

I've got a third-party developer question :) Is there a way for 3rd party Photoshop Plugin developers to autodetect the default Plugins folder for Affinity Photo? We'd love to make our plugin installers compatible with Affinity Photo, so users don't have to jump through hoops to make plugins work.

Hi, we don't store data in the registry for the application, when the user adds a directory we store it in settings in %APPDATA%. Also, there is a Plugins folder in there that users can place plugins into, but it's not a suitable place to install to as it's per-user. Perhaps we could add something in the future to support this.

Having the default path available (or perhaps being able to add an additional path to the registry, though this may be a security risk) will make it possible to support Affinity with plug-in installers automatically.
