Selecting Plug-Ins
The Plug-ins preferences give you the ability to organize your plug-ins by saving them in one or more folders. These additional folders are typically used to hold third-party plug-ins. When selected, plug-ins contained within the folder will be available from Photoshop’s Filter menu. Organizing your plug-ins into folders helps keep your projects focused and reduces the clutter of plug-ins when you select them from the Filter menu.
Work with Plug-Ins Options
- Click the Edit (Win) or Photoshop (Mac) menu, and then point to Preferences.
- Click Plug-Ins.
- Select the Additional Plug-Ins Folder check box if you have additional plug-ins stored outside the default Photoshop plug-ins folder.
- If you change the location of your additional plug-ins folder, you can always click Choose and navigate to it.
- Choose options for Extension Panels. (New!)
Check Allow Extensions to Connect to the Internet and/or Load Extension Panels if you want to use new features such as Kuler or Connections. (New!)
- Click OK.
