Install a plug‑in module

In Mac OS, you cannot run Photoshop in the Classic environment. Plug‑ins originally intended to work on Mac OS 9 won’t appear.

Do one of the following:

To install an Adobe Systems plug‑in module, use the plug‑in installer, if provided. In Windows, you can also install or copy the module into the appropriate Plug‑ins folder in the Photoshop program folder. In Mac OS, drag a copy of the module to the appropriate Plug‑Ins folder in the Photoshop program folder. Make sure that the files are uncompressed.
To install a third-party plug‑in module, follow the installation instructions that came with the plug‑in module. If you cannot run a third-party plug‑in, it may require a legacy Photoshop serial number.

I really need to make my older 5.5 files work in Classic or CS3. These
directions make no sense.

Where are these plugs in located?
Where is the plugin installer located?
Which is the "appropriate Plug-ins folder"? the old PS or the new CS3?

Try looking in the plugin folder for 5.0 I think that is what they are telling you.

What does "the appropriate Plug‑Ins folder" mean? Useless phrase if you
ask me. Especially when all you want to know is how to install a plugin.

Under Macintosh OSX using Photoshop CS3, why not make your own
plugins folder wherever you like? Simply create a folder and (remembering
where you created it) connect it up:

1. Photoshop>Preferences>Plug-Ins
2. Check the 'Additional Plug-Ins Folder' tick box.
3.Click the 'Choose' button to select your own plugins folder. To me it makes
sense to create this folder in your OSX home directory (easy for backing up
later).
