Do You Want What's Missing from Photoshop CS5?

By , About.com GuideAugust 11, 2010

Follow me on:

In case you didn't know it, some things from previous Photoshop versions have been removed from the standard installation of Photoshop CS5, and are not being included on the installation discs. If you want these extra items back in your Photoshop CS5 program, you will have to download the Optional Plugins package from Adobe and follow the (rather confusing, in my opinion) instructions on manual installation.

I hoped that this package would resolve the Windows 64-bit scanning issue in Photoshop, but I have still not been able to figure out how to scan directly into Photoshop CS5 64-bit Windows version. If you know the secret, please enlighten the rest of us in the comments. I was told this was resolved in CS5, but this document from Adobe seems to contradict what I was told in the Photoshop CS5 product briefing.

At any rate, here's a summary of the Optional Plugin package contents:

The following plug-ins and associated files are included in this package:


* Photoshop CS5 Optional plugins ReadMe
* Picture Package (ContactSheetII)
* ExtractPlus (Windows-only)
* PatternMaker
* PhotomergeUI
* Web Photo Gallery (WebContactSheetII) plus presets
* Script for Layer Comps to Web Photo Gallery
* Texture presets for Texturizer
* TWAIN

Additional file formats:
* Alias
* ElectricImage
* SGIRGB
* SoftImage

Additional extensions (Mac only):
* DisableGetInfoComment
* DisableScratchCompress
* DisableVMBuffering
* Force VM Compression
* Force VM Buffering
* RememberSlowFiles
* Unlimited Clipboard Size
* Unlimited Preview Size

Additional plugins:
* HSBHSL
* Overscroll Always (Mac only)
* Overscroll Floating Windows (Mac only)
* DisableDragBoundingBox (Mac only)

Hello
May I ask.

I am quite distraught. I finally upgraded from a Vista & Laptop Vista to a 24″ Mon with a PC & WIN7. Most of the PS filters I used for many years are not working anymore in PS CS5

VM distortion/ experimental/ Extravaganza/ Instant Art/ Natural/
Graphics plus/ RCS Filter pak 1.0/ Filter Forge pak 1-3 /
Alf’s Border FX/ Alf’s Power tools/ MuRa’s seamless

Where can I get online the same filters for CS5 ?
Thank you.

Tor: I suspect your new computer is 64-bit in which case, this should answer your question: http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/photoshoptroubleshooting/f/Plugins-In-Photoshop-64-Bit.htm
