Question: The 3D Transform Filter is missing in Photoshop CS. How do I access it?

Answer: The 3D Transform filter is no longer installed with the default installation of Photoshop CS, however, it is still available on the Photoshop CD. To install it, go to your original installation CD (for the Creative Suite, this is the "Resources and Extras" CD. Browse to: Goodies\Photoshop CS\Optional Plug-Ins\Filters on the CD and copy the "3D Transform.8BF" file into X:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS\Plug-Ins\Filters where "X" is the drive letter where Photoshop is installed. You will need to close and reopen Photoshop for the filter to become available. Then you should find the filter under Filter > Render> 3D Transform.

Note: If you purchased Photoshop CS as a download, the 3D Transform filter is not included. If your purchase was an upgrade, you may be able to find the filter from your previous version and copy it to Photoshop CS as instructed above.
