  Hi, I’m running Mac OS X Leopard, fully updated, Photoshop CS 4 and Photoshop Elements 6
  I’ve installed Alien Skin Plugins into Photoshop CS 4, first I tried just installing into the plugins folder (where Alien Skin creates it’s own folders with the various plugins) and then I also tried creating a 2nd Plugins Folder (plugins 2 – added that folder in CS 4’s preferences), but still Photoshop doesn’t read the plugins.

  It should be under Filters?
  Don’t know what I’m doing wrong, I’ve tried it with Elements 6 as well.

  I upgraded last week and had to figure it out for Alien Skin and another plug-in.

  I found the Alien Skin folder in the CS3 setup and just copied it to the same place in the CS4 folder.

  Eg. Macintosh HD > Applications > Adobe Photoshop CS4 > Plug-ins
  then restarted PS I think

  It was greyed out initially as CS4 was set to cymk, but I just changed it to rgb and all was fine.

  Edit: I’m on a Mac too.

  Strange, I have it in the right place, but still nothing, a bit frustrating really.
