How to install Photoshop Plugins in Photoshop
There are a couple of ways to install plug-ins into Photoshop:
Finding your Photoshop plug-ins folder
The Photoshop plug-ins folder is a sub-folder of your Photoshop folder, so if you can find where Photoshop is installed, you can find the folder. It's probably something like:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop 7.0\Plug-ins\
If you're having trouble finding it, click on the "Search For Files Or Folders" option in your Windows Start menu. Then do a search for files or folders named "Plug-ins" (make sure you spell it as typed here, without the quotes). You should get a list of folders, and one of them is your Photoshop plug-ins folder.
Once you've found your plug-ins folder, try installing the plug-in again. Most installers have a screen that let you choose which folder to install it into. You should choose the Photoshop plug-ins folder you found above. The next time you run Photoshop, the plug-in should be listed.
Setting up your additional Photoshop plug-ins folder
Another option is to tell Photoshop to look in the folder where you have installed your plugins. In Photoshop, choose the Edit -> Preferences -> Plug-Ins & Scratch Disks menu option (illustrated on the left).
On the next screen (illustrated below), make sure that the Additional Plug-Ins Folder option is checked. Then click on the Choose button, and browse for the folder where your Photoshop plug-ins were installed. You can use this option to point to a plug-ins folder that is shared between all the graphics programs on your computer.
You'll now need to quit Photoshop and restart it. The next time you run Photoshop, the plug-in should be listed.
