| Have you seen my filters?
\:]
1. First thing to check is the location of the filters folder.
It should be under:
Applications > Photoshop > Plug-ins > Filters.
Applications > Photoshop > Plug-ins >Effects.
All the standard filters should be located here, about 29 & 47 items respectively with the standard PS install.
2. If you have additional filters installed, you should direct PS to them from: (Main menu)
Photoshop > Preferences > Plug-ins & Scratch Disks.
Check the button and follow the route through your directory to where-ever that folder is located.
3. Look in the PS prefs:
Users > You > Library > Preferences >Adobe Photoshop Settings >
There should be a set of preferences for PS and also one for Plug-in Cache. (As well as half a dozen others)
These can sometimes become corrupted.
Delete these two files and relaunch PS. They will be recreated automatically.
4. What version of OSX are you running? The latest is 10.3.4 and you should update as soon as possible.
Also, which version of Photoshop? If you have version 7, there are updates and fixes on the Adobe website download section.
Some of these were specifically for OSX. You should see v.7.0.1 at the bottom of the PS splash screen if it is up to date.
5. Finally, have you run any of the OSX routines for permissions etc.
You can run these and others from a neat utility called Cocktail or use the Disk Utility when booted from the OSX installer CD.
Check that lot out and let me know how you get on.
Cheers, Al.
