Hi

I am having problems getting the Photoshop plugins to get to Photoshop. I get told that I need to define the path which I have done. I suspect that the problem deals with the fact that I have Adobes online version of the program.
THE plugins are:
Light Dome Pro
Photoshop 3D bridge for Studio 4.6?

Any ideas? Or is there a manual fix?

TIA!

Fred:-)

    If you are using Photoshop CC on Windows then the Bridge won't work, I'm not sure about Light Dome Pro-R

    Thanks!

    I wonder if the various Photoshop offerings are a waste of time then.

    They are currently working on getting the Bridge to work with CC versions of Photoshop, as noted in the change log

    Light Dome Pro should work with CC as they're only Photoshop actions. It does not render straight to Photoshop, but rather to a folder with a series of images. You use the actions within Photoshop to compile the separate images into a single image. There are other actions for mood/coloring/etc, but I don't do much with those as I have my own methods already.

    Hi:

    I get thee same error with Dome that I get with the bridge. I have defined the Adobe folder like the installer asks for. But it doesn't seem to like it.

    It sounds like an awesome program if I can get it to work.

    I've been absent from the various digital programs for awhile because of medical issues, so I am back to a learning curve again.

    Thanks for the info though. I am going to go through the windows fies and see if it is an issue with my version of Win 8.

    For LDP's actions, just download the zip file for them and manually place them into your Actions folder for Photoshop. You'll find the zips in My Account > Product Library here on the site (or just go to the folder DIM downloads to and use that zip- you only need the actions, none of the manifest files or anything). The install for the LDP product itself (lights/camera/dome/etc) don't need Photoshop's path since nothing gets installed to it from that zip.

    Personally I wouldn't let DIM handle installs for software outside of Daz's own software.

    I have installed it via DIM and had no problems. But you are right, some plugins and also some brush sets (some of Rons) do not like Photoshop CC.
    Luckily there is a little trick to make Photoshop CC and DIM work together perfectly. All you have to do is:

    When you set the application path to Photoshop CC in DIM (Applications), set the correct path to Photoshop CC, but for the used version simply tell DIM that you are using "CS6". Then you have no problems at all and everything installs fine :-)
