Harald-
Today I decided to try Photoshop again and this time Contrast Master appeared in the filter list and now it works. I didn't do anything since last time but am glad that it is OK. Sorry for all the messages and inconvenience.

More Information- When I run CM in Illustrator CS3, I get the "spinning clock" indicator instead of the rotating beach ball indicator when the machine in working. According to my Mac Expert this means that the application (e.g. Plug-In) is not written to the latest Mac specifications. The "spinning ...

I never had the demo installed so that is not the issue. I have CM installed in the same Photoshop CS3 Plug In folder as BWStyler and they both show the same file properties. However CM does not show up in Photoshop CS3. As an afterthought I tried to install CM in Illustrator CS3 and there it appear...

Harald-
I have yet to be able to get the CM Plug In to appear in Photoshop.
Are you working on this issue or should we wait and see if others have this problem? Either way is OK, just let me know.
Thanks,
Mike

I just downloaded and installed it again and I get the same result.
If there is anything else I can do to help you troubleshoot this issue, just let me know. I am using the latest Mac Pro with dual quad processors and the latest version of the operating system.
Mike

Both ContrastMaster and BWStyler show up in the Photoshop CS3 Folder and when I press "get info" for each, they both say "You can read and write". They are both located in /Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS3/Plug-Ins.
I have to conclude that there is a problem in the ContrastMaster software.
Mike

So that confirms the problem since the version of BWStyler that I am running is "BWStylerCS3Intel.dmg". So "ContrastMasterCS3Intel.dmg" should work fine, however it does not.
I couldn't possibly be in Rosetta mode.
Mike

I have yet to find a Rosetta check box in the Finder or in the operating system. Would I be able to run BWStyler if I had Rosetta activated? BWStyler works fine!
Mike

I did exactly what you said. I installed the Intel version of ContrastMaster, I am running an Intel-Mac, I installed ContrastMaster into the Plug-Ins sub folder of the Photoshop CS3 folder, and the ContrastMaster files I mentioned are located there. So ContrastMaster should appear in Photoshop, but ...

Harald- Now I am really confused. There is no mention of Rosetta Mode in any of the Photoshop CS3 documentation. Why does BWStyler work just fine. And I still don't understand why there are no .ini files in the installation. I do not want to also buy CS2 when I just bought CS3. I think there is a pr...

Harald-
I did specify the CS3 plug-in folder and the files I listed are the only ones that it loaded in the CS3 folder.
It just doesn't work. Are these the correct files?
Mike

I just purchased, downloaded and tried to install CM on my Intel Mac Pro and it does not show up under Filter/Photo Wiz. I am using Photoshop CS3. A few weeks ago I installed BWStyler and it installed correctly. I compared the installed files between BWStyler and CM, and discovered the following: BW...

I am planning to buy a MacPro and using it for Imaging. I am presently using the PC versions of FocalBlade, BWStyler, LightMachine,..etc. Will I have to buy all new plug ins?
Thanks.

The installation instructions for Color Washer 2.02 say to uninstall the old version first. When I try to do this using the uninstall feature of Windows XP, it askes me whether I want to uninstall Light Machine (not the old color washer). How do I uninstall the old version?
Mike

That should take care of my problem, Thanks. It might help to clarify this in the manual.
Mike Bergen

Harald- Thanks for the quick response. I tried what you suggested but this creates a problem. It appears that after setting the brightness and contrast adjustments for the first spot, one can not use other brightness/contrast settings for any other spots. All one can change on other spots are the ma...
