Photoshop Elements 4

[fasmom]

I'm having problems installing plugins in PSE4. i put them in the plugins folder (PSE4 is not open) but when I open PSE4 they don't appear. I've tried rebooting computer, etc. but nothing seems to work. They worked fine in my PSE3.

Help please.....
Thanks in advance

Which plugins?

[fasmom]

Thanks for getting back to me. I really appreciate it. I'm having problems with Vizros Curl, Horizonaus Stripes are In, Distort, Optikverbs virtualPhotographer. They are all filters I used for creating elements for scrapbooking kits.But now I can't get them to work no matter where I put them. I have a few others as well but haven't tried to install them because none seem to work other than the ones that came with PSE4 other than one set I have called "Simple Filters" by Alexander Blair (I think) I finally got it to work.

Thanks so much. I appreciate any help you can give me.

Please check if these plugins really are in the Plug-Ins sub folder of the Photoshop Elements folder.

Like the other poster in this thread I, too, am experiencing difficulties with plug-ins and PhotoShop Elements 4. It appears as if PSE4 has a maximum number of plug-ins that it will install in any one session; if I move some of my plug-ins to a temporary "holding" folder others in my collection will install and be available.

I also rely upon PSP9 and have previously used earlier versions of PSP and PSE and have never seen this before. In those applications I may use any and all plug-ins that are in the applicable folder.

It's possible to "point" PSE4 to one other plug-ins folder (through Preferences) but again only a portion of the plug-ins in my collection will appear in the list of filters when PSE4 is running.

Even if the plug-ins are installed in the Plug-ins subfolder in PSE4 they will not appear if all are placed there. It just seems as if there is a limit on this and I've never seen this before in any of my other graphics apps and I cannot find any confirmation anywhere from Adobe, etc.
