Adobe Photoshop Help Using Help | Contents | Index Looking at the Work Area Back 58 To exit Photoshop or ImageReady: 1 Choose File > Exit (Windows) or File > Quit (Mac OS). 2 Choose whether or not to save any open files: • Click Yes (Windows) or Save (Mac OS) for each open file to save the file. • Click No (Windows) or Don't Save (Mac OS) for each open file to close the file without saving it. Using plug-in modules Plug-in modules are software programs developed by Adobe Systems and by other software developers in conjunction with Adobe Systems to add features to Photoshop and ImageReady. A number of importing, exporting, and special-effects plug-ins come with your program; they are automatically installed in folders inside the Photoshop Plug-ins folder. You can select an additional plug-ins folder to use compatible plug-ins stored with another application.You can also create a shortcut (Windows) or an alias (Mac OS) for a plug-in stored in another folder on your system.You can then add the shortcut or alias to the Plug-ins folder to use that plug-in with Photoshop and ImageReady. Once installed, plug-in modules appear as options added to the Import or Export menu; as file formats in the Open, Save As, and Export Original (ImageReady) dialog boxes; or as filters in the Filter submenus. Photoshop and ImageReady can accommodate a large number of plug-ins. However, if the number of installed plug-in modules becomes great enough, Photoshop or ImageReady may not be able to list all the plug-ins in their appropriate menus. Newly installed plug-ins will then appear in the Filter > Other submenu. To install an Adobe Systems plug-in module: Do one of the following: • Use the plug-in installer, if provided. • (Windows) Copy the module into the appropriate Plug-ins folder in the Photoshop program folder. Make sure that the files are uncompressed. • (Mac OS) Drag a copy of the module to the appropriate Plug-ins folder in the Photoshop program folder. Make sure that the files are uncompressed. Important: For Macintosh, the plug-ins that come with Photoshop 7.0 are compatible with both Mac OS 9.x and Mac OS X. However, any plug-in originally intended to work on Mac OS 9, such as plug-ins from previous versions of Photoshop and some third-party plug-ins, can only be used on Mac OS 9.x or in the Classic environment on Mac OS X. You can place such plug-ins in the Plug-ins folder for the Mac OS X version of Photoshop, but they will not appear unless you launch Photoshop in the Classic environment. To install a third-party plug-in module: Follow the installation instructions that came with the plug-in module. If you cannot run a third-party plug-in, the plug-in may require a legacy Photoshop serial number. Using Help | Contents | Index Back 58
