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 appro-
priate 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.
