To use these plug-ins, run Photoshop CS5 as a 32-bit application. When you are done using the plug-ins, return to working in Photoshop CS5 as a 64-bit application.
Run Photoshop CS5 in 32-bit and 64-bit modes
To run Photoshop CS5 on Mac OS as a 32-bit application, do the following:
- Select the Adobe Photoshop CS5 application file, installed by default in the Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS5 folder.
- Choose File > Get Info, and select Open in 32-Bit Mode.
Select Open In 32-Bit Mode. Deselect this option to run Photoshop CS5 in 64-bit mode.
Troubleshoot Plug-ins
Many older third-party plug-ins run in 32-bit mode in Photoshop CS5. Remember, many of these older plug-ins may not be fully compatible with Photoshop CS5. It's recommended that you contact the plug-in manufacturer to determine if there's an updated version for compatibility with Photoshop CS5.
To determine if a plug-in causes an error or crash, see Troubleshoot plug-ins (Photoshop CS5 and CS4).
