i just cs5 and albit a great improvement to the CS i was using-somethings are eluding me
main thing right now is adding plug-ins namly alien skin collection
previously i was able to just drop the plug in in the folder and it was available but this time it seems not so easy. i tryied instlling it directly into the plug-in folder first which lead me to other atempts. thus far i have or tried with xenofex 2. i have tried adding addition plug-ins feature but was not sure which folder to select so i tried a few but to no avail

my system:
OS :win7

any ideas?
thanx in advance

Are you running 64-bit CS5? The alien skin plugins don't all run in 64 bit yet - Xenofex is one of these, so is the eye candy collection.

If this isn't the case, you might find more answers on the alien skin forum, http://forum.alienskin.com/.

yeah running 64
 i was wondering that because i read that on there site- seems the one i tried was one of the ones that didnt work with 64
so if i run 32 bit PS then then xeno should work? if so what folder should i put it in- the common or the 64bit?

thanx

i will try eye candy those are the ones i really want to use xeno was just a perk

I haven't got CS5, but on CS4 the 32-bit version of Photoshop installs into program files(x86)/adobe/adobe photoshop cs4, and the 64-bit version goes into program files/adobe/adobe photoshop cs4 (64 bit). In each case the plugins go into the plug-ins folder of that directory. They don't (at least on my system) go into the common files folder.

But if you do put them there, I guess it would be program files(x86)/common files/adobe/plug-ins/cs5 for the 32-bit version and the equivalent folder in the program files/common files hierarchy for the 64-bit version.

cool thank you for your help
this 64bit is tricky because it is so new- takes some getting used to
