Adobe Photoshop CC removes the Additional Plug-Ins Folder

I couldn’t locate the option in Photoshop, so I started searching and found the answer on one of Adobe’s Blogs.

Note: we removed the option in preferences to point to a “Additional Plug-Ins Folder” in Photoshop CC as it caused more problems than it solved.

Now here is something I completely don’t agree with as this folder made it so much easier to upgrade versions, as you could keep your 3rd party plug ins in a separate folder, and just point the new version at them. SO MUCH EASIER THAN HAVING TO GO THROUGH YOUR PLUG INS FOLDER EVER UPGRADE AND MIGRATE STUFF! Annoying adobe, very annoying!

Adobe Creative Cloud doesn’t work for me at all!

In fact, the only application in the entire suite that will launch is Bridge CC. Every single app has a different problem when it launches, but none of them will launch.

Premiere Pro has dynamiclinkmanager quit again and again and again, so often that I can’t do anything until I can manage to force quit Premiere.
Photoshop launches quickly, but then sends me to a broken web site, and freezes and starts the dynamiclinkmanager quitting.
After Effects says it can’t change the name of some file and quits!
I have restarted, fixed permissions, logged in and out of Creative Cloud, run Diskwarrior and Tech Tool Pro, and no joy.
And with my 72 hour work week, I don’t have time to call Adobe right now and talk to their incomprehensible Indian Tech Support.
I run a MacPro 4,1 running the latest OS 10.8.4, and CS6 runs just fine. Did they even test CC? WTF! Why am I am a member of Creative Cloud? They better fix this fast!

Piccure Camera Shake Reduction Plug in Beta

Petapixel has an article on the beta of the new Piccure Camera Shake Reduction Plug in that you can download for free for 14 days to try to give feedback. Looks pretty amazing, I am looking forward to giving it a go. Be interesting to see if it is better than Adobe’s own solution which is coming with the next cloud version of creative cloud.

Check it out at their web site.

onOne Announced Perfect Photo Suite 7.5

Photoshop Support has the news on the newly announced Perfect Photo Suite 7.5, which will be free to current users, $199.95 for the Premium Edition and $99.95 for the Lightroom and Aperature Edition.

I see this as a must have plug in for all photographers and photoshop users. They give upgrades for large updates and the program is always reasonably priced!
