Sorry, should have shown you all of the contents of this folder -it's attached here - no Topaz Labs.

One last point. PS is NOT in the standard applications folder.

Hello, I was able to move the PS Elements plugin folder to the PS plugin folder, and I was up and running. Thanks for asking.

I was just trying to share with you and others the problem I had. I rechecked my library/application support area - and included a snapshot here. Am I missing something? This folder is a bit sparse, as it's my Admin id, which is the ID I used to install Simplify, since I know it doesn't work with regular user id privileges.

Hello, I should have stated - this issue is related to Simplify. Not Adjust.

Mac install is confusing

Simplify Install - Mac version. I had difficulty installing the sw for PS CS3. After looking at the log, I realized that the installation was automatically putting it in my PS Elements 4 plugin subdirectory, not my Photoshop CS3 subdirectory. Can you please add some sort of option during the install that allows me to select the subdir where my app is?

Also, I was confused with the release notes that talk about files being put in the library/application support subdirectory. I didn't see any there. Am I missing something?

Finally, I'd like to again comment that I would really like to see this application be able to handle install by a regular user account - that is, ask me for my admin id/psw, and then let me install the sw. But, don't make me go log into my admin account just to install the sw.

fanatix started following the question "editing the drop widget" in drop.io.

fanatix started following the question "Drop.io Managed Solutions - Annual plans with discounts?" in drop.io.

fanatix started following the idea "Possible to customize message on the hidden upload page?" in drop.io.

adjust

One suggestion I have for Topaz Adjust is the ability to size the plug-in window every time it comes up. I have a large monitor, and I would really like to be able to size the window so that it fills most of my monitor - any way you can offer some sort of preference that allows this sort of thing?

As an aside, after using the trial for a few weeks, I purchased my Mac copy and I'm thrilled with the sw! I was looking for a more reasonably priced sw that does effects that resemble Lucis sw. And the effects Topaz Adjust offers me are just what I was looking for. Love the new presets like Spicify that you recently released.

Eric, thank you for your reply. I did try to install the plug-in using my Admin user-id, and then the plug started working.

I normally install software using my regular Mac user-id, and Mac software I've installed in the past normally just prompts me for my admin id/psw when it's writing to areas that my regular user-id doesn't have access to. The installer did prompt me, and told me the installation was successful; hence my confusion. I think this type of installation should be supported.

BTW, so far, the software looks fantastic! I've been searching for a lucis look alike this week and found your product via plugandpixels.com.

cannot install mac trial version

Am attempting to install Topaz Adjust trial for mac. The installation appears to go ok.
I open Photoshop, click on Filters, and I see the Topaz Adjust function. I then click on it, and I receive the following error "Could not complete the Topaz Adjust command because -- Topaz Labs' plug-ins cannot find a trial or permanent license. .."

I have installed this multiple times, to no avail. I have tried two different licenses, to no avail. Can you please tell me how to resolve this issue? I have entered my name, company, and the correct serial number given.

I'm running iMac Intel dual core and CS3. My CS3 app is under a subfolder of the standard Applications folder, and I customized the installation to look for plugins in the custom plugins folder.
