I agree. I have PS 7.0 and CS4. Both open. I thought I still had PS
5.0, but that must have remained on the old computer.

So you have re engineered Adobe's advice.

I only use OnOne for the wrap on canvas prints. This needs to be
accurate so I measure the frame first resize image then apply wrap.

yes I have had two versions running unfortunately for some reason not
this time.

Till I can sort all the plugins out was intending to use both versions.
I didn't want to interrupt my work flow so abruptly. Adding what became
necessary as I progress along the learning curve.


My computer file system is in a mess as to where the original programmes
have been stored folders/sub folders new/updates etc. Although not that
bad. So are on a backup HDD. This computer has an accumulation of over
two years stuff.

I have actions to sort as well.

For some strange reason, I trust the conclusion drawn by Adobe, more
than yours. Why do y0ou suppose that is?

because you don't understand what it is you're reading.

all adobe is saying is it's safest to reinstall. that's true, it is the
safest.

that doesn't mean that other methods will result in problems. they
*might*, but they probably won't.

as i said, dragging plug-ins from one folder to another is all that's
needed most of the time, and in the event a plug-in doesn't work after
dragging, you can reinstall *that* particular one. no need to reinstall
all of them if you don't have to.

but if you want to play it safe and make more work for yourself, feel
free to reinstall everything. it won't hurt.
