Footnotes

Does not work on Mac OSX with Photoshop CS5
You can create an empty layer above a Smart Object and then use PhotoFrame
There is a known defect in PhotoFrame 4.5 when using Photoshop CS5 under Mac
OSX where PhotoFrame may be used on a Smart Object, but is incorrectly labeled as a SmartFilter, which it is not.
PhotoTools is applied to a rasterized copy of the target layer.

The effect is not applying to the image when using FocalPoint 2 (Mac only)

We have identified this issue only occurs when running Apple’s latest OS X 10.6.4. We have released an updated version which can be found on our software updates page.

NOTE:

Plug-in Suite owners, please make sure to download the Plug-in 5.1.1 update.
FocalPoint 2 owners, please make sure to download the FocalPoint 2.0.2 update.

How to access the plug-ins in Photoshop

psmith — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 19:05:43 +0000

These instructions show how to access the onOne Plug-ins from Adobe Photoshop CS2, CS3, CS4, CS5, and Adobe Photoshop Elements.

The first step is to make sure you have an image open in Adobe Photoshop before attempting to access any of the onOne Software plug-ins.

Adobe Photoshop CS4 and CS5

There are two ways to access the onOne Software plug-ins when using Adobe Photoshop CS4 and CS5.

NOTE: The onOne menu will NOT be available in the top menu bar in Photoshop. We have had a few customers report they are also not able to access the plug-ins from the onOne panel. We are investigating this issue and are working with Adobe to get this resolved. The workaround is to use the File > Automate menu (instructions below).

Option 1: Launch the onOne Panel – Go to the Window menu and choose Extensions > onOne

Option 2: Go to the File > Automate Menu

________________________________________________________________________________

Adobe Photoshop CS2 and CS3

There are three different ways to access the plug-ins when using Adobe Photoshop CS2 and CS3.

Option 1: Launch the plug-ins from the onOne menu

Option 2: Go to the File > Automate Menu (See File > Automate image above)

Option 3: Go to Filter > onOne

________________________________________________________________________________

Adobe Photoshop Elements

There is only one way access the plug-ins when using Adobe Photoshop Elements. Please make sure to open an image in ‘Edit’ mode and then go to File > Automation Tools.

I receive an error the license is incorrect or invalid (-22)

The first thing to check is to make sure you do not enter in the dashes, also, do not copy/paste the number into the field. This will cause errors.

If the above steps do not work and the error message still shows, this can only mean the product you are trying to activate does not match the corresponding license you have purchased. We have both Professional and Standard editions with some our software. If the wrong version is installed it will not activate with your license.

For example, a Plug-in Suite serial number will not work with the individual products updates or installers

Another example would be if you tried to activate Genuine Fractals Professional Edition with the Standard Edition license.

Also, if you have downloaded any onOne Software demo products, they can interfere with your activation as well.

We suggest uninstalling everything onOne on your computer and reinstalling the exact program you have purchased. Once you have the correct version installed, you will not have a problem activating your product.

Which products are compatible with Adobe Photoshop CS5?

The plug-ins are missing after installing into Adobe Photoshop CS4

psmith — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 17:21:33 +0000

The first thing to check is to make sure Photoshop was closed during installation of the plug-in. If not, simply restart Photoshop. Once Photoshop is open, please go to Window > Extenstions > onOne

This will open the onOne panel giving you access to your product. Just open an image in Photoshop and choose your plug-in from the onOne panel. The onOne panel is only available for the latest versions of our products running in Adobe Photoshop CS4 (Plug-in Suite 5, Genuine Fractals 6 Standard and Professional Edition, PhotoTools 2.5 Standard and Professional Edition, PhotoFrame 4.5 Standard and Professional Edition, PhotoTune 3, FocalPoint 2, and Mask Pro 4.1.7) .

The plug-ins are not showing in the onOne palette – Non-English Operating Systems

psmith — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 23:30:00 +0000

Unfortunately, the onOne palette is only compatible with operating systems in English. The palette is not available for non-English operating systems.

Only the video tutorials are showing after installing the plug-in – Windows only

psmith — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 22:52:39 +0000

Please make sure the latest version of Microsoft.net framework 3.5 installed along with Visual Studio 2008.

Please click here to download and install Microsoft.net Framework 3.5

Please click here to download and install Visual Studio 2008

These are “helper” files needed from Windows (XP, Vista, and 7) for our programs to work properly. In most cases, the Microsoft updates usually install these two files.

I am receiving a message with the onOne Library and a RED X – Windows only

psmith — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 22:43:35 +0000

Here is the error window you will see:

Please close all of your applications currently open (Photoshop, etc). To remove this error message, please remove the following two files which are parts to the onOne Library:

onOne Library.dll
onOne Library.acel.8bx

These two files help create the onOne menu. These files are in the following location:
Windows: \Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Plug-Ins

Please see notes below regarding this issue.

There is an issue with the onOne products when used in Adobe Photoshop CS4 on Windows. This issue causes some of the pop-up menus found within Photoshop CS4 to not appear correctly on screen – the menu items work but the icon for the menus do not appear consistently.

Please note that there is an incompatibility with the Windows version of Photoshop CS4 and the onOne menu. When installing any of these updates for the Windows version of Photoshop CS4, the onOne menu may not be present, as you have seen in the past. If you do not see the onOne menu, you can access the plug-ins from either the Filter > onOne menu or from the File > Automate menu.

The onOne menu will be phased out going forward. Our latest products (Plug-in Suite 5, Genuine Fractals 6.0.4, PhotoTools 2.5, PhotoFrame 4.5, Phototune 3, Mask Pro 4.1.7 and FocalPoint 2) include the onOne panel. To launch the onOne panel, please open Photoshop and then open an image. Go to Window > Extensions > onOne. This will open the onOne panel giving you access to the plug-ins.
