v3 Using With Photoshop and Other Tools

My plug-ins have disappeared!

Due to a recent update to Adobe Creative Cloud the location for plug-ins has changed. If you get this problem, simply re-run the full installer for LandscapePro and your plug-in will be restored. If you don’t have the installer, please get it from our license manager page.

How do I install the Photoshop plug-in?

Please note that only the Studio and Studio Max editions of LandscapePro can work as a Photoshop plugin.

This is done by running the program PhotoshopPluginInstaller, which you can find in the installation folder for LandscapePro. Alternatively you can run the installer for LandscapePro to re-install everything, including the plug-in.

The plug-in installer will detect what version of Photoshop you have installed, and automatically find the Plug-Ins folder for you. However, if the correct place is not detected you can manually browse to the Plug-Ins folder of the Photoshop version you want to use. Please make sure to check that the installation folder that LandscapePro gives you is correct for the version of Photoshop that you want to use.

On a Mac, the Photoshop CS6 Plug-In directory is normally:

/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS6/Plug-Ins

For Windows, the Photoshop CS6 Plug-in folder is normally

64-bit plug-in: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 bit)\Plug-Ins
32-bit plug-in: C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Plug-Ins

On a Mac, this is usually where to find Photoshop CS6:

/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS6

For Windows, this is usually where to find Photoshop CS6:

64-bit plug-in: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 bit)
32-bit plug-in: C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6

Photoshop needs to be restarted before it will use a new plug-in. When the plug-in is installed, you can see it in Photoshop by selecting the Filter menu option. Look down the list of filters and at the end will an entry “Anthropics”. Choose this and you will see it expand to show the LandscapePro plug-in.

How do I get LandscapePro to work as a plug-in to Lightroom?

To set up LandscapePro as an external editor for Lightroom, please follow these steps:

Windows:

  • Open Lightroom and in the menu go to Edit->Preferences…
  • In the “Additional External Editor” section, press the “Choose” button on the right for choosing the application. A new dialog will pop up asking for the location of the program to run. LandscapePro is usually located at “C:\Program Files\LandscapePro Studio 2\LandscapePro.exe” or if you have a 64 bit Windows it might be in “C:\Program Files (x86)\LandscapePro Studio 2\LandscapePro.exe” depending on whether you installed the 32 bit or 64 bit download. Try pasting in these paths if you are not sure. Then press “Choose” to dismiss the dialog.
  • For the “File Format” please select TIFF. The other settings can be chosen as you wish (for example: “Color Space”: sRGB, “Bit Depth”:8 bits/component, “Resolution”:240, “Compression”: LZW ).
  • Press the “OK” button to dismiss the Preferences dialog.
  • Open LandscapePro, choose File and Settings, and make sure Auto Plugin Mode is selected.
  • LandscapePro is now set up as an external editor for your images. You can now select a picture in your library, right click and choose “Edit In” and then “Edit in LandscapePro”.
