- How to run Photoshop CS5 in 32-bit and 64-bit modes
Photoshop CS5 on Mac OS was reworked on a fundamental level to be able to run as a 64-application under the 64-bit versions of Mac OS. Because of this, old and 32-bit plug-ins won’t run, can return errors, or cause crashes when you use them in either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of Photoshop. See below for instructions on how to open Photoshop CS5 in 64-bit and 32-bit modes.
As with all previous versions of Photoshop, do not copy old third-party plug-ins, or plug-ins from previous versions of Photoshop, into the plug-ins folder under Photoshop CS5, on Mac OS or Windows. If you have set the Additional Plug-Ins Folder in the Plug-Ins preferences to a folder, deselect this option, or make sure all the plug-ins in this folder are compatible with Photoshop CS5. Contact third-party plug-in manufacturers for versions of their plug-ins that are compatible with Photoshop CS5, 32-bit or 64-bit.
Looks like a long road to having compatible plug-ins to support the new CS5 apps…
