Hi!

I just upgraded Photoshop to Photoshop CC 2017. Filter Forge 5 has disappeared from the filter menu in Photoshop. I run Windows 10.

I tried to uninstall Filter Forge 5 and install it again. I can only install it as a standalone program.

How do I get filter Forge to work in Photoshop?

Thor, I noticed that my upgrade of photoshop did not delete my plug-ins folder for 2015.5 so all I did was copy the Filter Forge folder over to the the 2017 plugins folder and restarted Photoshop. Works like a champ.

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2015.5\Plug-ins\Filters

to

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2017\Plug-ins\Filters

Thanks Peter!

I didn't find Filter Forge in the CC 2015.5 plugins folder. I assume this is because I uninstalled Filter Forge and installed it again. I assume the uninstaller deleted Filter Forge from the plugins folder.

So I guess I have to wait for Filter Forge to launch a new version of Filter Forge which is compatible with Photoshop CC 2017.

But I found several other plugins in several old plugins folders. Those plugins I have copied to the CC 2017 plugins folder. Now they work in CC 2017. Thank you for helping me find those plugins!

Everyone having issues with CC 2017: please install the latest FF 5.012 from the download page.
