HD Photo Plug-in for Adobe Photoshop Software Beta

This is the Windows BETA release of the HD Photo file format plug-in for Adobe Photoshop software with an UPDATED EXPIRATION DATE. It supports a wide range of pixel formats (including high dynamic range, wide gamut formats) and numerous advanced HD Photo features.

This BETA plug-in is designed for use with the CS2 or CS3 versions of Adobe Photoshop software running under Microsoft Windows XP or Microsoft Windows Vista. Any other use is not supported. Because this is a BETA release, we recommend you use careful judgment before using this version of the plug-in for any production work. This BETA version of HD Photo Plug-in for Adobe Photoshop Software will expire after 30.08.2007.

Instructions
When running the installation program, you are prompted for the Photoshop plug-ins directory where the plug-in should be installed. The default location is c:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop CS2\Plug-ins\File Formats, the file formats plug-ins directory for Adobe Photoshop. If you want to use this plug-in with a version of Adobe Photoshop installed in a different location, including use with the beta release of Adobe Photoshop CS3, you will need to browse to the specific file format plug-ins directory for your Photoshop installation. The setup program will not search for or verify the presence of your installation of Adobe Photoshop.

If you inadvertently install the plug-in to the wrong directory, you can un-install it using the “Add/Remove Programs” control panel in Windows XP or the “Programs and Features” control panel in Windows Vista. Then re-install the plug-in and specify the correct installation sub-directory.

Alternately, you can install the plug-in to a temporary directory and then manually copy the plug-in file to the appropriate Photoshop plug-ins directory. If this technique is used, the standard process for un-installing the plug-in will not work; you will need to manually delete the plug-in file to un-install it.

A README file that contains addiitional documentation on the use of this plug-in will also be installed in the same directory where the plug-in is installed.
