Photoshop CC 2015 Plugin Compatibility Matrix
Photoshop CC 2015 Plugin Compatibility Matrix
(Complete 6/20/15)
20 of 20 Plugins reviewed for Compatibility
Sept 5th
I had a reader contact me to say that the Adobe bug fix release did not eliminate his compatibility issue with NIK plugins. He reported that he had his hands full with Adobe support but he was finally made whole with the deletion of CC 2014.
August 5th
Adobe has issued a bug fix release which has addressed compatibility issue with NIK plugins and to fix the issues many CC 2015 users have had with plugins ‘not working’ at the sixth position in the filter drop down menu. With this release I believe all plugin compatibly issues have been resolved. If you aware of any compatibility problem, please let me know.
July 20th TOPAZ HAS ANNOUNCED THIS ALERT based on validation of Imagenomic and Fritzimages investigation
We have identified a bug in the current (July 2015) version of PS CC 2015 that causes Topaz Labs plugins to not launch. Upon extensive investigation, it appears that the reason our software is not launching is that Photoshop launches the first 5 plugins in the 3rd party Filters menu, but stops after 5. So, options 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, etc, will not launch. We were able to replicate the bug, and resolved that in order to get our plugins to work, you will need to move us into the 5th slot or higher in order to function.
We understand this is limiting, but unfortunately, we do not have any control over the bug. The reason it affects Topaz Labs disproportionately, is that we are lower in the alphabet, and tend to be near the bottom of our customers’ Filters menu.
Thank you for your patience, at this time we are awaiting a response from Adobe on the confirmation and status of this bug. This issue does not exist in Adobe Photoshop CC 2014, so if you require all plugins to work, you will need to reinstall PS CC 2014 in order to use all of your plugins.

Important Information for Plugin Menu Glitch and Performance from Noiseware and may effect NIK & Topaz
The Noiseware menu glitch is a bug related to the Photoshop menu system.
Any plugin in the 6th place on the external Filter list will exhibit this issue.
This link shows Topaz with same menu items:
https://c.getsatisfaction.com/photoshop_family/topics/photoshop-2015-cc-wont-open-topaz-labs-filters-and-does-weird-stuff-when-it-tries
We’ve informed Adobe and await their response.
In the mean time, you could remove one of the plugins above Noiseware to move it up the line and it will then work.
However, the 6th in line will have the same menu glitch on the second run.
Regards,
George @ Imagenomic
FritzImages - Upgrade Backgound & Article
Adobe announced on June 15th updates for Photoshop and other Adobe applications thru its Creative Cloud. Anytime I hear Adobe and the words update I cringe. They are a widely known as a big monolithic business run by marketing and not customer relations or quality control. Over the years I have had only terrible experiences with their updates, upgrades and new purchases so I now pucker up when it is time for me to upgrade their products. Then for the most part, once you get beyond the actual install the real horror show begins as your third party plugins become broken, manual loading is required, extension managers no longer work and actions or presets no longer work.
This time around, I found that Adobe did it again. Their Creative Cloud application could not perform an auto launch and created five ACC.log files of 2gb each. After I erased their 10Gb gifts, rebooted and relaunched the Creative Cloud app, the CC icon appeared up on my toolbar. After CC scanned and searched my hard drives it announced that it would perform the most fantastic tasks known to mankind and update and install all these new and wonderful apps. However I did not bite on the upgrade. I stopped and spent an hour reading and researching all the small print.
ADOBE WILL UNINSTALL all existing CC versions on your computer if you choose Auto Upgrade with Creative Cloud desktop. (2) Photoshop CC 2015 installs without any Plugins. You must perform a fresh reload of all Plugins.
The Good News | If you read the fine print, (under advance options) you can follow the instructions to prevent the CC auto installer to not delete existing CC versions. (see notes below) or Follow Adobe Link

FritzImages - My Photoshop CC 2014 PlugIn List
FritzImages - Compatibility Conclusion
The best 3rd party plugin vendors do several things right.
- They have a landing page or support page dedicated to how their plug-in installs into Photoshop CC 2015
- They have a direct link on the support page to download your plugin.
- The plugin will auto install into the Photoshop CC 2015 plugin folder.
- The plugin will open up and run in Photoshop CC 2015 in the filter toolbar or similar.
About 80% of the installs did not meet the above criteria. Many sites had no landing page or support. Trying to find a copy of their download files was often a mystery investigation. Only a few vendors had the smarts to update their plugin install routines to recognize that their plugin was going to be used in Photoshop CC 2015. Two vendors ran into problems launching inside Photoshop CC 2015.
My conclusion is that the Best In Class 3rd Party Plugin Providers are the ones which had auto installs and which provided a Landing page or dedicated support and had a clear path to download an updated plugin file. If you are paying for customer service and quality for these plugins then the vendor should be stepping up and be prepared for Photoshop upgrades (i.e. auto installs). It was an eye opener to see how vendors are misaligned with their customers need for a seamless and non-complicated install.
There was only one vendor which excelled at how to do things right with their release and install workflow
The Best In Class 3rd Party Plugin for Photoshop CC 2105 compatibility was Alien Skin Exposure 7

Alien Skin support: It is never a good idea to move or copy plug-ins from one location to another. We recommend that you reinstall the plug-ins in the new program using the most recent version available. You can get the latest version from the Downloads page on our main web site. The installers will perform a first time installation or update an existing install.

FritzImages: I was spoiled with Alien Skin software engineering. Installation is automatic and fully integrated with Photoshop CC 2015.
I have completed installing 11 plugins from various vendors. Alien Skin Exposure 7 is BEST IN CLASS compared to their peers for worry-free installation and compatibility with Photoshop CC 2015.

- Portrait Pro V12 | There is no auto-installer
- Support : How do I install the Photoshop plug-in?
This is done in the menu of Portrait Pro Studio or Portait Pro Studio Max. On Windows choose the Settings option in the File menu, or if you are on a Mac choose the Preferences option. Then go to the Plugin tab.
Press the button “Run Plug-in Installer”.
Portrait Pro 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 you want to use. Please make sure to check that the installation folder that Portrait Pro gives you is correct for the version of Photoshop that you want to use.

- Noiseless Pro | Manual Configuration | Works
FritzImages: To update MacPhun Suite Apps. open up standalone version then goto Top left toolbar, look for drop down box ‘Install Plug-Ins”
After configuring plugin with drop down box. I opened up CC 2015 and MacPhun plugins Tonality and Intensify would not launch and then were erratic and threw drop down boxes unreleased to the product. I went back to see if CC 2014 worked properly with MacPhun and it did. I do not think MacPhun is compatible with Photoshop CC 2015. They do not have any info that I could find on their website about status or compatibility or special installation.
FritzImages UPDATE 6/19: You must flush caches, turn off ALL Adobe products, then soft shut down your computer, let it rest awhile, then turn on computer. This workflow was done two times, then MacPhun plugins worked for me.

You may use your original Nik Collection installation file, or contact support to request a new file be emailed to you. Just be sure that if you are using an original file, it is for the Nik Collection and not for outdated versions of the Nik Software or you may run into compatibility issues. Note: You must open and close the new host application at least one time on your computer before reinstalling the Nik Collection, otherwise the Nik Collection may not find the new host.

Adobe recently released an update for Adobe Photoshop CC. If you have recently updated to Adobe Photoshop CC 2015, you will need to reinstall our program for the plugins to install into the 2015 version of Adobe Photoshop. Please download and install from the links below
FritzImage Note: OnOne has long launched from an extension panel in photoshop. OnOne and a number of other vendors have been told that Adobe is discontinuing the Extension Manager in this photoshop CC 2015 update. This is a problem. So if you want to find your OnOne Filter it will not be found under filters, you have to goto Files/Automate and hunt and peck for the OnOne plugin that you want. Now there are two locations to find your filters…Hopefully someday everyone will get on the same page. I know a lot of vendors have been using the extension panel for a number of years…
FritzImages: Once you have downloaded the Suite Premium, the OnOne Plugins are going to be installed in Photoshop CC 2014, then you are going to have to do a manual install, by dragging the plugin folders over into Photoshop CC 2015. To be honest, you would think that an operation like OnOne would be better prepared and have engineered an auto install. At least they have a support page up with good instructions and a download file.

Topaz Forums are abuzz with Photoshop CC 2015 Installation and compatibility issues with Topaz.
FritzImages: 4 days after Adobe CC 2015 release, Topaz now has a fix for installing its plug-in suite. Basically they want you to remove all occurrences of their plugins found in the user library and in Photoshop CC 2015 plug in folder. I went one further and deleted any Topaz apps in the finder window. Next step is to download a PlugIn Suite installer. At this point you have no clue where Topaz is putting your filters, other vendors show you the application it is headed to…. Once the install was completed, the Topaz plugins were now available in the Photoshop filter toolbar. The bad news for me was that the B&W plugin did not launch. I figured Topaz had a license problem with my Suite, so I download a separate copy of the B&W. It worked ! I then had to download two more plugins that were not part of suite. Out of the twenty plugin installs that I did, this was the worst plugin install because of time, complexity, and lack of timeliness. So prepare yourself for some grief.
Topaz Photoshop CC2015 Update:
Hey everyone! As you can clearly see, this Adobe CC 2015 update has been chaotic, for many users.
For those of you that have not yet heard back from one of us here at Topaz Labs, please rest assured will will get to you. I have actively been searching for the root cause of the plugins failing to launch in Photoshop CC 2015, even after extensive troubleshooting.
One customer I conducted a remote session with was experiencing a sandboxing issue with Photoshop, only. I was able to launch the plugins with no issue in their Lightroom CC 2015 application, which was updated at the same time. This tells me the problem is specific to Photoshop.
Why it is working for some and not for others, is undetermined at this time.
For those of our customers that heavily depend on our plugins for their workflows, and must have their software back immediately, I recommend uninstalling CC 2015, and using CC 2014 instead. I will be writing a guide shortly on how to accomplish this. Hopefully, Adobe will release a fix soon to address the issues we have been finding
I want to offer my sincerest apologues for the slow response time, we are working as fast as we can to get to everyone. We DO care about our customers, and are determined to get everyone back into their Topaz plugins as soon as possible.

FritzImages: I downloaded the latest version at the direct download site link above. When you open the dmg file, drag the icon to the applications folder. Then goto the applications folder and click on the icon. The file will open up and an installer will prompt you where you want to install the plugin to. The installation will ask you to enable via check mark a drop down list. The Vertus software prompts you for photoshop CC 2015. Install will take a few seconds. The plugin is activated and it does work 100% in the Photoshop 2015.
I have recently upgraded to Photoshop CC 2015. As you may know Adobe recommends 3rd party plugins to be installed again. I have been posting an article on Photoshop CC 2015 Plugin Compatibility Matrix. To date I have installed 11 out of 20 Plugins.
I am writing to commend your team on being Best in Class compared to your plugin peers. The Alien Skin install was automatic and seemless and easy. Great Job and thanks for being prepared for the new Adobe PS CC 2015 rollout..

Looks like you are on to something, @EdFritz! We have finally been able to replicate the bug, by following this advice. We have updated our migration article to reflect an acknowledgement of this bug.
How to Migrate from Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 to Photoshop CC 2015
Dear Ed,
Our specialist were able to identify the cause of the problem.
The Noiseware menu glitch is a bug related to the Photoshop CC 2015 menu system. Any plugin in the 6th place on the external Filter list will exhibit this issue. We’ve informed Adobe about this issue and are waiting for their response.
In the meantime, you could remove one of the plugins above Noiseware to move it up the line and it will then work properly.
Hope this helps and let us know in case you have further questions.
Best,
Ani
