Installing the Photoshop Plug-in

The Viz World Photoshop Plug-in is used to integrate Viz World and Adobe Photoshop files. Maps created with the Photoshop plug-in create a new file with separate layers for every feature and detail on the map.

The scripts which are installed as part of the plug-in are used to:

  • Configure the different settings of the Photoshop Plug-in.

  • Open Map Editor Classic to select the desired map.

  • Create the final Adobe Photoshop file and layers, based on the selection and configuration.

Installed Files

The Photoshop plug-in is installed under:

  • C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop\Plug-ins\Import-Export or

  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop\Plug-ins\Import-Export

The file that is installed is:

  • VizrtMapImport.8ba

The scripts are installed under:

  • C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop\Presets\Scripts or

  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop\Presets\Scripts

Important

Important! Newer Versions of Adobe Photoshop (like CC 2017) install in a different directory than C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop. It might be required to copy the whole content of C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop to the real Photoshop Installation location, usually at something like C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2017.
