Hi Tony, It's safe to deleterious it.! You don't say which OS you're using. If using OS X on a workstation, then you may want to duplicate the install (Opt-drag it), do a get info on the application file and then tick the option to open it in Classic. Install all the Classic compatible plug-ins into this version. Now you can have both versions of Photoshop running but have access to your non-OS X compliant plug-ins. Remember to launch the OS X version first so that you can hot swap between the two versions. The hot swap tip came from, I'm pretty sure, Bob. OK, so I can't remember but if you say Bob, Paul or Dave on this list, you have a good chance of being right. <G> The tip to start the OS X version first is mine, though. Another tip: make an alias of the Classic "install" and drop it into the Apple Menu Items folder and then drop that folder onto the Dock. You can then launch your Classic version of Photoshop real easy. --/ Shangara Singh http://www.e-pixel.co.uk Adobe Certified Expert ~ Photoshop 7.0 PortfoliosOnCD for Photographers http://www.portfoliosoncd.com =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
