Troubleshooting

Q: MixColors plugin for Photoshop is slow

A: Please update Photoshop including all the latest updates, even the smallest ones (like Services). Then restart (important!)


Q:I got a permission error when trying to install MixColors in Photoshop CS5 on Windows

A:Try the following route:
1) Download MixColors4.zxp
2) Find "Adobe Extension Manager CS5" - it is located in your Adobe CS5 folder
3) Click with right mouse button on it and choose "Run as Administrator"
4) In Extension Manager choose "File | Open" and locate MixColors4.zxp
5) Continue with installation answering OK or Yes on all questions



Q:When I try to install MixColors on Photoshop CS5 with Extension Manager on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2, I receive the following error: "The extension MixColors does not contain valid signature. The extension will not be installed"

A:Adobe Extension Manager is not compatible with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2+. You have to install it manually:
1) Locate /Library/Application Support/Adobe/CS5ServiceManager/extensions
2) Create folder "MixColors" inside that folder
3) Rename MixColors4.zxp to MixColors4.zip and unpack to that folder

*This is a temporary solution, Adobe promises to fix it soon
