About plug-in filters

You can install plug-in filters developed by non-Adobe software developers. Once installed, the plug-in filters should appear at the bottom of the Filter menu unless specified by the developer. Plug-in filters must be created and installed by the filter developer especially for Photoshop Elements for previews to appear in the Filters browser.

If you are interested in creating plug-in modules, contact Adobe Systems Developer Support. (See  Using plug-in modules.)

Note: If you have problems or questions about a third-party plug-in, contact the plug-in's manufacturer for support.
