Extensions grayed out and can't access plug-ins

Sep 19, 2010 5:59 AM

I've used the water mark plug-in before and it worked just fine but now when I go to window>extensions, the "extensions" are grayed out.

 

Macbook pro 17" with OS X 10.6.4.

Photoshop 12.01, mode RGB, 8-bit/channel.

Watermark 2.0.6. (2.0.5 didn't show up so I loaded the newer version before I noticed extension were grayed out)

The plug-ins are listed under "about plug-ins"

I use Font Agent Pro4.140 and installed the plug-in for Photoshop.

 

Extensions manager shows Watermar installed.

There is no Extensions Manager under "Help" in Photoshop.

 

I have no idea what to do to get to my plug-ins.

    The problem is that "Extensions" under Window is GRAYED OUT and the plug-ins can NOT be accessed. I've just completed a complete reinstall of Photoshop and it's still grayed out.

    It took me all day to fix this problem but right now the extensions are visible again.

     

    Deleting Photoshop preferences didn't fix it.

     

    Uninstalling Photoshop and then re-installing didn't work.

     

    So I uninstalled the complete CS5 suite and hope that I got rid of everything before reinstalling the whole suite. I applied updates, installed plug-ins and it now works. What a pain. I am not very happy. I've never had to do this before and I would really like to know what turned the extension off so I don't have to go through this again. Now I am ready to personalize my short cut keys, etc.

     

    Catherine.
