    Are you sure it is not stand alone?  Google Sketchbook Express & Photoshop CS6, and you get no meaningful hits.  Google just Sketchbook Express and it brings up links than say stuff like:

     

    If you've just switched to Mac and are looking for a replacement for MS Paint, then SketchBook Express is a fun drawing application that's suitable for everything from a quick doodle to professional sketching.

    SketchBook Express uses professional-grade tools that enable you to produce some highly impressive results. The streamlined interface allows for what is known as "gesture-based marking menus" which mean that different tools are available to you at the click of a mouse. However, to get the most out of SketchBook Express, you'll need a pen and tablet device.

    I had an idea, out of the blue:  You got the software for free with your Wacom tablet.  Why not look in the documentation that came with it, or ask on the Wacom forums?

    I have tired to install efex pro by just clicking on the install file as instructed but, Up pops the window, Windw, "Open With," when I cancel this, the end?

    BTW Noel:  That was a masterful example of irony...   for an American.
