Installing Photoshop Plugin

The Viz World Photoshop Plugin is used to integrate Viz World and Adobe Photoshop files. Maps created with the Photoshop plugin will create a new file with separate layers for every feature and detail on the map.

The scripts which are installed as part of the plugin are used to:

  • Configure the different settings of the Photoshop Plugin.

  • Open Map Editor Classic to select the desired map.

  • Create the final Adobe Photoshop file and layers, based on the selection and configuration.

Installed Files

The Photoshop plugin is installed under:

  • C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop\Plug-ins\Import-Export or

  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop\Plug-ins\Import-Export
    The file that is installed is

  • VizrtMapImport.8ba
    The scripts are installed under:

  • C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop\Presets\Scripts or

  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop\Presets\Scripts

Important

Newer Versions of Adobe Photoshop (like CC 2017) install in a different directory than c:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop. It might be required to copy the whole content of c:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop to the real Photoshop Installation like C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2017
