How can I install plug ins to Photoshop CC 2015.5 Capitan

I am having huge problems installing plug-ins to Photoshop CC 2015.5 Capitan. What is the difference with 'Actions' / Plug-ins.


I have used Photoshop for quite a while although definitely not a professional. The new version of Photoshop CC from 2015 to 2015.5 is driving me nuts. I almost wish I had my 2015 version back.


I have just purchased some plug ins from PanosFX but simply can't seem to get them into CC 2015.5. If anyone can help I would be so grateful.


Many thanks Maggi Merritt

I knew I forgot something! 😉


No, actions are not the same as plugins. The latter add specific functions to Photoshop: they are often more like applications by themselves. Actions are 'recordings' of Photoshop commands: quite handy when you perform sequences of certain tasks repeatedly. Here's more about those: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/creating-actions.html

Oops sorry,I certainly didn't mean to mark myself as helpful, infact I'm probably the exact opposite. Hmmm, I'm not sure I'm keen on actions. I've just purchased a bundle from PanosFX thinking they were plug ins but as it now transpires they are in fact Actions. This really is a side of photoshop I cannot get my head around. I've upgraded to PS CC 2015.5 but cannot get to grips with it so I may try and go back to CC 2015 if that is possible. Will I be able to use the PanosFX bundle in PS CC 2015 version. Thank you very much for taking the time to help me it is much appreciated.
