How to install .CCX files

Method 1: Using the Creative Cloud Desktop App 1. Opening Creative Cloud Desktop App: Launch the Creative Cloud desktop app. You'll typically find it in your Applications folder on a Mac or in the Start Menu on Windows. 2. Navigating to Plugins: Within the app, click on the 'Stock & Marketplace' tab. This is usually located at the top of the window. Here, click on 'Plugins'. 3. Finding Your Plugin: Use the search bar to find the plugin you need. Once you find it, click on 'Get' or 'Learn more'—the button depends on whether the plugin is free or paid. 4. Completing Installation: Follow the instructions that appear on your screen. This process usually involves a few simple clicks. 5. Accessing the Installed Plugin: If you're unsure where to find your newly installed plugin in Photoshop, visit Adobe's 'My Exchange' website, find your plugin, and look for the 'Where to find it' section. Method 2: Manual Installation via CCX File 1. Locating the CCX File: After downloading your CCX file (usually from a trusted online source), note where it's saved on your computer. 2. Unzipping the CCX File: Use a file extraction tool like 7zip or WinRAR to unzip the CCX file. Right-click on the file and select 'Extract here' or 'Extract to…' to unzip it to a chosen location. 3. Moving Files to Photoshop Plugin Folder: Open the folder where Photoshop is installed, typically found in 'C:\Program Files\Adobe' on Windows or the 'Applications' folder on Mac. Inside, locate the 'Plug-ins' folder and drag your unzipped plugin files into this folder.
