Downloading and installing the plugin
Downloading and installing the plugin / macOS
1. Make sure that your computer meets the system requirements for the plugin to work correctly.
2. Download the latest version of the plugin from Dehancer.
2.1 Go to the Products → Ps, LrC, C1, APh plugin.
2.2 Select the desired plugin.
2.3 Select macOS as your operating system on the product page.
2.4 Hit Download button. Your download will start automatically.
3. Unzip the downloaded zip file, if your system didn’t do it automatically:
4. Select the appropriate distributive. The file name contains the host application (Photoshop or Lightroom) and the compatible CPU type:
Apple Silicon M1/M2 macs can run Ps/LrC in two modes:
1. As a native Apple Silicon application (an updated Ps/LrC version is required).
2. In Rosetta x86 emulation mode (an older Ps/LrC version is installed, or ‘Open with Rosetta’ option is enabled manually). To check what mode Photoshop is running in, start the application, run Activity Monitor.app and check the Kind column.
- If it shows ‘Apple’, then Ps/LrC runs as a native application. In this case, please install the arm64 version of the plugin.
- If it says ‘Intel’, the application is launched in emulation mode. This requires the x86 version of the plugin. You can also check if the emulation mode is enabled manually. To do this, open the Applications folder, look for the Adobe Lightroom subfolder, locate Adobe Lightroom.app and select ‘Get Info’ from the right-click menu (or press Cmd + I). ‘Open with Rosetta’ option stands for the emulation mode.
5. Run the Lightroom installation file and follow the installation steps.
6. Launch Adobe Lightroom. If the program was already running, you don’t need to restart it.
7. Go to Preferences → External Editing and click Choose to add Dehancer as an external editor.
8. Specify the path to the installed Dehancer plugin:
Macintosh HD → Applications → Dehancer Lightroom Plugin → → Dehancer Lightroom Plugin.app
9. Make sure that the plug-in is selected as an external editor.
10. Choose the photo you want to process, right-click on it and select the Dehancer plugin.
Note that your file must be presented in the sRGB color space to be displayed and processed properly. Support for other color spaces will be added later.
