Welcome to the Russell Brown Show and this helpful set of scripts, panels, and actions that can assist with several of your design and production tasks. These utilities can be extremely helpful, but they are definitely not perfect. They can occasionally fail and cause some inconveniences.
Please do NOT install these scripts unless you fully understand that I will not be able to easily answer your technical support questions if you have problems. I enjoy making these tools available for free, but I just do not have the time to answer all the email support questions that come my way. I truly apologize for this inconvenience and I hope you understand.
Please enjoy.
Here are a few important Installation tips that might be helpful
1.
Most of my scripts will only work with Adobe Photoshop CS5 or CS6 and I only update the scripts for the current shipping version of Adobe Photoshop.
2.
When installing my scripts, make sure that you are running the correct version of the Adobe Extension Manager. The Extension Manager should directly match the version of Adobe Photoshop that you are currently using. For example, the CS6 Extension Manager must be used when installing my scripts for Adobe Photoshop CS6. If the installer does not work, then follow the instructions for a manual installation. The manual installation guide is included with the download of all of my products. If the manual installation still does not work, then your machine configuration is not compatible with my scripts and you should uninstall them. I'm very sorry.
3.
If any of my scripts should suddenly stop working then perhaps one of these following techniques might fix the problem. First, try and reinstall the script. If that fails, then try running my special script called "JUST FIX IT ". This script will remove all the preferences for my scripts and panels. This should be used if all other efforts have failed. JUST FIX IT is located just below this Read Me document. Warning! This will remove all your current settings for my scripts.
4.
If none of these techniques have fixed your problems then I highly recommend that you uninstall my scripts and panels from your system. You can use the Adobe Extension Manager, or follow my installation instructions in reverse to uninstall my scripts. The manual installation instructions are included with the download of all of my utilities.
5.
Finally, PLEASE tell me if you like these scripts, and if you are using them. I can always use encouragement to keep making these utilities. THANKS!!!
