Photoshop CC (23.x) not working with SM?

Post by Dutchottie »

Hi,
My current version of Photoshop CC (23.4.2) does not accept any of the supplied plugins (3DxWare 10.8.8 ).
Is this correct? How should I otherwise install the plugin?

Cheers,

MArco

Go to the application installation directory and check if you can find the file "3DxPhotoshop_CC2017.8li" in the "Plug-ins" folder. If the file is missing, copy it from the driver installation (normally found at C:\Program Files\3Dconnexion\3DxWare 10\3DxPhotoshop).

We will fix this in the next driver release.

Cheers! That did it.
I hope you'll manage to add zooming to the controls too. That would be nice.
Plus ofc a bunch of commands to program the buttons :-)

Thanks again.

Not sure I follow. We already have zoom support: if you move the SpaceMouse sensor cap back/forward it will zoom in/out along the direction indicated by the mouse pointer.

Ah, so it is supposed to zoom :-) only it doesn't!
Didn't touch the settings. Panning works fine, but zooming...

Did you assign a keyboard shortcut to the File > Automate > 3DxPhotoshop menu item?

Hi again!
Yes I did. I opted for ctrl-F12. But whether I press that or not, nothing special happens. My Space Mouse still only pans the image no matter what motion I apply to it.
Is there something special I need to do with the assignment of the key shortcut (I did restart PS)?
I am presuming I only have to press the shortcut key once to activate the 3DxPhotoshop add-on?

Thanks for your help so far!

No need to press the shortcut. It's only meant to be used internally by the plugin.

Zooming is expected to work. Check the "Advanced Settings" panel in 3Dconnexion Properties (ensure you're editing the configuration for Photoshop) to see all motion axes are enabled. You did mention that no settings were changed but perhaps something got flipped inadvertently.

So much has been done to improve 3DxWare for end users, thank you!
