If you’ve installed Dirty Pictures, restarted Photoshop, and still don’t see the plugin listed under the filter menu, then you’ll have to get your hands dirty a bit.  All that’s required is copying a file to the Photoshop Scripts directory, but the location of those two things  can vary based on your system configuration.

First, locate dirtypictures.jsx on your hard drive.  Typically, it’s located in /Library/Application Support/Totally Rad Dirty Pictures/support/dirtypictures.jsx.

Next, copy dirtypictures.jsx over to the Photoshop scripts directory for any Photoshop installations you have.  Those are typically at /Applications/Adobe Photoshop <version>/Presets/Scripts.  Make sure to put it into the Presets/Scripts directory and not the Scripting directory.  There is a difference.

You can use THIS SCRIPT to open both the folder that contains dirtypictures.jsx, and the Photoshop Scripts folder.  All you need to do is copy the file from one place to the other.  To run the script, right click the link, and select “Save As”.  Put the script somewhere you can find it (on your desktop, for instance).  Open Photoshop, and head over to File -> Scripts.  Navigate to where you saved the script and select it to run it.

Restart Photoshop, and Dirty Pictures should now appear in your Filter menu.  If not, contact us and we’ll see what’s up!
