Special note about the onOne menu and Photoshop CS4 and CS5
In the past, a menu labeled onOne was installed into Photoshop between the Window and Help menus. This provided easy access to your installed onOne plug-ins. The technology used to create this menu is no longer compatible with Photoshop CS4 or CS5. We are phasing out the onOne menu and replacing it with the new onOne Panel. The onOne Panel provides the same functionality as the onOne menu in a more reliable and useful fashion. If you have Photoshop CS4 or CS5 you will not see the onOne menu. You can instead open the onOne Panel from the Window > Extensions menu in Photoshop. You can also access the plug-ins from the File > Automate menu.

- PhotoTools is only compatible with the full versions of Photoshop, not Photoshop Elements.
Special note about the onOne Menu and Photoshop Elements
Photoshop Elements 7 and 8 use an integrated window appearance that is not compatible with the onOne Menu. Therefore, the onOne menu will not be installed. You can access the onOne plug-ins from either the Filter > onOne Software menu or the File > Automation Tools menu. If you are using Essentials for Photoshop Elements you can always use the floating Essentials palette.
