Creative Commons Panel/manual install
Step 1: Download our panel
Right-click (or control-click, on a Mac) this link to our panel file and choose to save the file, not just "open" it. Under Windows save it to the Desktop. Under OS X save the file to
/Users/{YOUR USERNAME}/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels
Step 1a: On Windows, move the file to the right place
Mac users can skip to Step 2.
In Windows, the file should go in this folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\{YOUR USERNAME}\Application Data\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels
where {YOUR USERNAME} is replaced with your Windows username. The easiest way do this is to save the file to the desktop, and then to:
- Click on the Start Menu
- Click "Run..."
- Type Desktop\..\Application Data
- Click "OK"
- Open the "Adobe" folder inside there
- Open the "XMP" folder inside there, or create it if there is no XMP folder
- Open the "Custom File Info Panels" folder inside, or create it if there is no folder by that name
- Drag the XMP file you saved to your desktop to the folder that just opened
- Close the folder
You may have to create the "XMP" folder under "Adobe", and you may also have to create the "Custom File Info Panels" folder under "XMP".
Step 2: Restart Photoshop and notice the beautiful new panel
Once you quit and restart Photoshop, you can look at the Creative Commons metadata attached to a file by clicking "File Info" inside the "File" menu at the top left.
