Requirements
This software will work in any modern Photoshop version and version 13 (aka CS6 ) from 11 years
ago) (how to know my Photoshop version?).
ARM-Macs (M1, M2, etc) are currently not supported.
Installation for modern Photoshops (2022, 2021, 2020, etc. not the
old CS6).
There are several installation methods. Chose the one that best fits your needs.
Native Installers (both Mac and Windows): the fastest and easiest way.
Note that because I'm not an identified developer, Mac, Windows or AntiVirus software could
start suggesting to not use these installers. If you're not comfortable with this, please use a
different installation method.

FAQ
Q: How do I know my Photoshop version?
On Windows: menu Help → About Photoshop ;
On Mac: menu Photoshop → About Photoshop ;
Q: How do I install the extension using the Adobe Extesion Manager?
You can use it only with Photoshop CS6 (version 13 ), not with modern Photoshops;
For modern Photoshop it won't work: Adobe have abandoned it 10 years ago but they still
provide it (probably to cause chaos)
Q: ZXP Installer says that I don't have compatible Photoshop version, what should I do?
Make sure that you're using the ZXP Installer from the AE Enchancers website, not from
https://zxpinstaller.com/. They have the same name but only the AE Enchancers version works
with latest Photoshop versions
