You will have to download the plugin and filter, they're both included in the same download so when you install the download it will install both files. It also works on a trial version that has expired (it worked for me). You will need to download a trial version of Photoshop CS2/CS3, or you already need to have a full version at your disposal. I would also like to add that you do this at your own risk, but it is not likely to go wrong (though these are assumptions). I don't know if it also works for the Extended versions, but I think it works the same way. Nvidia doesn't support the DDS plug-in and Normal map filter for Photoshop versions after CS3, but it is possible to add them to Photoshop CS4 and CS5 (I have the CS5 version and succeeded to add both options). Also I haven't read about someone who succeeded in doing this for PS CS5. These installations can be as simple as a double-click.I thought I'd post this (I didn't see a post about this on the forum though I didn't really look for it either), because it is hard to find good info on the net about it. Many downloadable plugins also include other files that have separate installation instructions, such as brushes. Always consult with the instructions that come with the download to ensure a proper installation. It’s important to note that how the plugin file is saved can make a difference on installation. Open Photoshop and you’ll find the new plugin in the filters menu.If you make changes to the Adobe folders, you will probably need your computer’s administrator password.Unzip the folder and move the new plugin to your Photoshop Plugins folder or another location that’s easy for you to remember.

Download the plugin you want to use to your computer.Tools downloaded from another source or third-party service have to be installed manually. Creative Cloud users can sync extensions automatically to Photoshop by clicking the Free or Buy button in Adobe Exchange. Note: Adobe is beginning to use the terms “plugin,” plug-in,” and “extension” interchangeably. It really takes less than 2 minutes to install Photoshop Plugins. A Photoshop Plugin is fairly easy to install and is immediately ready to use after you complete these simple steps.
