PHOTOKIT SHARPENER 2.0 READ ME (Windows)

This file contains installation details and the PhotoKit SHARPENER 2 Quick Start Instructions.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: 
After unzipping the compressed file, the PhotoKit Sharpener 2 Installer folder will be extracted. The folder contains the PKS-READ-ME-WIN.txt (the PhotoKit Sharpener 2 READ ME file, this file) and the PhotoKit Sharpener 2 Installer. The PhotoKit Sharpener 2 User Guide (an alias to the User Guide) is created on your desktop after running the installer.

Please note that you must install using a user account with 'Admin' privileges. Double click on the PhotoKit Sharpener 2 Installer icon to start the installer. The installer can automatically determine the installed location of the US or International English version of Adobe Photoshop. NOTE: If you have multiple hard drives with applications or you are installing to, the search can take some time. To install in a non-US or International English language version, you will need to manually browse to the 'Automate' directory. The proper location to select is: Adobe Photoshop XX/ Plug-Ins/Automate.

If you are running a 64-bit Windows operating system, you will need select which version of Photoshop CS4 or CS5 you want to install PhotoKit Sharpener 2 for. If you want to install PhotoKit Sharpener 2 for both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Photoshop, you will need to run the installer twice, once for each bit version.

That's it. PhotoKit Sharpener 2 will now be properly installed. After installing, launch Adobe Photoshop.
