# Aperty with Adobe Photoshop

{% @arcade/embed flowId="Soag78llT2636G9K0UPj" url="<https://app.arcade.software/share/Soag78llT2636G9K0UPj>" %}

To enhance your images in Photoshop with Aperty, follow these steps:

1. Open Adobe Photoshop.
2. Load the image you’d like to enhance.
3. Navigate to **Filter > Skylum Software > Aperty** (a dialog box will appear, confirming Aperty is running).
4. Aperty should automatically open the image from Photoshop. If needed, select the Aperty icon in your Dock (macOS) or Taskbar (Windows) to switch to it.
5. Make your edits or adjustments within Aperty.
6. When finished, click **Apply** to send the edited image back to Photoshop.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Aperty’s performance is not guaranteed for legacy Photoshop versions, such as Photoshop CS.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
Due to a Photoshop limitation, the Crop tool is not available when Aperty is used as a Photoshop plug-in. Photoshop requires that any image processed by a plug-in retains its original shape and pixel count. However, you can crop and straighten your image directly in Photoshop either before or after using Aperty.
