# 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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://support.aperty.ai/about-aperty/using-aperty-in-the-plug-in-mode/aperty-with-adobe-photoshop.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
