Nice day!
If the plug-in is indeed suitable for use in Photoshop CS6 you can ask the plugin creator/s said.
As you have not revealed which plugin you are talking about, nor what are your OS and hardware etc, it seems unlikely that you can expect a lot of relevant help here.
Kind regards

How can I access the files and folders in Windows XP?
Original title: Big Stick required
For many years, I used XP Professional. A few years ago, due to a scare, I added a password. The disc recently got upset and the machine wouldn't boot. The drive is now working as a slave on another PC, but now a number of files is not accessible. I tried xcacls.vbs to view permissions without success. Does anyone know a "big stick" to use in the circumstances, please?
You should be able to take possession of the problematic files...

How can I access the Documents and settings folder in Windows 7?

I have two youtube accounts, but Firefox has stopped reminding the password on one of them. Unfortunately I remember is no longer the password, like Firefox still remembered up to now. How can I access the password in Firefox, or is that not possible?
Try the menu Tools, Options and then on the Security tab.
Look for the "Passwords" section. From there, you should be able to see or manage stored passwords.
