Using ON1 Effects 2019 as a Plug-In to Apple® Photos

SETTING UP APPLE PHOTOS TO WORK WITH EFFECTS

After installing Effects 2019 on your Mac, you must turn the Photos extension on via Apple’s Extensions System Preference. (File Sharing, also accessed from System Preferences, must also be turned on for Apple Photos extensions to work.)
