Anubis no longer works in Photoshop 2025

Unfortunately, Adobe has moved away from the CEP extension system in Photoshop and Anubis is no longer supported. This was introduced with 2022 and started causing some trouble, so if you are using an older version of Ps, keep reading.

Photoshop 2024 and below

Missing the Window > Extensions menu in Photoshop in CC 2022? Adobe is slowly switching to a new plugin system called UXP, and Extensions are disabled by default in new versions of Ps.

Enabling extensions

Open the Photoshop preferences > Plugins

Enable both:

• Allow Extensions to Connect to the Internet

• Load Extensions Panels ← most important

Rosetta mode

But wait, are those options greyed out? Are you on Apple Silicon? You will need to activate Rosetta mode to enable Extensions in Photoshop.

• Close Photoshop

• Navigate to the Photoshop application

• Right click > get Info or CMD+I

Enable the checkbox Open using Rosetta. Restart Photoshop.

The Legacy Extensions checkboxes should now be editable. Enable these prefs, restart Ps again, and Window > Extensions > Anubis will now be available.
