How to use Pixel Genius Sharpener in Photoshop 2022? (Mac OS Big Sur, 11.6)

(1/3) > >>

tsinsf:
I have been happily using the beloved Pixel Genius sharpener in Photoshop 2021 by manually placing the PG Toolbox Plug-in Module in Applications/Adobe Photoshop 2021/Plug-ins. After updating to Photoshop 2022, I redownloaded the PG Toolbox Plugin using Safari and placed it in Applications/Adobe Photoshop 2022/Plug-ins, but when I attempt to use it I get a message "Photokit Sharpener 2.Plugin" cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified. Right clicking on the Plug-in does not give an option to Open, only to Open in new tab. I googled the problem, but all the solutions are old and none of them work. Can anybody help me. Thanks!

Theoretically it is possible to work around the developer authentication requirement, although I don't recommend it, but my understanding is that the PixelGenius sharpening algorithms were incorporated into Lightroom (at least the desktop version) some time ago.  So if you're running a current rev of Lightroom, you should have access to the same functionality there.  If you really must use the obsolete plug-in, you might try contacting Jeff Schewe or Andrew Rodney directly and see if one of them can offer you any guidance.

Yes, but the same functionality is quite different than the same thing. Is there something wrong with using an obsolete plug-in?

It's outlined on the PG site (which is still up). Anyway:
Use Terminal and copy/paste this:
sudo xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine
Be sure to add a space after the e of ‘quarantine’
Then drag & drop the plug-in onto Terminal…the first plug-in requires you enter your password. The other plug-ins don’t.
Repeat the copy paste and drag & drop for each of the 7 plug-ins-even the oddball plug-ins like Toolbox & Previewer
You’ll have to quit and relaunch Photoshop…

Thanks, but after I enter the command line and drag the plug-in over to the terminal window, the word password shows up with a key symbol. However, when I try to enter the password  for the administrator, nothing registers as I type in the password and when I hit enter, nothing happens.
