Update to Adobe Photoshop Windows Full/LE Versions for Using 16-bit Plug-ins on Windows 95
posted 07 February 1996
Although every effort was made to improve compatibility with 16-bit
scanning modules and 16-bit filter plug-ins with version 3.0.4 of Adobe
Photoshop and Adobe Photoshop LE Windows, some may persist in not working
under Windows 95 because they are 16-bit, while Adobe Photoshop and Adobe
Photoshop LE Windows are 32-bit. The enclosed update files were created
along with the release of the new version 3.0.5 to fix these 16-bit plug-in
problems on Windows 95, without requiring you to upgrade to 3.0.5 if you
choose not to do so.
Before installing the files, first ensure that you have installed version
3.0.4 of Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Photoshop LE Windows. The files will not
function with versions of Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Photoshop LE Windows
earlier than 3.0.4. If you do not have version 3.0.4, it will be necessary
for you to forgo using these update files and upgrade to version 3.0.5, as
the upgrade from 3.0.x to 3.0.4 is no longer available. These update files
are already included with version 3.0.5.
To install the update, first Unzip the 16BUPDAT.ZIP file onto your
hard drive. Then, following the installation instructions contained
in the Readme.txt file. These update files do not completely update
your version 3.0.x of Photoshop to version 3.0.5.

scanning in version 3.0.x of Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Photoshop LE
without requiring you to upgrade to 3.0.5 if you choose not to do so.

hard drive. Then, following the installation instructions contained
in the Readme.txt file. These update files do not completely update
