It&#8217;s wrapped as an MXP file, meaning you can simply double click it to install it using Adobe Extension Manager.  After installing the panel, relaunch Photoshop and look under Window-&gt;Extensions for &#8220;RemoveCopy.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Sometimes Extension Manager doesn&#8217;t play well with Vista (as I think it requires you to be logged in as an administrator), so I&#8217;ve posted the panel in <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.adobe.com\/jnack\/files\/RemoveCopyPanel.zip\">a simple ZIP package<\/a> as well.  You can unzip the contents, then place the panel folder into &#8220;Adobe Photoshop CS4\/Plug-ins\/Panels.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>You might want to use the scripts on their own (not via the panel), especially if you like to assign keyboard shortcuts to commands.  You might also want to use them in CS3 or older versions of Photoshop.  Therefore I&#8217;ve posted <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.adobe.com\/jnack\/files\/RemoveCopyScripts.zip\">just the scripts<\/a> as well.  Drag the expanded contents to &#8220;Adobe Photoshop CS{whatever}\/Presets\/Scripts,&#8221; then relaunch PS.  Once they&#8217;re installed, you can choose Edit-&gt;Keyboard Shortcuts &amp; assign shortcuts if you&#8217;d like.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Thanks to fellow coders <a href=\"http:\/\/morris-photographics.com\/\">Trevor Morris<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tranberry.com\/\">Jeff Tranberry<\/a> for their quick help in making this happen.
