DiVisual® Mapping System Alert!

Adobe has continuously developed its Photoshop software. This has involved several changes to the system architecture, which meant that we had to reprogram the DiVisual® MS plugin each time. The DiVisual® MS plugin is no longer compatible with the current version of Photoshop 2026.

We have therefore decided to declare the plugin open source software. If you would like a licence-free version for Photoshop 2025 or older, please send us an email.

If you are interested in further developing the plugin as open source software, please contact us to discuss your ideas.
