In order to set the path after upgrading PortraitPro or Photoshop you need to launch the program in standalone mode once. After that you can close PortraitPro, and the next time you launch Photoshop the PortraitPro filter will work correctly.

If an Adobe Creative Cloud update moves the Plug-ins folder, simply re-run the full installer for PortraitPro Studio or Studio Max and your plug-in will be restored. If you don't have the installer, please get it from our license manager page.

This is done in the menu of PortraitPro Studio or PortraitPro Studio Max. On Windows choose the Settings option in the File menu. Press the button "Run Plug-in Installer".
PortraitPro will detect what version of Photoshop you have installed, and automatically find the Plug-ins folder for you. However, if the correct place is not detected you can manually browse to the Plug-ins folder of the Photoshop you want to use. Please make sure to check that the installation folder that PortraitPro gives you is correct for the version of Photoshop that you want to use.
When launching Photoshop, make sure that you launch the correct Photoshop for the plug-in. If you launch a different Photoshop, that will not have the plug-in installed, and PortraitPro won't show up in the menu.
Photoshop needs to be restarted before it will use a new plug-in. When the plug-in is installed, you can see it in Photoshop by selecting the Filter menu option. Look down the list of filters and at the end will be an entry "Anthropics". Choose this and you will see it expand to show the PortraitPro plug-in.

This is done in the menu of PortraitPro Studio or PortraitPro Studio Max. Choose the Preferences option.
Then go to the Plugin tab. Press the button "Run Plug-in Installer".
