Step 1 – Download the extension for Photoshop
Go to the site and download the plugin. I am on the Free Stock Search page of the Adobe’s extension site.
You can go to Adobe Extension home page to search the Photoshop and other Adobe products extensions.
Click on “Free” to download the extension.
Accept the Terms and Conditions.
Note – Make sure that you have Adobe Creative Cloud installed. Otherwise, the download will not work.
Adobe Creative Cloud is a software that authenticates your Photoshop and lets you manage (install/uninstall) Adobe software. You can download Creative Cloud here.
After clicking on the “Free” download button, Adobe’s site will show you a notification to make sure that the Creative Cloud is installed. This is the text.
