Missing the Window > Extensions menu in Photoshop in CC 2022? Adobe is slowly switching to a new plugin system called UXP, and Extensions are disabled by default in new versions of Ps.

Enabling extensions

Open the Photoshop preferences > Plugins

Enable both:

• Allow Extensions to Connect to the Internet

• Load Extensions Panels ← most important

Rosetta mode

But wait, are those options greyed out? Are you on Apple Silicon? You will need to activate Rosetta mode to enable Extensions in Photoshop.

• Close Photoshop

• Navigate to the Photoshop application

• Right click > get Info or CMD+I

Enable the checkbox Open using Rosetta. Restart Photoshop.

The Legacy Extensions checkboxes should now be editable. Enable these prefs, restart Ps again, and Window > Extensions > Anubis will now be available.

If the extension panel shows up without buttons there is a problem loading some of the code to display the UI.

Does your file have an artboard? The Ps artboard has its own background setting for transparency and if it's set to white it will output a white background instead of transparent.

SET ARTBOARD TRANSPARENCY

There doesn't seem to be a way to set this automatically, but it's pretty easy to fix.

1. Select the artboard

2. Open the properties panel (Window > Properties)

3. Set Artboard background color to Transparent

Exported images will now be exported on a transparent background.
