Installing Impossible Things with the DVLOP Installer

The Impossible Things plug-in for Lightroom Classic is installed by the DVLOP Installer. It is free to everyone with a DVLOP account and sits in the top row of the library.


HOW TO INSTALL

• STEP 1 – Open the DVLOP Installer and sign in. (New to the installer? See The DVLOP Installer.)

• STEP 2 – Click Install on the Impossible Things row at the top of the library. The plug-in is about 95 MB, so you will see a progress bar while it downloads. Wait until the row reads Installed ✓.

• STEP 3 – Restart Lightroom Classic. The plug-in is ready to use.

The current plug-in version is 1.99. The installer puts it in Lightroom Classic's Modules folder and replaces any copy already there, so you never need to remove an old version first.

GOOD TO KNOW

The row says "Update" but I already have the plug-in. The row reads Update whenever the installed copy is older than the current version (for example 1.98 or 1.92), and occasionally when we publish a newer build of the same version. Clicking it is harmless and takes a few seconds. Lightroom Classic also offers the same update by itself when it starts – either route gives you the same version. Restart Lightroom Classic afterwards.

The old "Impossible Things Help" plug-in. Earlier versions came with a separate Help plug-in. It is no longer needed and the installer removes it automatically, so if it has gone from Lightroom's Plug-in Manager, that is expected.
