Important Notice for Mac Users (Apple Silicon)

Shade currently does not show up in Photoshop (just Photoshop) on Macs with Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, etc.).
This is due to Adobe discontinuing support for CEP panels, which Shade is built on. I’m actively working on converting Shade to a new UXP panel, which fully supports these systems.

An updated version is on the way! Thanks for your patience.

“I’ve been using the updated version of Shade for a few weeks now and this update is massive. Shade is the best tool for After Effects to manage and apply colors. There are so many useful tools in a beautiful customizable UI.”
