Installation
All versions of Phantasm CS, including the combined Trial version are supplied as standard Illustrator plugins and are installed manually. This task is very quick and easy and is described for each operating system below.
Note: when upgrading from earlier versions of the Trial version, it is strongly advised that you first remove the old plugin file before adding the new version. To do so, delete or remove the old Phantasm CS plugin file from the Illustrator Plug-ins folder.
