How to Install Impossible Things
The DVLOP Installer installs the Impossible Things plug-in and every DVLOP preset, profile and LUT on your account in one go.
Already have Impossible Things in Lightroom Classic? You don't need the installer. The plug-in updates itself: when you open Lightroom it offers the new version, or go to File ▸ Plug-in Manager ▸ Impossible Things and click Check for updates now. Restart Lightroom Classic when the update finishes. See Updating the plug-in.
INSTALLATION – QUICK STEPS
• STEP 1 – Download DVLOP-THINGS.zip from your account at things.co/account and open the DVLOP Installer
• STEP 2 – Accept the license and sign in
• STEP 3 – Click Install on the Impossible Things row
• STEP 4 – Restart Lightroom Classic
INSTALLATION – DETAILED STEPS
• STEP 1 – Log in at things.co/account and download DVLOP-THINGS.zip. Unzip it: inside are DVLOP-macOS for Mac and DVLOP-Windows.exe for Windows. Open the one for your computer. The Mac app runs on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs. There is no setup wizard, and the installer does not ask for your computer's administrator password.
• STEP 2 – Accept the license agreement (you only see it once) and sign in with your account email and password – the same login you use at things.co.
• STEP 3 – The installer lists Impossible Things in its own row at the top, followed by the preset packs and profiles on your account. Each row shows Install, Update or Installed ✓. Click Install on the Impossible Things row. The plug-in is about 95 MB, so a progress bar shows while it downloads; the button changes to Installed ✓ when it is done. Install or update any presets and profiles while you're there.
• STEP 4 – Restart Lightroom Classic. Impossible Things appears under File ▸ Plug-in Extras ▸ Impossible Things. Log in with Account Login and you're ready to edit.
GOOD TO KNOW
macOS 27: the previous DVLOP & THINGS installer (the wizard with Next and Finish buttons) does not work on macOS 27 – it reports that it finished, but nothing is installed. If you installed and nothing shows up in Lightroom, download the current DVLOP Installer from your account and run it.
"Impossible Things Help" plug-in: older installs added a second plug-in with this name to the Plug-in Manager. Help is built into the main plug-in now, so the installer removes it. If you still see it after updating inside Lightroom, it is harmless; to remove it, open the installer and click Install (or Update) on Impossible Things.
Reinstalling: run the DVLOP Installer again. There is nothing to add or remove in the Plug-in Manager by hand. Everything about the installer itself – the library, updates, error messages – is at support.dvlop.com.
