There are two options for installing Greeting Card Designer onto a Mac system using Adobe Photoshop. Your download contains all the files necessary to run an automated install (recommended), or you can manually install your files.
When you purchase the Greeting Card Designer Version 5, you will receive an archive file (zip file) that contains the actions and signature file and an executable installer file. Unzip these files and store them in a safe location. I'd suggest you create a folder in your Documents or Desktop folder called "Greeting Card Designer", and place them there.
Automated Install
The download package that you received after purchasing Greeting Card Designer includes an install file Greeting Card Designer V5.mpkg. Simply double click this file and follow the on screen instructions.
