What is a Q9S file?

A Q9S file is a plugin used by Adobe Photoshop to add the Mr. Contrast effect, which adjusts contrast and enhances fine details in images. It contains the code and resources that Photoshop requires to apply the effect developed by Flaming Pear Software. Unlike image or project files, a Q9S file does not store user-created content; instead, it extends Photoshop's functionality.

More Information

The Mr. Contrast plugin is designed for photographers and digital artists who want stronger contrast and more pronounced textures in their images. It works by emphasizing tonal differences, which can make details stand out more clearly. Users typically apply the effect during photo editing or creative image manipulation, often as part of a larger workflow that includes color correction, sharpening, and other visual adjustments.

How to open a Q9S file

To use a .Q9S file, place it in the Plug-ins folder in the Adobe Photoshop installation directory and then restart the application so Photoshop can load the plugin. Once installed, the Mr. Contrast effect appears in Photoshop's filter menus and can be applied to open images. You generally cannot open a .Q9S file on its own; it only works when loaded in a compatible version of Adobe Photoshop that supports third-party plugins from Flaming Pear Software.
