Besides these 2 documents
a) Photoshop CS File Formats Specification October 2003
b) Adobe Photoshop 6.0 File Formats Specification Version 6.0 Release 2.0 November 2000

Are there any other documents which would be helpful in understanding the PSD and PSB formats?

Is there a document/spreedsheet which shows which features are supported via Photoshop Versions
2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0 7.0 CS CS2 CS3 CS4 showing PSB and PSD features?

Where would these additional documents be located?

I'd like to write a plugin that makes use of Photoshop CS4 animation timeline data but, after much searching through the SDK, I haven't been successful at locating any examples or documentation defining how to get at this information.  Is this data exposed?  If so, can someone kindly point me to the appropriate location.

Thank you.

Hi,

I noticed PITerminology is being phased out.  Correct?

I'd like to learn the correct way of using the strings defined in PIStringTerminology.h

As an example, I'd like to get a layer's name.   I had no problems doing this the old way, with PIUGet(classLayer, keyName, ....)

So, I found something called klayerNameStr  in PIStringTerminology.h and would like to use it to achieve the same thing.

I tried:

DescriptorTypeID runtimeKeyID;

error = sPSActionControl->StringIDToTypeID(klayerNameStr, &runtimeKeyID);

error = PIUGetInfo(classLayer, runtimeKeyID, ...)

But the PIGetInfo( ) failed.  What am I doing wrong? Obviously not getting the correct usage of klayerNameStr. ;-(

Also, just as a comment aside, PITerminology.h was a bit clearer to read, because there were prefaces to everything so they made sense, e.g

classLayer, classDocument,

vs

keyName, keyThis, keyThat

It was easy to know what was a class, key, enum, etc. and that helped show how to use them. Things have gotten, IMHO, slightly more confusing and unclear.

Anyway, thanks for any help

Hello,

I'd like to have a Plug In which can read Scripting Parameters and run accordignly.

One of the code samples in the SDK is called "PoorMansTypeTool".
In its documentation it is said to be able to "Read scripting parameters".

I look into its code yet I couldn't figure how it does it.

Let's say I have a script with a variable 'a'.
The script launches a filter from the filter lists and want to pass the valu of the parameter 'a' to the filter.

How could that be done?

Are there any constraints on the parameter type, size, etc?

Has anyone tried it before?

If someone could guide me through the plug in code I'd be happy.

Thank You.

Hi

I need to develop a photoshop plugin using qt to create UI. I have two doubts regarding this
- First, Is it possible to integrate qt UI with photoshop plugin and perform photoshop operations.

- Second, Is it possible to create a panel type UI using QT for Photoshop and keep it non modal.

I have no idea regarding qt. Please guide.

Thanks

Hello,

I can access the document-level metadata of a PSD file (as done in the Propertizer sample plugin in the SDK) with something like this:

Handle h = NULL;

OSErr error = sPSProperty->getPropertyProc(kPhotoshopSignature, 'xmpd', 0, NULL, &h);

Is there a way to access per-layer metadata from a C++ plugin?

Thanks

It seems that new Photoshop version 2015.5.1 has completely different folders structure on Mac. Here is log from 2015.5.1:

Hello,

Photoshop allows plug in to request data in Planar (Each color layer on its own) or Interleaved (RGB, RGB RGB Pixels) format.

I was wondering, what's Photoshop's internal format?

Namely, let's say I request the whole image, which will take less time to get, the interleaved or planar data (Namely which doesn't require Photoshop to do any operations besisdes giving access to data)?

Thank You.

Hello,

Since InDesign and Illustrator CC 2018 SDK's are already there, where is the Photoshop SDK?

Hello,

Is there any way for a Flex-based Photoshop panel to communicate with a native Photoshop plugin? I was hoping there might be a way to send a message from the panel to my C++ based plugin using custom events, similar to http://flexblog.faratasystems.com/?p=170, but I haven't been able to receive the custom event in my plugin. Has anyone tried this before?

Thanks.

Building my own CEP-based (javascript, jsx) extension which will be used to sync data to our proprietary database solution. Most of the functionality is in place, but Im having trouble with the distribution and installing.

I got this error when installing with exmancmdwin:

Failed to install, status = -403!

By googeling this Ive deduced that this is an error for the installer not recognizing the target app?

I thought this might be result of the manifest.xml file, but I cant seem to figure out whats wrong with it.

<ExtensionList>    <Extension Id="com.example.photoshopevents.extension" Version="1.0"/>  </ExtensionList>  <ExecutionEnvironment>    <HostList>      <Host Name="PHXS" Version="15.0" />  <Host Name="PHSP" Version="15.0"  />    </HostList>

So just for the hell of it, I tried doing the same process with the photoshop-extension sample from here:

https://github.com/Adobe-CEP/Samples/tree/master/PhotoshopEvents

That should work right? Nope. Getting the same error.

To recreate:

(On windows 10, with Photoshop 2018)

Am I doing the signing process wrong? Or is there something weird going on here?

Hi all,

I am a programmer, I program in PHP, and Obj-C, I know C++ quite fair. I also Design web templates & code them. I need a plugin for photoshop, I searched it but I couldn't find it. So I thought I will try creating it for mysel & if it was nice I will share it too. But unfortunately I don't much help online for creating a very basic photoshop plugin.

By the way, here are my requirments for that plugin:

Most when I create my templates, I group layers e.g Button, Banner, CommentBox etc etc. Now all the related layers are gouped, but if I sometime want to move 2 layers from Buttons, 3 layers from Banner, & 1 layer from CommentBox group, so I select all those layers (Searching for them in my Layer palette ) & move all together. Now I want to move them again I will search for all these layers again across those groups, so I want to save layer selections. e.g I select a few layers across different groups, & save the selection as 'LeftObjects' & similarly select some more layers and save this layer selection as 'RightObjects'. Now whenever I need to select all those left layers together I click the 'LeftObjects' selection & select all the layers for me saving me from searching for those layers.

I would really appreciate if someone could help, or suggest me  a step by step guide to a basic Photoshop plugin. I am a pretty good learner, so I would do it, but I just need a start.

Thank you all

Cheers.

Hello!

I'm in the process of figuring out the basics of creating Photoshop plugins using the SDK. Seems like most of the info and tutorials are somewhat dated and not so approachable. I have been able to build the Listener and Getter examples from the SDK using VS2015 and had Listener spitting out correct-seeming output. Now I would like to set up a Hello World project so that I understand the bare essentials required for a PS SDK Automation plugin. For my personal use I'm only interested in the Win version, but it seems easy enough to set things up so that Mac can be added later. I'm mostly a scripting guy with a tiny bit of C++ experience and I do not often set up Visual Studio projects. Here's what I've gathered so far:

Dir structure:

HelloWorldPlugin

HelloWorldPlugin\common

HelloWorldPlugin\win

(HelloWorldPlugin\mac)

Common files:

* PiPL (Plug-in Property List) describing what kind of plugin this is (e.g. HelloWorldPlugin\common\HelloWorldPluginPiPL.r). I stitched up a version that seems like it could work in todays world with 64-bit machines taken into account. It is a combo of code from Automation Tutorial.pdf from the SDK and some forum post somewhere. Here: HelloWorldPluginPiPL.r - Pastebin.com

* A source file with an entry point (duh :P). I'm working in C++ so this could be a function called PluginMain inside HelloWorldPlugin\common\HelloWorldPlugin.cpp. The function name is defined in the PiPL.

Windows/Visual Studio setup:

* Photoshop SDK includes in the VS Include Directories (e.g. $(PhotoshopSDK)\photoshopapi\photoshop;$(PhotoshopSDK)\samplecode\common\includes  [TODO: add rest of paths])

* Build PiPL info into the plugin (using Cnvtpipl.exe on Win), specifics unclear

* Output a DLL with .8li extension (VS Project Properties > Configuration Properties > General > Target Extension)

...aaaaand I think that's all I have for now. It's still unclear for me what are the bare essential contents of the main source file and PluginMain. If the only function of the plugin is to trigger an alert saying 'Hello World!', which \samplecode\common\includes\PI[SomethingSomething].h header files do I need to include if any? Which function do I use to actually trigger the alert!? On the Windows side, which resource files (e.g. resource.h, HelloWorldPlugin.rc) are absolutely essential and how to generate them? Have I missed something completely?

I'll keep on scanning the docs and the web for answers to my questions, but I wanted to write all this down just to clarify my thinking a bit and possibly attract tips from someone more knowledgeable.

Hi,

1) What kind of of RGB colorspace Photoshop uses internally sRGB, adobeRGB etc.?

Basically in/from what colorspace should i convert data in m,y format plug-in on rear/write?

Is it the same colorspase for all 8/16/32 bit modes?

2) What is the date range for 16 bit mode? is it u16 from 0-32K or from 0 to 64K?

Thank you.

I wrote an automation plugin and works fine. But, when look the System Info (Help | System Info), my plugin shows "NO VERSION". Can someone tell me how to specify a version.

Thanks

Hi Folks,

I have a client wanting to use Photoshop in so to call it server mode.

Basically it would be installed on a server and would use custom scripts for predefined actions on PSD files that are found in so to say input directory.

Mostly those are scaling and exporting operations for multiple targets.

I have to say that workload is quite high meaning that there could be 50 -100 files in the input directory and sometime normal Photoshop requires 2-5 minutes per input file, so considering that it would be great if "Server Photoshop" could take advantage of the clients server architecture (multiple processors with multiple cores - up to 128 cores).

Any help/your experience would be much appreciated.

Adobe had something called Adobe Graphics server but it is not available since 2008.

Does anyone know what are the other options.

Regards,

Momir Zecevic

Hi, I subscribe to the CC photography pack and keep everything up to date. I want to install an addon called Adobe Paper Textures Pro  [and others]. I go to the Adobe add ons site, either direct or via the link in PS, I make sure I'm signed in, creative cloud app is running and file syncing is on. I click on the install button and get the green tick telling me it is acquired. If I click view my add ons, it is listed and I'm told "You can locate the panel under the Window > Extensions menu from within Adobe Photoshop CC and CC 2014."

I start PS, click window>extensions but there is never anything there except the 3 items that are always there Adobe colour themes, recent files and OnOne. No matter how many times I try, it will not appear, Creative cloud app never shows any response and this happens with any add on.

What am I missing?

Thanks in anticipation, Neil.

error = sPSActionControl->AddNotify(gPlugInRef,

                                                           eventNotify, // event you want to listen for

                                                           EventSimulator, // Proc for listening routine.

                                                           NULL); // User data.

What is eventNotify?

The EventSimulator function is sometimes called but may not.

I want to run some process when Photoshop is run.

However, there are times when the EventSimulator function is not called.

What's the reason?

I'm trying to access my windows user variables on the machine but when I use `getenv()` or `getenv_s()` it's not returning any data....

Looking at scripting you acess them with `$.getenv()` so what would be the correct function in the C++ api?

For either Automation or Filter.
