Hello,
in the FAQs of the Photoshop API's documentation it is said, that there are seven types of plugins, Import, Export, File Format, Filter, Selection, Color Picker, and Automation.
Which category does a "controller plugin" match? I'm thinking of a plugin processing external events to change brushsize while painting for example.
The newer generation of Wacom tablets feature using the rotate-tool/move-tool via multitouch or controlling the flow-property of brushes using the wheel on the Wacom airbrush. Is that functionality accessible via the Photoshop API? The documentation says in the FAQs: No plug-in tools.[...]No plug-in brushes.
I'm a bit confused. On the one hand the API seems very strict regarding what can be done and what can't be done, but on the other hand, plugins like BLUWIs lalala exist which I can't fit in any of the allowed categories. (http://vimeo.com/20951037)
I hope you can help me seeing things more clearly.
Thank you in advance.
Andrej
