Adobe Photoshop SDK

Adobe Photoshop SDK is a software development kit that allows programmers to enhance the functionality of the well known editing tool by creating plug-ins.

Using this toolkit, you are able to develop additional components for Adobe Photoshop using the C programming language.

Adobe Photoshop SDK makes it easy to integrate functionality for Photoshop by having it interact with applications from all kinds of mobile devices. Besides the plug-ins, the SDK also allows you to build extended panels that you can use to create new kinds of access paths for the tools you use.

Adobe Photoshop is without a doubt one of the most popular photo editing software out there and its tools are among the most powerful and versatile. Having the means to communicate with the application using third party applications can prove to be a great advantage to all.

The software development kit comes with an overview of what it takes to write a plugin and showcases the main types of available plugins. You also get help when it comes to callbacks and scripting.

Adobe Photoshop SDK provides header files in C, as well as source and resource packages. You get source code samples for all the possible plug-ins that you create. Every file that is available in the SDK is made to define the structures and serve as the core of the plug-in modules that you want to build.

With the Adobe Photoshop SDK you get the core modules that stand at the heart of Photoshop. You are free to use export, filter, color picker, selection and automation modules which provide you with everything you need from creating a simple selection of the image, to applying artistic filters and finally exporting the photo in a certain format.

In closing, if you have some C programming language skills and are a Photoshop user, then there is nothing stopping you from developing your own plugins which can improve not only your work but also that of others.
