DSLR/mirrorless camera tethering plug-in for Photoshop CC (and Elements)

Hi Kevin,

Thank you for follow up.

Let me thank you first for the correction, yes I meant for all desktop variants of Photoshop, which means the same plug-in will work on Elements, too.

I perfectly understand your use case, that's why I opened this discussion.

However, like you said, I think there are many hobbyists and low budget users which do not have both versions, Lightroom for tethering + Photoshop variant.

I don't used LR anymore, but from what I read in different forums, it seems live view is limited to latest Canon&Nikon models, and the Sony is not supported anymore. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Here is an image with the Canon camera settings I've made for the other application:

Users can change muliple camera settings and see real time preview.

When you said "Not everything I shoot goes into Photoshop. ", you gave me an ideea to add some project feature in the plug-in, by project, I am thinking about thubnails list with all captured images in a session, or something like this, from where users can open images in Photoshop documents. Not sure if it is a good ideea, but thinking "out loud" 🙂

There is a room for a possible other feature, after every captured image to automatically call any filters through automation scripts feature from Photoshop SDK.

Thank you,

Understanding the audience and intentions for the different applications would be a good start.

Speaking for myself, I wouldnt see a need for this in Photoshop - when I shoot I use LR.

If I am in LR and need to do heavier editing, I will send it over to PS for post processing. Not everything I shoot goes into Photoshop.

When you say "all photoshop editions" there is CC (desktop) only. iPad does not allow plugin/additions to the app, there is no "classic" Photoshop like Lighroom has, and Elements is targeted toward hobbyists.

That being said, if you feel there is a hole in the ecosystem that you can solve with a plugin, go for it!
