 I need to convert .psd files to .json and this must support smart objects, this means, data should contain warp information.I was able to extract the relevant information but I can't do it with the smart objects.What do I need to take into account to achieve this?Is there any language and library that will make it easier for me to complete the job?.  

I am developing a Photoshop UXP panel plugin, but the panel icon does not appear.The plugin itself loads correctly, but the icon for the panel is missing.I checked my manifest.json, especially the icon settings, but I cannot figure out what is wrong.Am I defining the panel icon incorrectly?Here is only the relevant part of my manifest.json with private details removed:{ "entrypoints": [ { "type": "panel", "id": "my-panel", "label": { "default": "My Plugin" }, "icons": [ { "width": 23, "height": 23, "path": "icons/panel-dark.png", "scale": [1, 2], "theme": ["darkest", "dark", "medium"] }, { "width": 23, "height": 23, "path": "icons/panel-light.png", "scale": [1, 2], "theme": ["lightest", "light"] } ] } ], "icons": [ { "width": 48, "height": 48, "path": "icons/plugin-dark.png", "scale": [1, 2], "the

Currently, Photoshop names Generative Fill layers using the full AI prompt, which often results in very long file names appearing in the document tabs. This makes it harder to quickly navigate between multiple open files.Proposed Solution:Instead of displaying the full prompt in the file name tab, use a short identifier such as:“AI Layer” or a simple symbol/icon indicating AI-generated contentThe full prompt can still be preserved in:Layer metadata Properties panel Tooltip on hoverExpected Outcome:Cleaner, more compact file tabs Faster file navigation in multi-document workflows Reduced visual clutter without losing prompt dataThis keeps the interface minimal while still retaining all the important information in the background.

Adobe Photoshop Version: 27.5.0 20260314.m.3457 1720e4b  x64 (beta, PublicBeta)Windows 10Steps:Select something with the marquee tool, or other selection tool click “Select Inverse” in the contextual task bar use the brush tool on the selection try to press crtl + z or other keyboard shortcuts it doesn’t work! for some reason!I wanted to type out a more detailed description with more examples but I somehow submitted this before I was done typing. This has actually been happening for a while but I just was ignoring it.I cannot figure out how to consistently get the keyboard shortcuts working again other than waiting for a while and clicking seemingly random things on the screen. 

En la sección de curvas se desconfiguran y la línea ya no la puedo mover después de un tiempo para hacer ajustes en la imagen. Solamente se mueve con las teclas de movimiento. Después de desconfigurarse  la sección de curvas todo photoshop falla 

1. When will the next version of Photoshop be released after updating to 27.5?2. Why is there no date in Settings > Installed Apps after successfully updating to 27.5?

I’m having an issue with the new Rotate Object feature in Photoshop Beta 27.6.0.The option is grayed out in the Contextual Task Bar, and I can’t click it.Here’s what I’ve already checked/tested: Photoshop Beta 27.6.0 Creative Cloud Pro account RGB 8-bit Rasterized layer & smart object Tried it in Transform mode Tried a brand new file with a transparent background Color profile set to sRGB IEC61966-2.1 Tried both PNG and JPG Tried it with my own object image Also tried it with a free Adobe Stock image, and it still did not work

After 30 years of working with photoshop, content aware fill is acting odd. It fills in the desired area with strange  mixes of the sampled content. It used to pick up one what was in the edges and intelligently fill in the blanks. I am using the same techniquest I’ve been using for DECADES. I want to emphasize again that I’ve been using this app for a VERY long time and this is not user error. You folks need to review this and fix it. I added this under “Photshop Developers” but I am talking about the

Dès que j’ouvre photoshop mes outils ne s’affiches pas. J’ai essayer de les masqué puis les affichés, j’ai éteint démarré, encore éteint encore démarré mais absolument rien n’y fait, à chaque fois c’est le même problème depuis la version 27 et c’est extrêmement pénible. J’ai désinstallé photoshop puis réinstallé mais rien y fais… Résolvez ce problème s’il vous plait. 

Photoshop バージョン: 27.4.0問題:キャンバスサイズの変更がアクションに記録されない。詳細:Photoshop 27.4.0 で新規アクションを作成し、キャンバスサイズを変更すると、ステップ自体は記録されますが、幅と高さの値が保存されません。そのため、アクションを実行してもキャンバスサイズが変更されません。テスト結果:同じ操作は Photoshop 26.11.3 では正常に動作します。26.11.3 で作成したアクションは、Photoshop 27.4.0 でキャンバスサイズを正しく記録し、正常に動作します。結論:これは Photoshop 27.4.0 のアクションレコーダーのバグであると思われます。

Photoshop version: 27.4.0 Problem:Canvas Size changes are not recorded in Actions. Details:When creating a new action in Photoshop 27.4.0 and changing the Canvas Size, the step is recorded but the width and height values are not saved. Therefore the canvas size does not change when the action is played. Test results:The same operation works correctly in Photoshop 26.11.3.Actions created in 26.11.3 record the Canvas Size correctly and run normally in Photoshop 27.4.0. Conclusion:This appears to be a bug in the Action Recorder in Photoshop 27.4.0.

I built a UXP plugin for Photoshop 27.5 on Windows. The panel renders perfectly, I can see all the UI elements, buttons, sliders, everything. But nothing is clickable. The entire panel is frozen.Other plugins installed on my machine like AI Lab and Color Designer work perfectly with full click interaction.Things I have tried:Installed via CCX through Creative Cloud Developer mode off and on sp-theme wrapper pointer-events auto in CSS Official Adobe plugin ID from Developer Console apiVersion 2 in manifestMy manifest has manifestVersion 6, apiVersion 2. The plugin ID is registered on Adobe Developer Console. Single index.html file with all JS inline.What is different about a properly working plugin that would cause clicks to work vs mine being frozen?

Hello, I would like to use the Photoshop API for my project, but I'm not sure how to get started. Our company already has an active Adobe Creative Cloud subscription (enterprise/team plan). I'd like to know: 1. Do we need to sign up for a separate API access, or is the Photoshop API included in our existing subscription?2. Where can I obtain the API credentials (Client ID, Client Secret, etc.)?3. Are there any additional costs or usage limits associated with the Photoshop API?4. What is the correct process to set up a project on the Adobe Developer Console and enable the Photoshop API?5. Is there any official documentation or quickstart guide you would recommend? Any guidance or step-by-step instructions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Add the ability to paint brush strokes as lines, like in Fresco. When you draw a stroke in Fresco and hold at the end, a perfect line is drawn using your current brush. The only way to accomplish this now in Photoshop is to either Shift-tap (which draws a line from your starting point but with no indication like a rubber band) or to create a path then stroke the path with your brush. Both of these methods are outdated and cumbersome. The Fresco method is much easier and modern.

Hello Adobe,I’m developing a UXP plugin that normalizes transformed text layers (similar to Free Transform → Apply behavior). The goal is to recreate the text layer cleanly with the same visual appearance — same text, font, color, and point size, but without transformation.While this works perfectly using ExtendScript (JSX), in UXP the results are inconsistent:The new text appears much smaller than the original when the source layer was a paragraph text (area text).Multiple new layers are created at random positions far from the original location.The effective visual font size calculation based on boundsNoEffects vs. a clean text layer width seems unreliable in UXP.It appears that UXP’s text creation and measurement APIs (batchPlay, bounds, textKey.textShape) handle paragraph text differently than JSX, breaking proportional scaling and position tracking.Could you please investigate or confirm if this is a known limitation of the UXP Photoshop API?We need consistent behavior between JSX

Hello everyone,I am getting started in Photoshop plugin development, i am a C developer but even with the documentation I cannot understand at all how Photoshop Xcode projects works, I'm trying to have a basic "from scratch" project by creating a macOS bundle (exported as a plugin), added the necessary infos in info.plist (like the plugin type) and a minimal PiPLs.json is /Ressources/  But I cannot get the plugin to even show up at all in the list of filters, the PluginMain function doesnt do anything particular, and i'd like to understand the requirements so a photoshop plugins shows up in the filter list. I could not understand that from the example projects.Thanks a lot !(Photoshop 2026, ,macOS,sdk 2026 v2) 

I want to create an automation in n8n where I can upload a PSD template file containing dynamic variables, and the system will automatically apply the data inside that template. I created a developer account, but I don’t see any option to purchase the required API service. Once I’m able to access the API, I will start working on this project. any one can help me to do that.

Hi everyone  ! I am trying to do an uxp plugin for photoshop, and in that project I a m trying to recreate a script I made as an extended script to automate some actions. One of them I do pretty often is to move a layer inside a group once I made some changes. Such as :  if (cameraLayer.parent !== infoATCGroup) { cameraLayer.move(infoATCGroup, ElementPlacement.INSIDE);But I do not see any of this in the documentation for uxp and when I use what I see in the plugin Alchemist while moving a layer intoy a group, it does not work and occurs an error  when I try to use the same syntax in my uxp plugin. Here is an exemple of what I see with Alchemist : const {executeAsModal} = require("photoshop").core; const {batchPlay} = require("photoshop").action; async function actionCommands() { const result = await batchPlay( [ { _obj: "move", _target: [ { _ref: "layer",

Hi everyone,I’ve been working on a custom UXP plugin called ChatGPT Bridge (v1.0.0). It loads successfully in Adobe UXP Developer Tools, but when I load it inside Photoshop (v26.7.0) the panel appears — yet it’s completely blank. No HTML content is rendered.Setup details:- Plugin name: ChatGPT Bridge- Version: 1.0.0- Photoshop version: 26.7.0- Manifest version: 5- Files included: `manifest.json`, `index.js`, `bridge-panel.html`- Folder structure is correct, and the plugin loads fine in UXP Dev Tools without errorsIssue:When I open the panel in Photoshop, the JS code runs (alert tests confirm this), but `bridge-panel.html` never displays. The panel window is visible but empty.Troubleshooting done so far:- Verified manifest structure and file paths- Confirmed HTML file exists and is referenced correctly- Replaced `.png` icon with `.ico` format per Photoshop UXP requirements- Tested with `document.body.innerHTML` to check if the HTML is being read (no visible output)- Restarted Photoshop

Here's an example using the active document name without extension:   var docName = app.activeDocument.name.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, ""); var d = new ActionDescriptor(); d.putString(stringIDToTypeID("textData"), docName); executeAction(stringIDToTypeID("textToClipboard"), d, DialogModes.NO);    P.S.: Rather than assuming the ruler units, it's often safer to explicitly set them:   var w = app.activeDocument.width.as('px'); var h = app.activeDocument.height.as('px');   var origRulerUnits = app.preferences.rulerUnits; app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.INCHES; // Units.PIXELS etc var w = app.activeDocument.width.value; var h = app.activeDocument.height.value; app.preferences.rulerUnits = origRulerUnits;  

Hello, everybody!My task is: a script, that copies the dimensions of an image (or other predefined text) to the system clipboard: #target Photoshop var w = Math.round(activeDocument.width); var h = Math.round(activeDocument.height); var str = "image size is : " + w + " X " + h;My question is: How to copy "str" to system clipboard? 

 Hi,I have an older native C++ plugin built using Photoshop 2022 SDK. I’m trying to communicate with a UXP plugin using PIUXPSuite.In my native plugin, inside the StartUpPlugin function, I have the following code:  if (!sUxpProcs) { LOG_TRACE((0, "🔧 [UXP-LISTENER] Acquiring PIUXPSuite for message listening")); SPErr e = sSPBasic->AcquireSuite(kPSUXPSuite, kPSUXPSuiteVersion1, (const void**)&sUxpProcs); if (e != kSPNoError) { LOG_TRACE((0, "❌ [UXP-LISTENER] Failed to acquire PIUXPSuite: %d (0x%08X)", e, e)); } else { LOG_TRACE((0, "✅ [UXP-LISTENER] PIUXPSuite acquired for listening: %p", sUxpProcs)); // Get plugin information using available SPBasicSuite methods LOG_TRACE((0, "🆔 [PLUGIN] Plugin Reference: %p", gPlugInRef)); // Add UXP message listener SPErr listenerResult = sUxpProcs->AddUXPMessageList
