Photoshop Developers

OK, so I am trying to develop a plugin that I have always hoped would be made, but as it hasn't I am attempting to do it myself. I have the basic husk done, but now looking at functionality (this is where it gets harder). First step, I have been trying to get a action on a button click which seems to be possible based on ressearch, but I can't achieve yet.I want the on click to have a function auto search and select the presets/brush folder.All my attempts have resulted in this:✗ Access failed for /Applications/Adobe Photoshop 2025.app/Presets/Brushes: Could not find an entry of 'file:///Applications/Adobe%20Photoshop%202025.app/Presets/Brushes'How can I resolve this?thanks in advanceRob

Hello, let me introduce myself, I'm Antonio, a Spaniard who has been using Photoshop [inappropriate language removed] for more than 20 years. I'm not an expert, because I always repeat the same 4 things I do, but I'm attentive to all your comments and at some point I'd like to help you.   A small question, is anyone creating tools with Python?   I would like to solve a major problem, I have scanned more than 100 letter-sized sheets where there are 3 or 4 or 5 images, I want to separate each image and save them with a new name, I think the only way would be to create an order that separates by layers and saves the spaces with the image and distinguishes the empty spaces, any help would be very grateful.   Greetings from Spain.

 Hello, I should apply a effect simular as the image on a other image I'm working on. Would anyone know a link of a simular photoshop action effect like this? I already searched in Envato but no result yet. Many thanks for the 'golden tip'😊

I am seeing an issue that started today that is affecting an existing service that we have been using with Adobe for some time. The error message is very vague so I am not sure if it is on our end or Adobe's. Can someone point me in correct direction to find paid support for this as well? Step 1: Request the token to use the services from : https://ims-na1.adobelogin.com/ims/token/v3Request: POST- client_id- client_secret- grant_type- scope Response: sends back the "access_token" along with some other data Step 2:Make a request to "https://image.adobe.io/pie/psdService/text" with a json body of: {  "inputs": [    {      "href": "https://www.omnant.com/IL.PSD",      "storage": "external"    }  ],  "options": {    "layers": [      {        "name": "DisplayName",        "text": {          "contents": "Bob Smith"

Hello Adobe Team and Community,I am developing a UXP plugin for Photoshop and have encountered a critical issue where I cannot access pixel data from layers. This issue is occurring in both Photoshop Stable version 26.7.0 and Photoshop Beta version 26.8.0.Problem Description:For any standard pixel layer (including newly created documents with a single painted layer), the UXP API reports:layer.type as undefined.layer.pixelMap as undefined.This prevents my plugin from using layer.pixelMap.read() to access pixel data, which is essential for its functionality (a waveform monitor). Consequently, my plugin's panel menu item ("ColorScope Panel") is grayed out and unclickable in Photoshop's "Plugins" menu in both versions.Steps to Reproduce (in both Photoshop 26.7.0 and Beta 26.8.0):Create a UXP plugin with the manifest.json provided below.Use JavaScript code within the plugin (relevant waveform.js snippet also below) to attempt to access layer details and pixel data.In Photoshop: a. Create a

Hello, I'm looking to get into photoshop scripting but was curious if my ideas are even possible to begin with.What I'd like to make:- a hotkey for a specific brush- a hotkey for alternating between two brush flow settings (e.g. press once = brush flow 20%, press twice = 80%, press again = back to 20%)Thank you!

 Hi everyone,I’m working on a commercial project that requires the ability to generate PSD files programmatically, with full control over layers and design elements.I’d like to understand how to get access to the Adobe Photoshop API for this purpose.Specifically:What is the process to request API access?Are there any requirements, costs, or approval steps for commercial use?Where can I find relevant documentation or contact someone directly?Thanks in advance for your help!

I am looking for a developer to build a solution.It's a simple repetative task but I need the solution to recognize people in the image and according to predetermined acceptable parameters, rotate and or crop using content aware fill to neaten the edges of an outfit or fill in the backdrop. I understand that it appears simple but is complex at the same time and am open to accepting all proposals.

Any recomendations on how to log the timestamp of a selected layer in photoshops video timeline?For example: After clicking a layer in the layer panel, photoshop highlights the layer in the video timeline. Is there a way to log the JSX were that layer is in the timeline? (screen shot attached of a selected layer in the layer panel and the layer highlighted in the timeline)PSD with timline setup: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XZAU3Pxb6RtSuplL_rfsmh1KY7BHBbG1/view?usp=sharing 

Hi community,I am a FileMaker database developer and have my archive of over 100thousand pictures set up in a custom FileMaker database solution. Up to a couple of years ago, I had no issues opening a .JPG or RAW file directly from FileMaker, based on a hard-coded path.Right now, this feature is failing. Has been for quite a while. And I do not understand why that is. Is there anybody out there who can help me with this? There is another complication. Due to repeatedly failing external memory devices, I have decided to store my originals in the Cloud. This introduces a new issue. The two platforms I am considering, allow for placeholders of files in the Cloud file structure. Which means I can double click on such a placeholder and it will then download in its correct location and open.  I am a Mac user and double clicking as described above works well and the file will open immediately in Photoshop. Pointing to the file in the placeholder location has proven to be imposs

I need help creating an automation solution within Photoshop that is beyond my grasp of actions / automation API. The functions are basic - light cropping to correctly center and straighten heads, slight color correction, a touch of sharpening and vignetting. The client works with a jpeg workflow. I am already semi-automated with actions that fulfil all needs with manual input for the crop. Is there a way around this inside Photoshop? My understanding is that I would probably need a developer to create a solution using of Python / PIL / Mediapipe.

Hi all, I have a question regarding running ExtendedScript files via Python in Photoshop 2025: Has something changed under the hood that does impact this? Thing is, I have various scripts in .jsx file format that run perfectly fine when I run them from Python + COM in Photoshop 2024 via Visual Studio Code, but when I run the exact same scripts in Photoshop 2025 Visual Studio Code they always give exactly the same error: pywintypes.com_error: (-2147352567, 'Exception occurred.', (0, 'Adobe Photoshop', 'Illegal argument - argument 1\n- Required value is missing', None, 0, -2147220262), None) Even a .jsx only containing a very simple alert("Hello from Photoshop");will give exactly the same error in Photoshop 2025 but not in Photoshop 2024 (Visual Studio Code).  Now, when I run all these scripts directly inside Photoshop (2024/2025) via the scripts menu, they also work. So the issue seems to be specifically when sending the scripts to Photoshop via P

Hello, I followed the official documents scattered across the Internet and finally wrote this code. But for some reason, even I used the exactly same name with the plugin, the log wrote “Failed to retrive plugin.” here, which means gPluginSuite→GetNamedPlugin() didn’t work out and no plugin reference has been retrieved so that I couldn’t use it on sUxpProcs→SendUXPMessage(gPlugInRef, UXP_MANIFEST_ID, desc); Can anyone help me?c.f. From the log file, I confirmed this function has been automatically called when I open up my plugin. (Because this is not the automation plugin nor the filter plugin so I couldn’t use any examples on the example code on the website.)#include <exception> #include <stdexcept> #include <string> #include <fstream> #include "utilities/UxpAddon.h" #include "utilities/UxpTask.h" #include "utilities/UxpValue.h" #include "SPBasic.h" #include "SPPlugs.h" // Required for SPPlugins suite #include "SPProps.h" // Required for accessing plugin prop

From what I’ve been reading here, Adobe allows us to make HTTP requests to their cloud services (specifically, their Photoshop APIs) in order to process PSD files and certain images. However, these cloud services have limitations. In particular, we can run locally recorded actions in the cloud, but I’ve not yet found any information about running scripts in the cloud, which is strange. I understand that scripts might have some nasty code, but you can always execute them in isolated environments. So, is it correct that these Adobe services still don’t allow us to run scripts? My use case is that I have many PSD files, which we usually process with a script. Each of them can take several hours to finish, which means that processing these scripts can take days. Moreover, we ofen need to process these PSD files again, which is a huge setback for productivity. Ideally, we’d like to run the scripts for each PSD file in parallel, in this way processing all of them should not take more th

I have it on the list in the ESTK:     I've found all three copies - and renamed them in the hope, that ESTK will download them again (like it has done for InDesign and InCopy):     But no luck ... yet, as per 1st screenshot - it still sees it and displays something in DataBrowser - bottom-right corner - so this OMV file must be somewhere??   No - I don't need it for writing scripts in JS - I need this OMV file to extract data for my VB6 application.  

exportSelectionAsFileTypePressed seems to be asynchronous. I hope that after this method is executed, the image is generated and the byte data is completely written, and then the subsequent code is executed.

I am a solo-developer that has been working on an application over the last couple of years that is completely dependant on the Photoshop API. I took a break from this project for about a year, and recently completed and am ready to publish. I have been using the Photoshop API free credits for development, and now that I am ready to publish I see that it has been completely restricted to Enterprise customers (my remaining credits and credentials still work though).  Of course, it is my fault for creating something dependant on a third-party service, but I just want to rant. I have absolutely no problem paying for the service and always had expected to, but now I'm not even allowed to. Enterprise requires a company with at least 50 employees and minimum three-year contract. They allowed us free trials to create on the platform then pull it out from under us. 

I want to use applescript to open each file in a particular folder into PHOTOSHOP, resize it, and overwrite the original file. I can't actually OPEN the files. I've got to be missing something basic.  

I'm animating in photoshop.I have all the frames highlighted, and would like to set each frame duration on 2's. When I adjust the size of one of them, only that one frame gets adjusted, but not all the other frames that are highlighted.Thank you.

Hi,A few months ago I found that Photoshop can´t save Photoshop PDF images that have a dimension larger than 30,000 pixels. I needed it to convert CMYK images with spot colors (another are very ignored area) to PDF.Therefore, I wrote my own tool in Python that does that: takes TIFF images in CMYK or monochrome (gray levels) and assembles them into a PDF, any size, with less than 20 objects. I used a wonderful module (mPdf.py) from Didier Stevens and the zlib library to compress the bitmaps / It works nicely, although Acrobat is slow displaying a 40,000x20,000 pixel image with color planesNow the question: has anybody used zlib in Python, in an advanced manner?I have used zlib and compressed the bitmaps, but I know that if I use /Filter /FlateDecode and add /DecodeParams with Predictor 2, the bitmaps from TIFF images will compress much better. However, have not found info on how to use it rather than the original zlib C code, which indicates a setting for the filter should be specified

Hi, I am using the create document endpoint to pass in 6 images of size ~400 kb each and the psd file I get back is about 34 mb.  Any ideas why this is happening and how can I control it? I tried to read the documentation and searched the internet but found nothing that could help me. My function to create psd is as follows. Width is always 1920, height is 1000 and resolution is 72I have also attached my input files and the resulting psd    async function createPsdWithMultipleLayers(srcUrls, headers, outputUrl, width, height) { try { const api_url = 'https://image.adobe.io/pie/psdService/documentCreate'; const inputs = srcUrls.map((url, index) => ({ type: "layer", input: { storage: "external", href: url }, name: `Layer ${index + 1}` })); const payload = { options: { document: {

I'm having an issue with the Photoshop API in Adobe Developer Console. I can't use the API anymore when creating a new project. I recently changed my Adobe login details and I feel like it may have something to do with that? Please help!

The PIPL file starts with the Property List structure, and the first field of that structure is the 4-byte version number, which is 0. However, when I load a Photoshop filter plugin into software that allows viewing and extracting of resources in an EXE or DLL files, and I extract the PIPL resource, and view it in a hex editor. I find there are 2 bytes BEFORE the 4-byte version field. These first 2 bytes are 0x01 0x00. And nothing in the Photoshop SDK would lead me to believe that there should be any data before the version field of the Property List structure. Can someone here explain what those first 2 bytes in the resource are supposed to be?

Adobe it's no longer developing Photoshop scripting .jsx as mentioned here (N.B. table at bottom of the page) The big question is which update will Extendscript and Action manager scripts be finally phased out?  And will they be up front about it?
