I do the following in a plugin:  Auto_Desc result(false); Auto_Ref reference; OnErrorReturn(sPSActionReference->PutEnumerated(reference.get(), classDocument, typeOrdinal, enumTarget)); OnErrorReturn(sPSActionControl->Get(&result, reference.get())); This works well since a long time. But we have one specific Wind-PC at a customer, where the "Get"-call takes up to 4min.It seems to me that the reason is a specific setting at that PC, but we have no idea what it could be.Any idea how to solve this problem? The settings of the PC:Intel i7Windows11, Version 2009OS-Language: Dutch, PS Version 25.2.0 This problem appears in PS 2024 and 2023, but not in older Versions

HelloI'm using Photoshop API Scripts and I want to turn on and off FX only on the layer, but I don't know what to do 

Hi everyone, i have a strange behavior and hope someone could help. I created a photoshop plugin where menus are created. These menus are shown on any normal Mac. when i load the plugins on an Mac M2, the menu is not shown. I compiled the plugin as Universal binary to be able to run on both architectures. I use the C++ SDK. Created Plugins for Illustrator and InDesign work out of the box.

I found a buffer overrun risk in C++ SDK (PIutilities.cpp) code, but can I report it here?at years before there is a forum to discuss the C++ SDK. but several years later now I can not find it. I donot know if it is appropriate to discuss it here. Can anyone have any suggestions?

HI,Photoshop layers are stored in tag or field 37724, identified as TIFFTAG_IMAGESOURCEDATA in the latest libtiff.The data blob shall be an array of uint8_t, and shall be headed by a magic signature that is one of the following null terminated ASCII strings:for standard Photoshop files, Adobe Photoshop Document Data Block.for Large Document Format (8BPB/PSB) files, Adobe Photoshop Document Data V0002 (the last five characters differ).After the magic signature, the remainder of the blob is comprised of a series of Additional Layer Information blocks:signature: 8BIM (4 bytes)block type (4 bytes)length of the block (4 bytes, variable, padded to a 4-byte offset)data of the block (length as above)The Technical Notes say that these are the available block types:Layr (layer block)LMsk (global mask info block)Patt (pattern definition block)Anno (annotations)Has anyone figured how to get the individual layer details using lib

I'm a programmer and would like to write a script that can load an ABR brushes file exported from photoshop, make some changes to it and write it to disk again.  I need a PDF or similar that describes the file format of this file.  I know these usedto be available, but can no longer locate any  with a web search.  Where could I find some technical documentation for the ABR file format?

With the new version 25.0 and 25.1, I am no longer able to access the reference for 'adobe photoshop 2024 type library to add to my VS solution. I am able to access it in 24.7.2. (Interop.Photoshop.dll). I have updated C++ updates for VS. Please let me know if any one else has been able to successful load the DLL and the steps.  Thank you in advance.

Hi, Is there a way to both modify document (client.modifyDocument) and replace a smart object (client.replaceSmartObject) in one api call instead of two? Thanks

Hi All,I want to get the adjustment layer Kind value by using Photoshop SDK in C++.I have attached the screenshot which contains different adjustment layer Kind values.Please provide C++ code to get the adjustment layer kind values.Can anyone please help me with the above!

Hi All,I want to identify the linked layers by using Photoshop SDK in C++.Can anyone please help me with the above!

I am currently developing an external c++ command line app to parse a photoshop tif file .Using the file format (https://www.adobe.com/devnet-apps/photoshop/fileformatashtml/)37724tImageSourceData . Begins with the null-terminated string " Adobe Photoshop Document Data Block ", (**PSB** " Adobe Photoshop Document Data V0002 "), followed by data of various types. See Photoshop TIFF.pdf for a list .I want to get the all layer and layer set details along with the blend mode , opacity , visibility etc.Also need to save the layer and layer mask images data as png or in binary.It's important that I stick with c++ & that this be an external application, so the Plugin SDK isn't much help here. I would really appreciate any thoughts/suggestions on the matter. Thanks all.

Using the following characterStyles, only font size is working, can't change color, underline, etc.:const options = {layers: [{edit: {},name: "test",text: {content: "Testing 123",orientation: "horizontal",characterStyles: [{underline:true,fontSize: 75,fontCaps: "allCaps",color: {blue: 300,green: 100,red: 63}}]}},]}

Hi,I've been attempting to utilize the Photoshop API to execute certain actions but have encountered an obstacle related to storing the output.My intention is to use Dropbox for storing my outputs. However, I am encountering challenges when trying to run the actions.I have experimented with Photoshop actions files and actionJson, but unfortunately, I've encountered the same issue with both methods.Here is my request array:2 [ "headers" => [ "Authorization" => "my_auth" "x-api-key" => "my_key" ] "json" => [ "inputs" => [ 0 => [ "storage" => "external" "href" => "https://this_is_my_image_file_and_it_is_reachable.jpg" ] ] "options" => [ "actionJSON" => // My actions ] "outputs" => [ 0 => [ "storage" => "external" "href" => "https://content.dropboxapi.com/apitul/1/my_dropbox_temp_link" "type" => "image/jpeg" "embedColorProfile" =>

I want to use text endpoint with "from" and "to" options, but there are no options.I know there are in "pie/psdService/documentOperations" endpoint, but this can't edit without original font if there aren't preset-font.Do you know somehow to use like "from" "to" in text edit endpoint?

Hello, I have already programmed a Photoshop plugin and put it in the marketplace for free.Now I am working on my second plugin. This time I want to sell it.Now I am not sure if selling it as a subscription or for a fixed price works better.Therefore my question,may I publish the same plugin under different names to offer different payment methods?E.g..Name 1 : My-pluginname -->(for subscription model)Name 2 : My-pluginname Lifetime -->( for one time payment)both would get all updates, but the customer can choose if he prefers to pay subscription or one time paymentalso, how are your experiences with selling plugins. Is it worth it at all?

Does the input/output need to be a presigned url or can they be public (for the GET status of a job - API call)?  The Documentation for General workflow (located here) says  "The Photoshop API works with any public or signed url" but the programmer helping me says it needs to be presigned to work hoping someone could clarify. {"jobId": "f54e0fcb-260b-47c3-b520-de0d17dc2b67","outputs": [{"input": "presigned_GET_URL","status": "string","created": "string","modified": "string","_links": {}}],

Dear Community,As a fellow developer, I've recently ventured into using Photoshop for a project, and I must say it has proven to be an invaluable tool. Specifically, I've been impressed with its capabilities for background removal, applying shadows to subjects, and, most notably, the Generative Fill feature. This feature, driven by prompts, has the remarkable ability to generate highly realistic backgrounds for images.However, there is a significant limitation – the standard Photoshop API lacks an endpoint for the Generative Fill feature, rendering it impractical for commercial use. Therefore, I would like to reach out to individuals within Adobe or Adobe support to inquire about the potential release timeline for the Generative Fill endpoint within the Photoshop API.Your insights and assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.Warm regards,Vinay S.
