  Hi all, My software uses the photoshop c++ connection SDK to script Photoshop (2024) by sending javascript code. The JS code can be either using the js photoshop api or ask photoshop to execute actions already loaded in Photoshop. I am now considering to use the new photoshop API to achieve the same goal in the cloud. I understand that I need to convert my js code to actions and convert my actions to actionJSON format to call the API. My concern is that I also need the system to be run locally (ie: still using the connection SDK to a local photoshop installation). Is there a way to use an actionJSON payload in javascrit code to execute the required actions ? Thanks for any hints you can share with me!

Hey,First of all, I really appreciate your efforts in making the Photoshop API, which has brought so much convenience to me. Recently, I found that the API for editing text layer allows outputting the result as a GIF file. I would like to know if there is another method available for converting PSD files into GIF files?Looking forward to your reply,Arnold

 I want to purchase Adobe Photoshop API (International) via aws market place,but it showed "you're not eligible for this offer"We are located in Taiwan, could you show us the solutions?

I have a PSD template with five layer templates, which include the background layer and four others converted to smart objects. The named layers are 'Table', 'Chair', 'Bed', and 'Oval' (an ellipse). My objective is to use the Photoshop API to fill these specific smart object layers with a single image, accommodating the varying aspect ratios. I tried with 2 methods:using /smartObject endpointusing /actionJSON endpoint 1st Option: using the /smartObject endpoint like this: require('dotenv').config(); const express = require('express'); const axios = require('axios'); const bodyParser = require('body-parser'); const cors = require('cors'); const sharp = require('sharp'); const Dropbox = require('dropbox').Dropbox; const app = express(); const port = 3001; // You can change the port as needed const dbx = new Dropbox({ accessToken: process.env.DROPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN }); app.use(cors()); app.use(bodyParser.json()); app.post('/exportData', async (req, res) => { console.

So I wanted to make a UXP plugin that helps with the enhancement of images using tools from an external AI service specifically the Leonardo.AI Alchemist and Canvas API to allow Photoshop users to use the AI to enhance their images this will NOT be an image generation alternative to Adobe's tools it will improve upon them and give users access to Leonardo's Models and Enhancement options to add depth,improvements or to work upon existing imagesI have read theDeveloper Additional Terms  and am concerned as Leonardo might use parts of the image to train new models I am not going to feed the output directly into there API but instead feed it into a custom API I will make myself that handles the output and I know The Leonardo.AI terms of service  allow you to retain your copyrights but they also may use the output to improve there models I have no control over what they do with the Import and export of data via there buessness API I am going to ask  them if they us

I am trying to convert RAW file to DNG 1.6 using SDK, however facing challenges in locating the APIs for different tags. so wanted to know if there is any API specification document available?

Hi, By Using actionJSON services we need to create pencil sketch of the image and download from browser.

Hi, I want to capture photoshop error events or any other other events in my own app. Can Someone help me with this? Do we have any APIs available for this? Please suggest some better approaches. Thanks.

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

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'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.
