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 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 created an Action JSON file which I use with the Photoshop API and send to this endpoint.https://image.adobe.io/pie/psdService/actionJSONHowever this object does not do anything (doesn't work):{ _obj: "javaScriptOptionsClass", height: { _unit: "pixelsUnit", _value: 1440.0 }, limit: false, message: "Fit Image action settings", width: { _unit: "pixelsUnit", _value: 1080.0 }, },How can I fit an image with the action JSON to certain dimensions? Everything normal works, I have tested different other actions which work but not this one. Thanks in advance!

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.

Hello. I have a PSD file consisting of several layer groups. I'm trying to use the Photoshop JavaScript API to extract these layer groups into separate PSD files. This is the relevant section of my code: const axios = require('axios'); ... let psdData = { "inputs": [{ "href": presignedUrl, "storage": "external" }], "options": <options> }, "outputs": [{ "storage": "external", "type": <PSD type>, "href": uploadURL }] } let config = { method: 'post', maxBodyLength: Infinity, url: '<PSD service URL>', headers: { 'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + aioToken, 'x-api-key': aioApiKey, headers }, data: JSON.stringify(psdData) }; let resp = await axios.request(config); The layer groups have predictable names, that could be hardcoded if needed (although this is not ideal).What should go into <options>, <PSD type> and <PSD service URL> to ach

I've successfully made an API call to Execute Photoshop Actions From This API POST request (by providing an image and action file) which  returns _links self href(something like this https://image.adobe.io/pie/psdService/status/a60eacae-8f38-42e1-93b1-70fd77e74a40) I was exspecting to get a url path (text) to the image or something that the actions were performed on, does anyone know how I get the results of what the actions did? Thank You!   

I have OAuth Server-to-server setup for the Adobe Photoshop API. When I initialize the call to the endpoint https://image.adobe.io/pie/psdService/photoshopActions I get a 200 response (_links self href) with the job id at the end.{  "_links": {    "self": {      "href": "https://image.adobe.io/pie/psdService/status/b6b387d1-3368-447d-9fb6-5ee3c5539183"    }  }}The problem is when I paste this into another browser window I keep getting:{"error_code":"401013","message":"Oauth token is not valid"} In my photoshop developer console I see the quota used is also registering the calls made. If my the api call is being made and the response (200) is working as above why do I continue to get "Oauth token is not valid"?I'm using OAuth server-to-server  The endpoint POST Im calling is the Execute Photoshop Actions.Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am trying to use the photoshop API, I read the docs of the authorization and it says the way to connect with this api is the OAUTH token, but when created a project i dont show the option to conect it the Oauth, only the JWT, but when I tryed to  use the POSTMAN with the JWT, it says that OAUTH token is not valid.Some know where I can find this oauth or if i am doing some thing wrong

Hi Photoshop Developers,   It is with great excitement that we announce the release of the Photoshop API Action JSON endpoint to the public. The documentation for this feature is now live and can be found here. Similar to the Photoshop Actions endpoint, this api also allows you to apply a Photoshop Action to an image programmatically. However, there are a few key differences which give you added flexibility.   Ability to modify the payload converting your static .atn file into a dynamic one. You don’t need to upload and store your .atn file as you do with the Photoshop Actions endpoint.   The functionality actionJSON unlocks has long been requested and we are excited to see what you build with it!

Hi,My client - who intends to use the Photoshop API for his customers service, needs me to implement the current workflow :- Taking a photo and upload it to our server- Inserting it in a existing PSDs which already have layer effects- Execute the corresponding ATN- Get the result in PNG formatWe already know how to implement 95% of this workflow, but we don't find any info about the possibility to insert an image in a existing PSDs (stored in AWS S3)Do you have any informations about this ?Kind regardsGrégory
