Photoshop 2021 SDK guide... where is it?

Hey

 

I'd like to write some plugins for photoshop in c++ but when I go to > https://www.adobe.io/photoshop/uxp/guides/uxp_for_newbies/

 

I just get 404...  I checked that page 6 months ago, it had the same error.

Where do I go to learn the basics?

 

I would also like to understand why the official SDK documentation uses documents from 1999 version 1.6 release 1... I mean... really?


TIA!

Hi there!

UXP is so new that the documentation has been moving around a lot. UXP is the new 2020 modern JavaScript API. Here's a good place to start: Getting Started with UXP for Photoshop 

 

There are four different Photoshop APIs. The C++ SDK really does date back to 1999, but it's been updated for 2021: Photoshop Plugin Support for Apple Silicon; Required Recompile for C++ Plugins. (I'm still working on that article.)

 

This post would be better placed here: SDK 

 

Or consider asking about UXP in the new developer forums here: Photoshop

@greless Well these apis, I want to get docs. Specifically UPX for newbies. I'd like to learn how to make "hello world" and so on with upx.
