I've heard it was possible, can you help me ?

What is Qt?

[alain-fr]

it's a sdk name Qt (or "Cute") with langage C++

[Nancy OShea]

When I think of UI/UX design, I think of  Adobe XD (Experience Design) and vector graphics created in Illustrator.

this link gives an example

I am looking for users who have already tested this, not only for QML in Qt but also Desktop C++ Qt

It looks like you have to install the Qt Bridge extension for Photoshop before you can export image layers.

The Adobe Photoshop Bridge is a part of Qt Design Studio, which is for Designing QML. The Photoshop Bridge generates QML from Photoshop files and C++ is not supported in Design Studio itself.

In order to generate UI's from your Photoshop File you will need both the Qt Bridge Plugin for Photoshop, an up to date version of Photoshop CC and Qt Design Studio (the plugin and PS for exporting your PSD's and Design Studio for importing them and developing the UI screens.) The plugin itself allows you to define how parts of your design should be interpreted by Design Studio and export your artwork assets. On import into Design Studio the exported metadata from the photoshop files will be converted in QML - Qt's declarative language used for creating UI's. You can sign up for an evaluation license here - Qt UI Design Tools and after installing the Design Studio package you will have the plugin as well. Instructions for setting up the bridge can be found here: Exporting Designs from Adobe Photoshop | Qt Design Studio Manual  and a Webinar focusing on how to use the plugin can be found here - From Photoshop to Prototype with Qt Design Studio {On-demand webinar} - YouTube 

Hope this helps somewhat
