Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 Plugin

Jagir

Yes i am talking about Qt framework.
Adobe Photoshop written using Qt.

You probably have to use their SDK: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/photoshop.html

Hi
You must own a copy of
Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Professional Edition (64-bit tools installed)
The free version will not work.
It must be that compiler or photoshop WILL never load ur plugin.

But if you are new to programming, the plugin SDK will be really hard for you.
Its hardcore C. really hardcore. unforgiven.

What shall this plugin do?
Are you sure you cannot just use scripting as it can
do almost the same things as plugins.

VIsual Studio 2013 Community Edition works, yet it's free. It has the same features as the Professional Edition.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

I have created entire plugin in Qt framework.
First , I want integrate one blank form to adobe photoshop cc 2015 inside filter menu.
GUI is ready , but now i want that plugin in filter menu.

I follow echo plugin tutorial : http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwidgets-tools-echoplugin-example.html

Now i want this echo plugin inside filter menu of adobe photoshop cc 2015.
What changes should I do?
What steps should i follow that help me to deploy this plugin in adobe photoshop cc 2015.?

I am using trial version of Adobe Photoshop CC 2015.
I have downloaded Adobe Photoshop SDK cc_2015
I am using Qt Creator v5.5.

I refer following links :-
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwidgets-tools-echoplugin-example.html
https://forum.qt.io/topic/5858/qt-photoshop-mac-migration-problem
https://forum.qt.io/topic/60303/invert-selection/1
and many.

I also study following project
http://forum.qt.io/topic/21651/libqpsd-qt-c-plugin-for-photoshop-document-psd-psb
but this could not help me for the same.

If possible then please explain it using complete working example , so that i can learn from it.

Please reply me as soon as possible.

I never written a plugin for Photoshop. But I think you should check the documentation in the Photoshop SDK since you're going to write a plugin for Photoshop.

I agree with @jsulm: First, you must learn how to use the Photoshop SDK.

I refer following links :-
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwidgets-tools-echoplugin-example.html

The Echo Plugin example shows you how to create plugins for Qt programs. It does not show you how to create plugins for Photoshop.

I also study following project
http://forum.qt.io/topic/21651/libqpsd-qt-c-plugin-for-photoshop-document-psd-psb
but this could not help me for the same.

libqpsd lets you read and write PSD files. It is not a plugin for Photoshop.

I already checked Photoshop SDK , they have not provided any documentation related to "Make Plugins using Qt framework".

I want to create Photoshop plugin using Qt.

They give only theory related to this.

If you want to use Qt to make a plugin for Photoshop, you must follow these steps:

Learn how to use the Photoshop SDK.
Learn how to use Qt.
Write your plugin using Qt functions and Photoshop SDK functions.

We cannot help you with #1.
We can help you with #2.
We might be able to help you (a bit) with #3.

The most important step is #1: Learn how to use the Photoshop SDK. You need to finish step #1 and step #2 first, before you can do step #3.

Okay , So i need to integrate Photoshop SDK in Qt Creator or directly i can use it's header file?

I don't know how the Photoshop SDK works, but I'm guessing that you can add it to your project in Qt Creator as a 3rd-party library:

Hi
in the SDK, there are sln files for demo projects.
Why not start by making sure those compiles in
VIsual Studio 2013 Community Edition
before trying to make it work in Creator ?

Jagir

Okay Let me try.
