Google's plan for acquiring photoshop plugin makers?

I know this is just a little bit off topic, but it seems Google is on the prowl for photoshop plugin makers and they have bought one of the oldest and best ones, Nik Software Inc.
Does anyone know anything about their plan for this? The first thing that comes to mind is that they are going to challenge things like Instagram offering more advanced "filters"..or why can it be..?

Try watching/listening to last week's Grid show:  http://kelbytv.com/thegrid/2012/11/30/the-grid-episode-77-the-future-of-nik-software/
if you can get around the vague "no answer" to the questions many of us have, Will Nik continue to upgrade and or develop new plug-in software?
It was a pretty good dance around if you ask me!
I was really disappointed in the Kelby's staff replies/questions to the Google Rep and Nik Reps and feel they let them off the hook to easily!

  • Bare minimum include files/project settings for a photoshop plugin

    Hi, I've been reading the documentation and gone through some samples in the SDK and I'm starting to feel comfortable with the whole plugin environment (though there is still much for me to learn).
    The question I have is "what are the bare minimum files I need to include, libraries to link, etc in order to compile a photoshop plugin?"  I apologize if this is a repeat question, I did my best to search for an answer.
    The motivation behind my question is that I am ultimately interested in developing plugins for both Windows and Mac with the least amount of hassle.  Ideally, I'd like to be able to run a single script (probably on a linux machine using gcc/mingw) that compiles all of my most recent code so I'm trying to find out how can boil down the SDK to the minimum components to make this as simple as possible so my programs don't have relics/artifacts from the example code in them.  I'm also not certain how to accomplish what I just described but that's probably a question for a different forum.  Any help is much appreciated!

    The (GPL) sample code on my site shows how cross-platform plugins can be built for any Photoshop platform - these days, most commonly Win32, Win64, and OS X Mach-O. There are dozens of projects represented, mostly File Formats and Filters:
    http://telegraphics.com.au/sw/
    Makefiles are provided for OS X gcc, Microsoft Visual Express (running on Linux/WINE) for Win32 and Win64, and mingw32 (as a cross-compiler from Linux or OS X).

  • My plan for Photography Photoshop was changed to a Creative Cloud plan?

    How do I change my $9.99 1 year plan back to the Photography Photoshop plan?

    They are one and the same. Keep in mind, because it says cloud, does not mean the programs run from the cloud. Nothing is further from the truth. All programs run on your computer only. It is called the cloud as you can upload your data files to the server for safe keeping and for sharing if you choose (It is also where you will find updates). Other than that once you download the manager and install the apps, everything stays on your computer.
    Or, am I mis-understanding you. Do you have access to more than Photoshop, Lightroom, Bridge and all the Edge apps?

  • In need of a Software Developer for a Photoshop Plugin / Extension

    I'm in need of a software developer that can create a plug-in or extension panel for Photoshop, according to my instruction. 
    Is there a list of developers available from Adobe? 
    Are you a software developer that can help?  Please let me know.

    Number one - that person has given you false information...the Apple store genius bar supports all Apple products whether in or out of warranty.  Checking is free, service on an out of warranty item is not free.
    Try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.
    Since you show that you have iOS 7.0.3 you might want to update that iOS to 7.0.4...plug the iPhone in so you are on a solid power source, then while on a WiFi go to Settings > General > Software Update and update to 7.0.4.

  • Any plans for main-stream plugins?

    I was curious if any additional plug-ins are avalible or plan to become avalible, for example, Macromedia flash player or shockwave??
    Or maybe they have been and I have not found the info yet..
    Cheers,
    Efexx

    Efexx.... they're not available. If they were, they'd be headline news
    There's no definitive word from apple whether or not they will ever be supported. Probably, most likely for security reasons. If i had to guess, they will be, in special versions. I'm sure Adobe will write a special flash pluging that apple will use to embed in a future safari update.
    As to when they might update this... who knows.... could be soon..or could be a while. Apple doesn't usually talk about future versions of anything.

  • GWT 2+ is not working on Firefox 5, the plugin or pages compiled in GWT. Is there is a fix planned for this?

    An application built entirely with GWT 2.1.1 will not render in Firefox 5. The same application renders in Firefox version 2,3 and 4. The GWT plugin will not function either.

    Try using [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ compatability reporter] <br> that works to solve problems with Google Addons relating to its toolbar, presumably it may help with your add-ons.
    For problems with plugins (donate?) download, instal & run the extension from :
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-switcher
    (donate ?) download, install & run.
    No doubt Googl,s own forums will have information regarding compatibility with Firefox 5.
    You mention Firefox 2, 3 & 4. Try 3.6 that is still supported. It is also available as a portable version from: http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/localization#legacy36

  • Although I have been using Google Maps App in India for a while now (without any issues) but I still want to know if there are any plans for launching Turn by Turn Navigation under the OOTB Map App for iOS?

    Although I have been using Google Maps App in India for a while now (without any issues) but I still want to know if there are any plans for launching Turn by Turn Navigation under the OOTB Map App for iOS?
    It has been quite a while since Apple came up with Map App of their own and should be releasing improved maps with more capabilities in India.

    No one here can answer your question, as there is no one from Apple here, & no one here represents Apple or speaks for Apple.

  • @loader_path problem for photoshop plugin on Mac

    Hi experts,
    One of my photoshop plugin (a file format plugin) depends on Qt, so I add the libQtCore.4.dylib and libQtGui.4.dylib in the same folder of my binary in my bundle ( that is '/Contents/MacOS' ), and reference them as @loader_path in my plugin.
    My plugin is a universal binary. it works all fine with the 64bit photosho , but the problem is in 32bit of photosho, when I click the 'About' to display my about dialog and then click open to open my file, photoshop said 'Out of RAM'. This problem doesn't happen if I click open first and then about.
    I tried to put the Qt libraries in the /usr/local/bin, and referece them in my plugin with full path, (that is /usr/local/bin/libQt**), all things are all right, So I'm wordering if there is some problem with the plugin loading with the '@loader_path‘ reference.
    Any help will appreciate.
    Thanks,
    D.J.

  • I have photoshop 5.5 and can't open .nef files.  I am looking for the old plugin can anyone help?

    I am looking for the photoshop 5.5 plugin to allow me to open my .nef camera files... can anyone help?

    Other than upgrading PS, you might want to look into Nikon Capture. I have an older version, so do not know if it's still offered, and if it will handle your version of NEF's, as they change, hence the ARC upgrades for newer Nikon (and others) cameras.
    Good luck,

  • Photoshop plugin for Scanner

    Hi!
    I am using brother 4 in 1 which has function of scanner, printer, photocopy and fax.
    The problem I am having is on Photoshop is it doesn't allows me to scan the document that I need to print, email or keep in the hard disk.
    Is there any plugin available for scanner?
    Thnx

    You posted to the forum for the Software Developers Kit -- for people writing plugins.
    You probably want the Photoshop General forum.
    And your scanner driver would come with the scanner, or from the scanner manufacturer.

    Flash-based extensions will be deprecated for CC extension with the release of ExtensionBuilder 3.0.
    But flash-based extensions will keep working for CS5 and CS6 applications.
    But you are right, this is not the solution to choose if you want to make an hybrid extension for CC.

    This is a user to user Forum, so you are not really addressing Adobe here, even though some Adobe employees thankfully have been dropping by.
    Over at
    http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/
    there is at least one long-running thread on the issue.
    But if you should be unwilling to accept arguments that do not support your point of view it may not be worth the trouble to locate it.
