How to build my own HDR photoshop plugin?

Question

Hi, I am a true fresh here and trying to build a HDR photoshop plugin, with an existing HDR merging algorithm in a static C lib. What I need to do is just to provide a file dialog to read in several images, then to process pixels of these images with the C lib, and last return a result image. In this case, which type of plugin should I focus? Automation, filter, or any others ? Besides that, what should be the key to read files and get their pixels? Would anyone be so kind to offer a hint? Thank you very much!

Hi Bowie,
Here is one possible approach...
1) Set "Do Not Use SOAP Envelope" in your Receiver SOAP Adapter.
2) Add this xsl as a second step in your interface mapping.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:template match="/">
    <env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
      <env:Body>
        <xsl:copy>
          <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
        </xsl:copy>
      </env:Body>
    </env:Envelope>
  </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template match="@*|node()">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
You can then modify the soap envelope nodes above to create what you need.
