Photoshop CS3 SDK

Well I've been trying to write a File Format plugin but all I could find in the samples was a Export plugin which will work for what I need.
But I still have a problem, I have Photoshop CS3 and the sample code was in the CS2 SDK. When I compile it has a bug with a Win32 statement because my computer is running 64-bit Vista but I just delete the "If" command that used the statement and it compiled fine.
When I try to use the plugin Photoshop cashes, is it because the SDK was for CS2? and if so is there anyway to get it to use the beta of the CS3 SDK?

Normally the SDK is available if you join up with the Adobe Developer
Connection http://www.adobe.com/devnet/. This costs about 180 dollars a
year, and the fee is waived in some cases.
The information for writing format plugins is not part of the normal SDK.
ADC members may obtain it via a begging procedure with Adobe that takes up
to several months.
I also recommend that you your questions to the adobe.photoshop.sdk group.
Add more detail about the specific statements that are getting an error,
and where the crash occurs.

Photoshop CS4 SDK & Mac OS X 10.5 SDK

I have existing Photoshop UB Plug-ins built under OS X 10.4 and the OS X 10.4 SDK, Xcode 2.1.x & Photoshop CS3 SDK. I am attempting to use the new CS4 SDK under OS X 10.5 SDK.
They do not build as there is a conflict in PITypes.h with the attempted redefinition of uint32, already defined in the Apple header cssmconfig.h.
I have seen some threads on this issue but no answers - Does anyone have the solution to this issue?
Thank you!

Comment out the redefinition in the SDK, or try 10.4u Framework as suggested by other posters.

Finally. The CS3 SDK is now available on http://www.adobe.com/devnet/photoshop You might have to make a new request for the CS3 SDK. Remember you DO NOT need to purchase anything. Just be a registered user and make the request. Sorry for the hoops but....

Nikon D300 Raw files for 64bit windows vista machine not appearing in Photoshop CS3 raw

I purchased a new 64bit computer running Vista. I have installed Photoshop CS3 including the latest updates and the 4.6 (Camera Raw.8bi) raw update file. I included the raw file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats. I have purged cache in Bridge and I still cannot view the raw files in Bridge. I only see a gray square with a Blue NEF. I can open the files in Photoshop however. What can I do to see the files in Bridge?

Nikon encrypts RAW file data
ByMichael R. Tomkins, The Imaging Resource
(Wednesday, April 20, 2005 - 02:16 EDT)
A news item posted on Sunday by PhotoshopNews.com reports on comments from Thomas Knoll, one of the original authors of Adobe Photoshop, relating to the RAW file format used in Nikon's D2X and D2Hs digital SLRs.
<IFRAME src="http://208.43.255.194/cgi-bin/advertpro/banners.fpl?region=112&keyword=NULL" height="250" width="300" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" frameborder="0" align="middle" scrolling="no"> <A href="http://208.43.255.194/cgi-bin/advertpro/blink.fpl?region=112&slot=1" target="_blank"> <IMG src="http://208.43.255.194/cgi-bin/advertpro/bimg.fpl?region=112&slot=1&keyword=NULL" border="0" width="300" height="250" alt="Click Here!"> </A> </IFRAME>
Thomas Knoll is currently the chief engineer for Adobe Camera Raw, the company's RAW file conversion software. The PhotoshopNews item references a forum thread started by Mr. Knoll in Adobe's official user forums, where he reveals that .NEF RAW files from the latest Nikon digital SLRs encrypt data relating to the white balance setting the photo was shot with.
RAW file formats vary significantly between digital camera manufacturers (and often, between different models in a manufacturer's lineup), and the manufacturers generally won't publicly disclose the specification for the RAW file format(s) they use. Some will offer plugins or software development kits (SDKs) that enable their RAW files to be opened in third-party applications, but these generally have some limitations attached to their use.
In addition, the companies generally offer RAW file conversion software of their own, either as part of their camera bundles or as an added-cost option. Nikon offer their pro SLRs with PictureProject software that includes limited control over the RAW file conversion process, and then offer the more feature-rich Nikon Capture conversion software for an added cost. In a recent publication on the company's Nikon Pro website, it suggested that it feels Nikon Capture is better-suited to photographers, while Adobe's Photoshop is more suited to graphic artists. Still, different photographers have different workflow preferences, and for this reason third parties such as Adobe often reverse engineer the RAW file formats, allowing them to be opened in their own software - sometimes with even better image quality than the original manufacturer's software.
In a way, it is understandable that companies would want to encrypt RAW file data from their products - it allows them to pick and choose which competitors are able to open RAW files shot with their products, and allows them to generate new revenue streams from the sale of their own RAW file conversion software (or, if they choose, the sale of licenses allowing competitor programs to access their RAW file data). Nikon is not the first company we're aware of to encrypt data in RAW files; Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-F828 RAW files contain encrypted data. In that instance, however, Sony granted permission for Adobe to decrypt the data in their software. At the current time, Mr. Knoll states that while Adobe has signed a non-disclosure agreement that grants them access to use Nikon's SDK, they have not received any response to requests from Adobe that the company be allowed to decrypt the white balance data, which would allow closer integration with their software than is possible with the SDK.
The fact that Nikon has chosen to encrypt a portion of the RAW file data would not be particularly problematic for third parties to overcome, were it not for certain laws enacted around the world in recent years. One such law is the United States' "Digital Millennium Copyright Act", often referred to as the DMCA, which makes it illegal to produce technology that can circumvent measures designed to protect copyright. One could argue that Nikon's encryption of the white balance data is just such a measure - which would make it an offense for a third party without permission to make software that could decrypt the original white balance setting used by the camera when the photo was shot. One could equally argue, however, that the copyright over the RAW file belongs to the photographer who captured the image - and hence the choice over what is done with that copyrighted work is entirely up to the photographer.
Unfortunately, there's no clear-cut answer, and short of a company or programmer finding themselves in court for having cracked the encryption, there isn't likely to be such an answer any time soon. This presents a problem for third parties attempting to make their own RAW file conversion routines for the D2X and D2Hs, as if they don't want to risk opening themselves up to legal action, they aren't able to determine the original white balance setting. Hence, they must either request the white balance setting from the user as the RAW file is converted, or attempt to determine an appropriate white balance setting automatically (which would not necessarily be the same as that determined by the camera itself).
Nikon hasn't communicated their reasons for encrypting the white balance information in their latest NEF formats, but we have to say it doesn't sound like a very good idea. While Nikon Capture does indeed offer excellent capabilities for people to manipulate images saved in NEF formats, many photographers and organizations have already established workflows based on Adobe's RAW plugin for Photoshop and other image-processing tools. The biggest consequence of this move on Nikon's part seems likely to be to push more photographers onto other camera platforms. It's hard to imagine that increased sales of Nikon Capture will make up the revenue lost from camera and lens sales going forward.

Is there a CS3 SDK?

So I just downloaded the CS4 SDK for Mac... however I need a C3 SDK. On the SDK download page I only see CS, CS2 , CS3(Windows), and CS4?
Am I missing something here?
I don't have CS4, yet I really want to sink my teeth into the PhotoShop Panel Developer's Guide which is aimed at CS4.
Apologies if I'm beating a dead horse here, I'm super new to Adobe development.
Cheers,
Cha^3

Actually, not even the CS3 SDK for Windows is available! The link at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/photoshop/sdk/ doesn’t work, and generates:

Can i create ADM Modeless dialog using Photoshop CS5 SDK

Hi,
I am developing a photoshop plugin using CS3 SDK. I am using ADM to create dialogs. Developing ADM Modeless dialog is not possible in CS3 SDK.
Can any one please tell me whether it is possible in CS5 SDK to create Modeless dialog. ( So that user of my plugin will be free to use photoshop even after invocation of DialogBox. )
If Modeless dialogs are not possible in photoshop using ADM,..... Is ther any other way to create modeless dialogs in photoshop ??
Regards,
Prafulla Vedante

ADM Modeless dialog is not supported in Photoshop in any version.
Your only option to make a panel / palette in Photoshop is to use the CS SDK (CS5) or the "Photoshop Panel Developer's Guide" ( CS4 or CS5 ).

Getting error on imac at time of loading photoshop CS3 plugin - "One or more plugins currently not available on you system"

Hi,
I am getting below error message while loading photoshop plugin on intel mac os 10.5.7 in photoshop CS3.
"One or more plugins are currently not available on you system. For details, see Help -> System info"
In System info it is giving error as
"Plug-ins that failed to load:
Dissolve NO VERSION - - from the file “/Applications/Adobe CS3/Adobe Photoshop CS3/Plug-Ins/Filters/Dissolve.plugin/”
I have build this code with Xcode v3.0 & selected settings build configuration as "i386".
Is there any CS3 SDK updated need for intel mac or any build settings need to be done in xcode?
Same plugin is working well on emac, but giving above mentioned error on intel mac.
Please let me know if anyone have any idea about this.
Thanks in advance.

Sounds like a PiPL issue, can you show us your definition?

Photoshop CS4 SDK and 64-bit Windows

Will there be an SDK for 64-bit Windows or do we just use the CS3 SDK and compile plug-ins in x64 mode?
Does CS4 support both 32-bit plug-ins and 64-bit plug-ins when the 64-bit version of Photoshop is installed?

Well, now that Photoshop CS4 has released, we have some answers. Yes, there is an SDK at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/photoshop/sdk/. Yes, both 32-bit and 64-bit environments are supported on Vista-64. This is done by installing 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Photoshop.
Nicely done!

In Photoshop CS3 sPSActionDescriptor- Make(&desc1) causing error

Hello,
In Photoshop CS3
"sPSActionDescriptor->Make(&desc1) " returns null and code execution breaks whereas same source is working for CS5 & CS6.
Please help me to sort this out.
Thanks.

Which version of the SDK are you using? My guess is that you are using CS6 or earlier SDK and the version number of that suite is newer and CS3 does not expose the suite version you are asking for.
Try changing the version of sPSActoinDescriptor to use kPSActionDescriptorSuitePrevVersion. Make sure you check for NULL for all functions before using them. If I remember correctly only the PutInteger64 and GetInteger64 routines are for version 3. You could also add in two versions of the sPSActoinDescriptor and try to acquire the new version and if that fails try to acquire the old version.
If that doesn't work you can try using the CS3 SDK.

PhotoshopNews: Adobe Photoshop CS3 at a glance!

http://photoshopnews.com/2006/12/14/adobe-photoshop-cs3-at-a-glance/
Even more content out there now on the home page of PhotoshopNews.com

I haven't been able to download CS3 yet, but the Martin Evening pdf (thanks for the link!) has what looks like a piece of great news buried in it:
"For example, before you first had to create an empty new document with the exact pixel dimensions before you could place an image (such as a raw file) as a Smart Object. With Photoshop CS3, you can now place a raw capture file as a Smart Object layer in a single step."
If I understand this right, it means that the functionality of the old Dr Brown Place-a-Matic script is now available from Aperture. We can -- or this makes me hope we can -- send a RAW from Aperture to PSCS3 for editing, and then Place the same image, perhaps twice, as a Smart Object, edit away, and when we Save get the whole edited image back in Aperture without going through the Finder.
I used to use this (from Bridge) all the time to double-expose RAW shots: adjust the sky to one exposure and the ground to another, masking to get both into the final image, all without messing with the pixels of the RAW image. I've missed it. Whoopee.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 Image Processor not converting files to sRGB Profile

I have been experiencing a problem with Photoshop CS3 Image Processor no longer converting profiles to sRGB. It converts all of the files from Camera Raw to JPEG, but not sRGB as well. I used to be able to batch convert an entire folder of RAW images to JPEG, sRGB through the Image Processor.
My Photoshop CS3 Working Space is Adobe RGB (1998). I need to convert an entire folder of images selected in Bridge to sRGB working space in order to publish a photo album from one of the on-line publishing companies. I can open each individual Camera Raw file in Photoshop and convert each to JPEG, sRGB, but this takes a tremendous amount of time.
The following procedure has worked for me in the past, but for some reason no longer works:
I select the images in the desired Bridge CS3 folder. Upper tool bar, "Tools" > "Photoshop" > "Image Processor". In Image Processor:
Section 1 - ""Process files from Bridge only (11)" Whether or not I place a checkmark by "Open first image to apply settings", it makes no difference in the outcome.
Section 2: "Save in same location"
Section 3 - "Checkmark by "Save as JPEG, quality 12". Also a checkmark by "Convert Profile to sRGB"
Section 4 - Checkmark by "Include ICC Profile"
I replaced my iMac one month ago and reinstalled Photoshop CS3, but this Image Processor problem had been occurring even with my old computer.
Not sure if you need this information:
I'm currently on Mac OS X Version 10.6.4
Processor: 2.93 Ghz Intel Core i7
Memory: 8 GB 1333 Mhz DDR3
I don't know if it's related, Photoshop CS3 on my old computer was running in Rosetta. I don't know if it's running in Rosetta now, the name does not appear when Photoshop boots up. How do I get it to run in Rosetta again?

Heh heh heh. It's always true that we find the answer just after making public our problems, which in turn we did after trying to find the problems ourselves for hours.
Thanks for following up with the answer.

How to install Camera RAW update for Photoshop CS3?

I know this is an ancient version! But for now it's all I need. Anyway...
My Adobe Updater says "No Internet connection. Please check your Internet settings and/or firewall. Waiting for connection..." That's the first problem. I figured out how to manually update Photoshop and Bridge, but Adobe Updater still shows this message when trying to check for updates. Also, I've tried to update Camera Raw from 4.0 to 4.6 and I can't figure out how to manually install it. I knkow the website says to do the following:
Mac:
Exit Photoshop CS3 and Adobe Bridge.
Open the Finder.
Navigate to the root of the local disk (not the user’s home folder).
Navigate to Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS3/File Formats.
Move the existing plug-in to another location (for example, a new folder on your desktop). Ensureyou keep this version in case you need to revert back.
Copy the Camera Raw plug-in, Camera Raw, from the download into the same folder as in Step 4.
Launch Photoshop CS3 or Adobe Bridge.
I manually entered "Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS3/File Formats" and it says this folder doesn't exist. Can anyone help me update my camera raw?!
Thank you so much!
