Photoshop SDK beginner

I am a college student at the local university. I am interested in graphic design and computer science. Programming my own filter has sparked my interest. I am determined to learn at least the basics. I know java and am learning C++. I have recently downloaded the photoshop sdk and I am teaching myself about computer graphics. I am looking through some of the sample code for the filters and getting very confused. I cant find any how-to's to lead me in the right direction (other that the one on photoshoproadmap.com.) I would appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction. What knowledge base do I need to have to start writing my own plugins? Thanks

Read the PDF's.
Read the Dissolve sample code.

Can't I download SDK free for personal use.
    Thanks & Regards

    Have you tried applying for permission? All I had to do was ask.

  • Using Photoshop SDK to merge images in Web Application

    Hi,
    More of a query than an issue. We have an ASP.NET Web application - and our client has asked that we provide the facility to merge two images on the site. Basically, a user uploads their photo to the site - and then can choose to insert it into an e.g. postcard of the Eiffel tower.
    So, we use image layers - where we use Photoshop to create the Eiffel Tower postcard - and then the website user's image is layered behind that in a particular location.
    So, the question - can we use the Photoshop SDK to integrate with ASP.NET to take the website user's image and insert it into the appropriate position on the Eiffer Tower postcard image (using layers).
    Any other suggestion?

    The idea of using Photoshop to power a web application is scary. I
    think Adobe have more suitable tools for this environment (without
    user interface) though I can't bring any names to mind.

  • Photoshop SDK training/course

    Our research develops texture synthesis algorithms, and we would like to put them into plugins. However, the official documentation doesn't answer many questions we have.
    Is there any Photoshop SDK training, course, tutorial, master class, or up-to-date textbook?
    We currently use CS6 on Macs, but any information would be useful.
    Thank you,
    Martin

    Great idea.
    I wish they will do something like that.

  • Photoshop SDK in Lightroom?

    Are there any plans to support remote connections and scripting in Lightroom in the same way that it's supported through the Photoshop SDK?
    Thanks.

    You've stumbled upon another version of Catch 22: only those who don't know are allowed to say.

  • Photoshop SDK: Specification for "Color Settings File" (CSF)?

    Before I request the Photoshop SDK: Does it contain a specification for the "Color Settings File" (CSF) file format?

    No. This information is not in the specification.

  • Photoshop SDK - Plug In - Release Mode

    Hello,
    I'm building a Plug In for Photoshop using the CS6 SDK for Windows (64 Bit on Windows 7, VS 2010).
    I'm using optimizations which only work in "Release Mode".
    In your samples I have only "Debug" mode.
    How can I move into release mode?
    Thanks.
    P.S.
    I saw the Dissolve sample code has "Release Mode" which really enabled the optimizations and yieleded a much faster code.
    The question is, how different it is from other samples, namely, How could I reconfigure other samples into "Release Mode".
    Thanks.

    In the Visual Studio Configration Manage you have to create an configuration, call it "Release" and make sure that the settings of the Debug configuration are copied to the new configuration. Then you have to change the several properties of the new Release configuration so that it outputs a release instead of a debug version, e.g. changing the run time library from "Multithreaded-Debug" to "Multithreaded" and deactivating the debug information generation. You also need to remove the DEBUG preprocessor definition in various places.
    All in all, it is a complex process, so it is better if you have a project that contains both debug and relase configurations and you compare the properties of both. Then you can see which things are activated in one configuration and not in the other.

  • ShObjIdl.h compile error when including Photoshop SDK header?

    I develop photoshop plugins on both Mac 10.6 and Windows 7, now my code has been built and run successfully on Mac, but on Windows there are curious compile errors in a file "ShObjIdl.h", this is a Windows SDK header file. ( my VC++ version is 2010 ). It seems including some adobe SDK header file will cause the error. Is there someone who had met this? I guess some macro define conflicts.

    did your program work ok under 10.3.6? Is it just Tiger that gives the problem?
    I have not used xmlrpc but I have used Pro*C on OS X with no probelms.
    Where did the xmlrpc.h you are using come from? I could not find it on OS X on either Tiger or Panther. However I do find an xmlrpc.cp and a make file so I assume you would include a shared library from it in the make file for your program to be able to make the xmlrpc calls you need to.
    In general, the include files are in sub directories of /System/Library/Frameworks and it would be worth a grep -r for the declarations you want to include and put the path in the include parameter to proc.
    I hope this info helps.

  • Problem with Photoshop SDK example plugins

    Hi,
    I would like to write a filter plugin. So I have downloaded the Photoshop CS2 SDK and I have compiled all the example filter plugins from it. Now when I use an additional directory for loading the plugins to the Photoshop CS2. Only 3 of 7 show up. I am using Windows Vista.
    Does somebody know what I am doing wrong?
    Thanks
    Lucie

    Apart from the obvious, no.
    Vista brings a bunch of new headaches for people using plugins, including "entry point not found" and memory bugs which XP/OS X users don't encounter.
    An upgrade to a different operating system is recommended.

  • Photoshop CS4 Beginner Tutorials

    Hi,
    I am very frustrated because I cannot seem to find a very "beginner" type Photoshop tutorial. I am still not understanding how to work in layers (don't laugh, c'mon!). I have a photo that I need to remove the background from and I cannot figure out how to do it--create the mask, etc. It appears to be only one layer, locked, and so I cannot separate anything.
    Can anyone recommend a free, online beginner tutorial where I can learn how to do that?  Thanks much!

    To elaborate on ir8idiot’s post:
    • Make a layer of the image (if it is the Background Layer double-click it)
    • Add a Layer Mask (third icon from the left at the Layers Panel bottom)
    • Use any paint or selection tool (brushes, magic wand, lasso, …) to signify the unwanted regions in the Mask by painting or filling selections with black (or white to make visible again) – note that the Mask and not the Layer is active, so the double contour should be on the Mask’s symbol
    • Shift Clicking will disable the Mask, alt-clicking will make the Mask alone visible

  • Resizing tiff files without resample option in Photoshop SDK

    Hi,
    We am facing the below issue with Adobe Photoshop CS2.
    We are trying to automate resizing of TIFF files in Photoshop using SDK. We were able to achieve this perfectly by defining in terms of percentage but when we try to do the same using without resample option programmatically, we are facing difficulties because with this option SDK allows us to pass the values in terms of Resolution only. We also tried to put a formula to compute the resolution to resize the image to a desired width but the formula does not yield a perfect result at all times.
    Can anyone please let us know if there is any formula to resize an image to a desired size by passing the value in terms of Resolution or probably guide us where we can find help to resolve this issue.
    Thanks & regards,
    Rajeev

    With the image open in Photoshop, it's dpi would affect:
    1) Text size if you have Type set at Pixels or Points in preferences, (which is why it is not a bad idea to set it to Pixels so you'll have some idea of how big text will apear in your images).
    2) Grid density (Ctrl/Command ').   When I want to change the grid density, I generally open the Image size dialogue box; turn of resample, and change the DPI.  But I find I don't need to do that so often since setting both Print and Screen dpi to 300dpi in the New Document preferences.
    3) How big it will print.  I once took in three full res images to be be made into canvas prints and gave the sho a size.   When I collected them only one was at the size I'd asked for, and the other two were much smaller because he'd gone by the DPI and print size.  I was not happy!
    Other than the above three things, (and any other that I can't think of)  pixels are pixels and dpi only affects how thickly or thinly they are spread throughout your image.

  • Anfänger benötigt Hilfe bei Photoshop SDK

    Hallo,
    ich habe mir die SDK für den Photoshop 6 gekauft, da ich ein Import Filter programmieren wollte.
    Im SDK ist ein Beispiel "GradientImport"
    leider bin ich ein Anfänger und hab Probleme im Nachvollziehen diese doch komplexen Beispiel.
    Weiß jemand wo ich ein einfacheres Beispiel bekommen kann, am Besten gut Dokumentiert.
    Ich Programmiere unter Visual C++6 und weiß irgendwie nicht wie ich am besten anfangen soll.
    danke

    Hallo Herr Stahl,
    einfach im Organizer die Dateien auswählen und im Menü Datei --> Exportieren --> Als neue Dateien nutzen. Für die Reihenfolge dann "Gemeinsamer Stammname" nehmen.
    Wie geben sie denn die Bilder aus, damit sie schlechter als bei Picasa werden ?
