Photoshop Touch SDK and development platform

The photoshop touch SDK announcement is very exciting, however I own a CS5 windows license and of course I do my ipad/ipod development on Mac: given that unfortunately photoshop licenses are not cross-platform I was wondering if there is/will be a way planned for SDK developers to run photoshop on both platforms for testing etc. (maybe via a limited/timed/no-saving/... version of Photoshop on the platform we are not licensed for?)

Can we now assume that the touch SDK has been abandonned by Adobe? It's now a year after "should be updated soon", and currently if you try to download the touch SDK from this page you get the Photoshop 3 SDK instead!!!
I ask as I'm about to remove Touch support from my app; the very few people that use touch are now having problems e.g., timeouts, with the latest version of Photoshop.

Photoshop Touch SDK for iOS Bugs and annoyances

I've just finished implementing the "Touch" capability in my iOS app. As I can't find anywhere to post bug reports, and this may help others, here's my experience:
BUGS:
1. sendImage in psconnection is multiply broken:
(a) Network communication depends on the PSRawImage C structure. However, that does not take padding into account. This may work for build settings that don't allow structure padding, it certainly doesn't work for my settings.
(b) Pixmap support is broken. The CGBitmapContext setting (RGB 888) it attempts to use is unsupported and will throw an exception on iOS
(c) JPEG support is broken - the (required) format byte simply isn't added to the network packet.
2. The documentation is wrong/incomplete
(a) It doesn't mention the format byte - you have to find that in the demo programs that don't use psconnection.
(b) It suggests that messages to the server are acknowledged. If they are, I'd like to know where/how.
3. The test version of Photoshop crashes with some (not all) JPEG images:

A Google search on the crash signature above shows it has previously occurred as a result of corrupt fonts. However (a) I'd done all the font checking etc as recommended, and (b) this only occurs for JPEGs, not pixmaps.
Annoyances:
1. psconnection is a huge memory hog; it creates multiple copies of images and network packets. Be prepared to rewrite if you're dealing with large images.
2. psconnection is not thread safe. Be prepared to put in locks and inter-thread communication code.
3. psconnection is iPad only. Be prepared to rewrite to be able to use it on an iPhone
4. The serial number for the test version of Photoshop as provided on the Adobe site only works for a few hours, then decides that the serial number is invalid.
Hints:
The demo programs e.g., transmitimage, do seem to work, as opposed to psconnection. However, they use their own code that doesn't do much in the way of error checking, etc.

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!

Adobe Photoshop CC SDK and PlugPlug API

I've downloaded the latest Adobe Photoshop CC SDK hoping I'll learn something about the PlugPlug API plug-in technique (c++ along with its Flash interface) but what a surprise! - the same old documentation included in the latest CC SDK package
So I wonder whether someone could share a document (if there is one) which describes this technique or a simple 'do nothing' source code which uses the PlugPlug.dll.
I would appreciate any info you can provide.
Thanks,

RONC,
The PlugPlug library exposes some functions to C++ plug-ins, such as:
- PlugPlugLoadExtension()
- PlugPlugUnloadExtension()
- PlugPlugDispatchEvent()
- PlugPlugAddEventListener()
- PlugPlugRemoveEventListener()
Did you find any info (reading ReadMe.html) on how it should be implemented in your code? Does it work the same way as in Adobe Illustrator?
Thanks,

Where do I find a qualified PhotoShop Plug-in filter developer for a freelance project?

I need to hire a programmer (freelance) to develop a PhotoShop plug-in filter. I'm in the SF Bay area, but unfamiliar with the industry. I know I need someone skilled in C++, algorithms, PhotoShop SDK and Mac platform. I just don't know where I should be looking to find a qualified person or company.
A web search for PhotoShop programmer doesn't bring up what I need. A Craigslist search under Computers didn't come up with anyone with PhotoShop Plug-in experience. Sites like Freelance.com, GetACoder.com, etc., provide few responses and all are "off-shore".
Where should I search for a programmer (Preferably Bay Area) for my project?

Maybe I can assist you,
Leave email address or something.

Can we use flex extension designed for Photoshop CS5 for Photoshop Touch as well?

Hi..!!
I was learning about the Photoshop Touch application and when I started to search about its SDK, I found that it uses the same SDK as Photoshop CS5. Is my information correct? Also, if this is the case, then if I want to design a flex extension for Photoshop Touch, then will the extension for Photoshop CS5 suffice? Or, will I have to design a separate one from CS5? Please guide me..
Thanks!

The Photoshop CS5 SDK includes functionality for creating interactions with Photoshop CS 5 from applications on Android™, Blackberry, and iOS mobile and tablet devices, as well as Mac OS and Windows® operating systems (an example would be the Adobe Nav app) basically the communication between an app and Photoshop. Flex extensions created for Photoshop would not automatically work with Photoshop Touch.
Hope that helps

Why is Creative Cloud sync causing photoshop touch on iPad to force close?

Sometime on March 28, 2014, having the sync function on or attempting to sync files from your Photoshop touch app to the creative cloud causes force closing. Within 4 to 5 seconds of being in the organizer view the app simply shuts down. As long as you are off-line or you have the sync capability turned off the app works fine.
Obviously this is a major problem because your creative cloud membership doesn't really do anything for you. Rebooting the iPad does not fix the sync/crashing issue. Downloading the Photoshop touch app on a different iPad results in the same problem.
Is anyone at Adobe who is responsible for the functioning of the Photoshop touch app and the creative cloud aware of this issue? Before this began on the 28th of March, I had never encountered a problem like this. A solution to this problem would be greatly appreciated. Nothing that I have tried from my end changes the current problem. Please, please, help!

I FIXED IT!!!
So it seems that at least my issue may have been a RAM memory problem. And no amount of restarting was fixing it...
Now, this may sound shady, yet it did it for me so I thought I'd share. There are a couple of free apps that "reallocates" the RAM in your iPad or iPhone. I tried one that didn't seem to fix the issue. Then I tried another and TA-DA! Not only PS Touch didn't crash, but it synced and remained stable. Beautifully!
Below is the link for the free app I used. You can use this or do a search for a similar RAM allocator. Once the app is downloaded, get it to reallocate your device's RAM a couple of times, it's pretty self-explanatory. Then restart PS touch.

Good luck!

Are you serious that photoshop does not support touch zoom and rotate??!!

I just spent thousands of dollars on a new cintiq 22hd touch and now people are telling me that touch zoom and rotate are not supported in photoshop when running it with a windows platform (only works with MACS)???!!! are you serious???!!! I just tested this out and its TRUE!!! You can pan with touch but not zoom or rotate. The zoom and rotate functions work in all my other programs BUT NOT PHOTOSHOP. I even have the latest version of photoshop (CC), latest patch and all and nope! no multitouch support!
I dont know who im more pissed with WACOM or ADOBE. Wacom's touch advertising was supposed to be their selling point! if you cant even use it with the most popular graphics program...err what's the point??? And Adobe should have provided support like what...AGES AGO...the touch tablets and cintiqs have been out for almost a year now!
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT WE LIVE IN 2013 and the best graphic hardware IS NOT COMPATIBLE with THE BEST GRAPHIC SOFTWARE on an OS (windows) that like over 50% of the population use??!!
UNBELIEVABLE!

I do not have a cintiq however I down loaded the user manuals for the DTH-2242 and DTK-2241 and the Cintiq 22HD> the first two Interactive pen displays seem to support multi Touch where the Cintiq 22HD only seem to support touch strips.
The ones with multitouch support show this in the user manuals. On windows standard gestures are always on and there is no TAB. I would not like that.

Can i open and edit animated GIF in Adobe Photoshop Touch?

Can i open and edit animated GIF in Adobe Photoshop Touch?

No, only regular static GIF images are supported. The desktop version of Photoshop does support this however.

Adobe Photoshop touch to Mac and back without adobe cloud costs & privacy issues.

How do I transfer files between Adobe Photoshop touch and my adobe creative suite applications on my mackintosh computer? I do not want to pay for additional adobe cloud services. In addition I have concerns over the privacy of adobe's cloud for certain images. As a retired plastic surgeon, I have used Photoshop for years to help with public and patient education. Final posted images can have privacy concerns addressed. I do understand that I can transfer a single layer from Photoshop touch back to the computer by mail or camera roll. procreate has a Photoshop export tool.
Where is Photoshop touches export tool? if the only tool is through the additional monthly charges of the cloud, you are alienating loyal Adobe customers.
Michael Bermant, M.D.

Thank you for your help. I have finally figured out and shared my first image. The fear was that I was going to be charged a monthy fee just by using the service. It would be nice if there was a footnote with something to that effect. All I was seeing was the monthy and yearly fees.
Finally found this, boy it was burried.
What happens to my files in the cloud if I cancel my membership?
If you cancel your paid membership you will still have access to the free level of membership, which provides 2GB of storage. You will have a 90-day grace period to delete files to get your cloud storage down to 2GB (or to purchase additional storage separately if you choose). If you leave more than 2GB of files in your cloud storage for more than 90 days, you may lose access to some or all of your files.
Can I access Adobe Creative Cloud without being a paying member?
Yes, there is a free level of membership for anyone who wants to explore Creative Cloud before committing to a paid membership. To sign up for a free membership, go to www.creativecloud.com and follow the instructions to get started.
What do I get with the free level of a Creative Cloud membership?
The free membership will provide you with access to powerful file syncing and sharing features, 2GB of storage space, free levels of Adobe services, and access to 30-day free trials of all CS6 applications and other Adobe desktop applications, such as Adobe Edge preview and Adobe Muse.
I will now try to figure out the privacy issues next. In the non public folder, who other than myself has access to sensitive photos? Trying to read the leagal documents is quite confusing.

What Is the best way to upload and download psd files from Photoshop to Photoshop Touch? [was:Re]

What Is the best way to up load and down load psd files from desktop photo shop to photo shop touch? For on the go touch up or. I'm using psd files at 90 percent 300 depi when in photo shop on desktop. To ps touch

Hi Bford225,
I'd recommend using your favorite web browser and going to https://creative.adobe.com/files for uploading from the computer.
Keep in mind tablet capabilities are much less than a computer, so large files might take a long time to download and be very system intensive to work on. Although you can import files up to 12 megapixels I'd recommend something more mid range, like 6 or 7 megapixels, ie 2880 x 2160 or 3072 x 2304.
Also, PSD files are flattened when imported into Photoshop Touch.
Hope that helps,
-Dave

How to install cc Photoshop Touch on ipad and iphone?

I'm a Creative Cloud subscriber. How do I download and install Creative Cloud Photoshop Touch on iPad and iPhone?

Thanks, Romit, but that doesn't help. I see no group heading on the
supplied link that answers my download/installation question.
Do I load PS Touch to my iMac computer, then transfer onto the mobile
devices? Or do I download directly from CC to each device. When I try to
download from CC directly to my iPad, (or iPhone), I get caught in an
endless loop, even after I've logged in, asking me if I want to become a CC
subscriber.
This is not fun. Or efficient.

Photo's not syncing between Elements 12 and Photoshop Touch ------ revel or creative cloud - very confusing

I have photoshop elements 12 (updated to 12.1) And i use Photoshop Touch (version 1.6.1) for my Galaxy tab, (which is stock - un-rooted)
I know when i first installed it, any photos i dragged into mobile albums showed up in my Photoshop Touch app.
Now something seems to have changed. The app only has import images via local/creative cloud/camera/google/facebook.
I know Elements 12 is uploading them to Revel, because i can see them online in my Revel Account.
I've installed the Revel app to my tab, and the photos are there.
So if the photos are in the cloud and my Revel app see's them, why are they not showing up in my Photoshop app.
And why is there a creative cloud import option, but no revel import option.
Can someone explain the difference between CreativeCloud and Revel....
All i want to do is edit a few images every now and then on my Tab. but PLEASE how do i get it working again?

If I remember correctly, Revel is a different service than Creative Cloud, hence the confusion. And if I also remember, Revel was around before Creative Cloud and PS Touch. Revel seemed more or less to be aimed at consumers whereas Creative Cloud is more or less aimed at professionals.
Creative Cloud is free (up to 2 GB; most of the Creative Cloud subs provide an additional 18 GB for a total of 20 GB).

Difference on developing client applications on PC and Mac platform.

Hi,
I would like to know wats the difference on developing client applications on PC and Mac platform.
If i were to create software applications using Javascript, MS SQL Server 2000 and JAVA on Mac platform, would there be any difference from those we created on PC(Windows)?

Write once, debug ewerywhere. There should not be any
difference running pure Java code on difference
platforms.Umm.. "should" is the operative word..
Threads come to mind...as even when they are written as "Pure Java".. the native thread implementation can work harry cary (as opposed to Harry Potter) on your app...
