Adobe® Photoshop® SDK for Adobe Photoshop CC

Imagine a creative environment in which the fun of touch, the potential of mobility, and the power of Adobe Photoshop software meet. With the Adobe Photoshop SDK developers can:

  • Interact with Photoshop CC from applications on Android™, Blackberry, and iOS mobile and tablet devices, as well as Mac OS and Windows® operating systems
  • Develop plug-ins that extend the functionality of Photoshop CC
  • Create HTML panels to extend the user experience within Photoshop CC

We believe that connecting devices and applications to Photoshop offers our developer partners new business opportunities by enabling the ability for them to deliver greater value to their customers. Developers may now offer new features that harness the power of Photoshop in ways never before possible.

With the Photoshop SDK, you can enable your apps to drive and/or communicate with Photoshop CC via a TCP connection. It’s now possible to create an eBook of Photoshop tutorials that allows users to drive actions in Photoshop CC from within the eBook. Or, to use a tablet device to mix colors and create a color palette, then send those colors directly back to Photoshop CC straight from a tablet. There are many possibilities, and with the Photoshop SDK Adobe is opening Photoshop up to the community so that you may bring these, and other scenarios we haven’t even imagined, to life.

Photoshop plug-in developers will need to use the SDK to update their plug-ins to 64-bit versions as Photoshop CC is a native 64-bit application on both Macintosh and Windows. The SDK provides additional information to help developers in converting their plug-ins to 64-bit. See the "Making 64-bit plug-ins" page in the documentation included within the SDK to get started.

Adobe Photoshop CC allows for HTML files to run as a panel inside the application. See this tutorial for instructions on how to develop custom panels to run within Adobe Photoshop CC. There are many possibilities, including: panels specific to the workflow of a particular work environment, video-based training from within the application, custom browsers, or even community-based data and idea sharing.

This SDK delivers a completely new way for people to enhance, transform and enjoy the billions of images captured on devices of all types. We can’t wait to see what you create.

The latest releases of Adobe® Photoshop® CC are 64-bit only on the Macintosh operating system. Photoshop CC is 32 and 64 bit on the Windows operating system. Photoshop plug-in developers will need to use the SDK to update plug-ins to run with the 64-bit version of Photoshop.

Developers will need to meet the requirements before proceeding with converting a plug-in conversion:
