Writing Import and FIle Format Plug-Ins...

Hi All,



I have written two plug-ins (Import and File Format) which work fine using CS2. Unfortunately we need to be able to have them work in CS1 too. I downed the ''Adobe Photoshop CS SDK'' but when when I looked at the API document (''Photoshop API Guide.pdf''), chapters 6 and 9 are missing and there is no sample code for these plug-in types.



Could anyone explain why this is?



How do I write these types of plug-in's for CS1?



Thanks for your Help

All the Best

Dave

They come with the Advanced SDK. You can apply for it on the Adobe website.

I have published
GPL source code to many plugins all of which are compatible with Photoshop 3.0 through CS2, on Windows and Mac. Unless you are using CS2 specific features, the your Import and Format DLLs should already work with CS on Windows.



On the Mac, the executable format changed between CS and CS2, and you would need to build a PEF plugin for CS. MPW and CodeWarrior can do that; Xcode cannot.

please, is there an Advanced SDK??? why havent i seen it on Photoshop SDK homepage??

If you fail to find satisfaction from Adobe by requesting the ''advanced SDK'', just look for a Photoshop 6 SDK (on the CD-ROM). That can build all plugin types for any version of Photoshop through CS2.
