Staff stokerg Posted May 11, 2018 Staff Share Posted May 11, 2018 Hi MrPArtTeacher, 1st you'd need to learn C++, you'd also need a good understanding of API's and how they function. As we don't have a documented Plugin API just yet this would be tricky to do from scratch but would be still be possible, as shown by the companies who have tweaked their plugin code to work with Affinity. I know one day, the Dev team would like to open up the Plug API but that won't be happening for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Well you have to pick up the Adobe Photoshop plugin API and take a tour de force with that, meaning studying, trying out and learning how to make use parts of that API for intercommunication. So having some knowledge about the general structure and workings of Photoshop Plugins is very essiential here. - However there aren't that much docus and tutorials etc. about that around, so you will also need a good portion of passion to find related informations.
