Need to create photoshop plugin with UI in QT framework

query@mindfire Dec 6, 2013 3:06 AM

I need to develop a photoshop plugin using qt to create UI. I have two doubts regarding this
- First, Is it possible to integrate qt UI with photoshop plugin and perform photoshop operations.

- Second, Is it possible to create a panel type UI using QT for Photoshop and keep it non modal.

I have no idea regarding qt. Please guide.

Thanks

1. It most definitely is, but it requires some tweaking, especially on Mac. You can greatly simplify it if you can instantiate QApplication when your plugin is triggerred and you are about to show the GUI and destroy it when your plugin is done it's work. Persistant Qt is also doable but trickier; my advise would be to go there only if you really have to.
2. HTML5 panels is the way to go (flash panels are no more)

Jiust as it's mentioned on that page that HTML5 link above would take you to, you have to download the Extension Builder3 preview here, follow the "Gettring Started" notes, run a simple panel example and off you go. You also may want to read this post and follow this exntesoinbuilder forum.
