Yes, plugins are easy and a lot of fun. Some people have written hundreds of them. You need the Software Development Kit from Adobe, and a C programming environment – Visual C++ for Windows, or Metrowerks for Mac.

The best resource I’ve found describing this is Toby Thain’s web page: http://www.telegraphics.com.au/sw/

Hey Mike, thanks for the plug and the compliment.

Another place for info is Harald Heim’s http://thepluginsite.com/ which covers "filter construction tools" like my Filter Foundry and FilterMeister (Windows only):

Yes, there is. It’s called the Adobe Software Development Kit (SDK).

All you need is the SDK, a C++ compiler, and a knowledge of digital signal processing. You write your plugin in the programming language called C++, using Adobe’s headers and interface provided in the SDK, compile your program as a plugin, and you’re done.

Or C. For those who decline to run the gauntlet of the new ‘developer approval’ process, the Photoshop SDK can be found on Photoshop CDs of version 6 or earlier. Even the older SDKs can create plugins that can run with all versions of Photoshop through CS2.

compile your program as a plugin, and you’re done.

Is there any chance you could say that in a language that most of us might be able to understand?
