I am a game developer looking for a tutorial reference on creating custom Photoshop export plug-ins.

Specifically I am looking for a tutorial reference that explains iteration through the Photoshop image and how to grab image layer data (i.e. Layer name, position, color channels, etc).

The SDK includes a few examples which lack any practical documentation. Any information is appreciated.

You might be waiting a while for an answer about programming plug-ins and the learning curve will be steep.

If all you want is to get info as above, you can use the Photoshop (7 or CS) scripting with VB (any flavour) to get this info and write it to a spreadsheet (ref your other post).

Ryan – you could do that with just a JavaScript. See the examples that come with Photoshop CS.

Hey Chris – Can you tell me exactly where these JavaScript examples are located? I assumed that they were embedded in the Photoshop directory, but I was unsuccessful locating them.

In the presets folder, where the documentation says they are.
