yogiyang Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Is there any way by which we can support Photoshop compatible filters in Paint.NET? This would open up doors for untold creativity as is the case with Photoshop and allow developers to use all those fantastic filters like AlienSkin, KTP, Andromedia, Otto tools, etc. etc. Well this are just my ideas... If someone know how Photoshop compatible filters can be hosted, it should be implemented in Paint.NET ASAP. Thanks, Yogi Yang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Beckeman Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I've looked into it a bit, and unfortunately it's not a simple task. However, such an adapter would be beneficial to many .NET projects, including Microsoft's new Expression suite, so maybe MS could be talked into funding such an undertaking... Many of those Photoshop plugins aren't that complicated to mimic these days though - there's lots of open source code for hundreds of advanced image manipulation tasks. ImageJ plugins can be a gold mine, and since they're Java it's easy to translate to C#. I think it would be interesting to start a community which builds a library of good .NET image manipulation routines, with a common interface that make them usable in any .NET host. I'm working on something like that, but before I present it I want to implement GPU accelerated versions of a few of the filters so the project seems a little sexier...

Rick Brewster Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Jonas is correct. I downloaded the SDK for Photoshop at one point to investigate this, and implementing a Photoshop Plugin host is no trivial task.

jogibear9988 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 If someone would still work on this, maybe this is interesting: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/811518/Hosting-bf-plugins-in-a-NET-Application Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 After eight years?? I think not. We have this now PSFilterPDN, which is why we don't like old threads being revived.
