The Adobe Add-ons website features hundreds of plug-ins and extensions from Adobe and third-party developers for Adobe products. The site features Photoshop add-ons (both paid and free) that can help you create special image effects, create a more efficient workflow, and utilize many other handy tools.

  1. On the left side of the Adobe Add-ons website, select Photoshop from the list of applications to show just the Photoshop add-ons.

    Note:

    To download and install add-ons from the Creative Cloud Add-ons website, you need the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app.

  2. Click an add-on to get specific product info, previews, ratings and reviews, and additional download and installation information.

    Note:

    Check out the Use Adobe add-ons to find plug-ins and extensions tutorial video for a detailed overview of how to use the Adobe Add-ons website.

You can use the Extension Manager to view, install, and remove your Photoshop add-ons. See the Extension Manager CC Reference to learn more about managing all your Adobe extensions.

Note:

The version of Extension Manager must match your version of Photoshop.

Note:

In Photoshop CC 2015, you can no longer install add-ons directly using Extension Manager. Instead you must use the Creative Cloud desktop app.

Note:

If you haven't already installed Extension Manager CC, click Help > Manage Extensions in Photoshop to download and install Extension Manager automatically. You can also download it manually here.

Check compatibility of older Photoshop plug-ins and extensions

Have a favorite plug-in from a previous version of Photoshop that you'd like to use in Photoshop CC? Check the Adobe Add-ons page (or the third-party plug-in developer's website) to see if an updated version exists.

Photoshop's script engine is a flexible alternative to batch automation. We show how to create a script to compress many PNG files with the TinyPNG plugin for Photoshop.

TinyPNG is a web service that compresses PNG images very efficiently by reducing the number of colours in the image. Since the beginning of 2014 it's also available as an Adobe Photoshop plugin.

The plugin supports scripting, which makes it suitable for Photoshop actions. Actions can be used in combination with batch automation to compress a large number of images. An alternative is to write scripts to automate the compression. In this article we describe how to use Photoshop and the TinyPNG plugin with JavaScript.

Creating and running JavaScript in Photoshop

Photoshop

Scripts for Photoshop can be created and edited with a text editor or with Adobe's development environment, called Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit. A script has a .jsx extension and should start with the line #target photoshop.

You can run this script by saving it to hello.jsx and then double-clicking on the file. You will be prompted to confirm you want to run it in Photoshop. You can also run it by dragging the file directly to Photoshop. This will work in Mac OS X as well as Windows.

The scripts are written in JavaScript and have access to Photoshop's built-in functionality as well as plugins that support scripting. Adobe has an API reference and documentation about Photoshop Scripting on their website.

Figuring out how to script a Photoshop feature

Most Photoshop features can be scripted, but how to write the correct code isn't always straightforward. By installing Adobe's Scripting Listener plugin we can record the exact code that is necessary to perform a certain operation. You can download it from Adobe's Photoshop Scripting documentation page. Copy it to Photoshop's Plug-ins folder, then restart Photoshop.

Now we execute the actions that we want to use in our script. In this case we want to use the TinyPNG plugin for Photoshop. Therefore we open a PNG file and compress it with TinyPNG. The file locations do not matter, because we can easily change them later. With the Scripting Listener plugin installed, the sequence of steps necessary to these actions will be recorded to a file called ScriptingListenerJS.log on the desktop. The result looks like this:

We are only interested in the second half. It describes precisely which steps are needed in order to script the TinyPNG plugin. It will contain many calls to charIDToTypeID with arguments consisting of four characters. These four-character codes are the internal identifiers of the Photoshop operations and the settings that we intend to automate.

After recording we immediately remove the Scripting Listener plugin again, because otherwise it would keep recording everything!

Compressing a file with TinyPNG

Armed with our new knowledge about the TinyPNG plugin for Photoshop, we can now write a script to compress an image to an optimized PNG file.

The function compressFile starts by opening any given image. If the colour mode is indexed we change it to RGB, because the TinyPNG Photoshop plugin does not yet accept files with indexed colours. Similarly we convert 16 bit RGB images to 8 bit RGB.

The TinyPNG plugin is then configured to set the output location. The plugin will compress and overwrite the original PNG file. We don't need the original anymore, so we close the document and discard any changes.

We decide which file to compress by presenting a dialog with File.openDialog. Classesmr. regans educational website. It allows you to select the file that will be compressed.

Compressing all files in a folder and its subfolders

We can enhance the script by asking for a folder and traversing through the entire folder structure, attempting to open and compress each file.

Compressing all files in a folder and its subfolders

We can enhance the script by asking for a folder and traversing through the entire folder structure, attempting to open and compress each file.

This example is available as a gist on Github.

The function compressFolder iterates over all files and subfolders in the given folder. It will attempt to compress every PNG file it encounters, and will recursively call itself for each subfolder. We wrap compressFolder with a try/catch block so that we can report any errors.

The call to Folder.selectDialog presents a dialog to select a folder to start from.

After selecting a folder, you'll notice that Photoshop starts opening and compressing all PNG files that are found in the folder and its subfolders.

Summary

Writing JavaScript for Adobe's scripting engine is an interesting and flexible alternative to Photoshop actions and batch automation. We demonstrated how you can record scripts with the Scripting Listener plugin. We used it to create a script that uses TinyPNG to compress all PNG files in a folder and its subfolders.

Scripting is especially useful when the actions that need to be performed depend on the input. In this example we configure the TinyPNG Photoshop plugin to set the output location in order to overwrite the original. When batch automation doesn't suffice anymore, consider using JavaScript!

Update on May 6, 2015

Updated code example to be compatible with new JPEG and PNG plugin version 2.0.

Update on July 21, 2015

Added code that lowers the bit depth for 16 bit RGB images.
