Writing plugins for PSP X6

Post by Kasper »

After an exhaustive search (well, I'm exhausted!) I can't find anything about writing plugins for PSP. I'm happy writing fairly complex scripts, and I could make them ask for parameters to make them more interactive, but it would be useful, interesting, and just plain fun to create a plugin with a GUI. I see Photoshop does a development kit, but as a PSP user I'd prefer a Corel product. I have a background in IT programming (if I haven't forgotten everything since I gave it up), so writing code holds no fears.
I also use PSP 8 quite a lot; it would be good but not vital, if they were compatible.

PSP is only compatible with Photoshop plugins, they don't have their own, so to develop plugins for x6 you need to learn to make Photoshop plugins.

Of course the Python implementation that comes with PSP includes TKinter so you can make simple GUIs with scripts.

Ah -- thanks for the suggestion. Maybe that's the line I should follow for now.
