"Photoshop Plug-ins"

Is it your claim now that the plug-ins listed on that page were all written by Adobe, Tony?

Tony Cooper
No, each plug-in listing tells you who developed the plug-in. Adobe is specifying that they didn't develop them.

Sandman
But you just said that only Adobe can make Photoshop plug-ins, and that page lists Photoshop plug-ins. Tricky situation you've gotten yourself into!

Tony Cooper
Right. Only Adobe can call plug-in an "Adobe Plugin",

twist twist twist.

Tony Cooper
but they can approve vendors as suppliers of plugins for Photoshop.

nospam
approval is not required to write photoshop plug-ins. all that's needed is to download the sdk and start writing.

Tony Cooper
Are you disagreeing, then, that Adobe can approve vendors as suppliers of plugins for Photoshop? Adding your comment to disagree with mine? That "can" is not possible?

nospam
there is no approval needed to write photoshop plug-ins. period. end. of. story.

it's a marketing page. there may be an agreement between adobe and the companies to be listed.

Tony Cooper
Is that not "approval"?

nospam
only for inclusion on that particular page, which has nothing to do with writing and publishing a plug-in.

most photoshop plug-ins are *not* listed there.

that list is basically 'plug-ins that might make you want to buy photoshop'.
