some non-adobe apps pretend to be photoshop so they can claim to run actual photoshop plug-ins (same binary), usually not very well because they do an incomplete job of pretending to be photoshop.SandmannospamEric Stevens
calling something a photoshop plug-in is not infringing. it is, after all, a photoshop plug-in. it does not in any way mean it was authored by adobe.
Hmm. The same plugins will often run with Paint Shop Pro, Gimp, Irfan VIew etc. Does that make them Paint Shop Pro, Gimp, Irfan View plugins?
It does, and it's not the same plugins, they are all different actual binaries (that sometimes, in turn, launch the same external binary).
I.e. the plugin *file* installed into the applications are not the same. You can't take a Photoshop plugin file and put it in the PSP plugin directory and it will work. Tony once thought so (as did Savageduck) with regards to Lightroom, but after some research it turned out not to be true.
