Photoshop SDK for Delphi

Photoshop SDK for Delphi is a new plug-in development solution for Borland Delphi 5, 6, 7 and for Borland C++ Builder 6. Basically the software consists of two main parts: the plug-in development wizard and the filter host component. We have tried to make this software as versatile as possible, even though there are still certain features are missing.

    • Filter modules
