How It Works

1. Install the Photoshop Companion Plugin

To enable seamless integration between Blender and Photoshop, install the Photoshop to Blender Companion Plugin:

Automatic Installation (Recommended)

Locate the file `Photoshop to Blender.cxx` in the installation folder.

Double-click to launch—this will open Adobe Creative Cloud, which will guide you through the plugin installation process.

Once installed, restart Photoshop to activate the plugin.

Manual Installation (Alternative Method)

Open Photoshop.

Navigate to Edit > Preferences > Plugins, and ensure "Allow Extensions to Connect to the Internet" is enabled.

Copy the plugin folder to the Photoshop Plugins directory (typically found under `C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop\Plug-ins\` on Windows or `/Applications/Adobe Photoshop/Plug-ins/` on macOS).

Restart Photoshop.

2. Set Up the Connection in Blender

Open Blender and go to Edit > Preferences > Add-ons.

Find Photoshop Link and enable it.

If Photoshop is not auto-detected, manually set the Photoshop installation path in the add-on settings.

2. Edit and Save in Photoshop
