Quick workflow fit

A faster Blender ↔ Photoshop image-editing loop

Send a Blender render or selected image to Photoshop, edit it, and return the result to Blender without repeatedly saving, locating, and re-importing files.

Best for: Texture artists, look-development artists and render finishing workflows that move repeatedly between Blender and Photoshop.

What transfers / what you get: Render Result or a selected Image Editor image, edited image versions and the transfer workflow managed by the Blender panel.

Before you buy: Adobe Photoshop must be installed. The included Photoshop companion plugin must also be installed. This transfers images—not Blender geometry, materials or a live Photoshop document session.

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.

Using Photoshop Link

1. Send to Photoshop

Option 1: Render your scene in Blender and select the Render Result.

Option 2: Open the Image Editor in Blender and choose a specific texture or image.

Click "Send to Photoshop" in the Photoshop Link Panel (found in the 3D View Sidebar).

The image will automatically open in Photoshop.

2. Edit and Save in Photoshop

Modify the image as needed in Photoshop.

Click "Save and Send to Blender" in the Photoshop Companion Plugin Panel inside Photoshop.

This saves the file and prepares it for transfer back to Blender.

3. Import Back into Blender

Return to Blender and click "Import from Photoshop" in the Photoshop Link Panel.

The updated image will load into Blender, either replacing the existing image or creating a new version, depending on your settings.
