It sends images, renders, render passes, UV layouts and layered PSDs from Blender to Photoshop, and pulls your edits back. Edit Image opens a texture in Photoshop and reloads it in Blender the moment you save — a live, hands-free round-trip with no manual exporting or importing.

No. The bridge is entirely file-based, so it works with a stock Photoshop. There's an optional "Send to Blender" script that adds a one-click export to Photoshop's File ▸ Scripts menu, but you can also just Save or Export into the inbox folder yourself.

When you Edit Image, the add-on watches that file. Every time you save it in Photoshop, Blender reloads the image in place automatically — no clicking Get. Click "Stop Watching Edits" to end the link. You can also choose to keep each save as a versioned copy (`_v001`, `_v002`, …) instead of reloading in place.

Yes. Send Render Passes renders the enabled passes of the active view layer and opens them as one layered PSD, each pass on its own layer (the individual PNGs are dropped alongside). Send Textures can also stack a material's maps into a single layered PSD. The layered PSD is built in-house, so no Photoshop plugin is needed.

Yes. Edit with UV Layout opens the texture together with the mesh's UV layout — in Photoshop the UVs arrive stacked as their own layer. New Texture with UV Guide creates a blank document at 512–4096 px with the UV layout as a guide layer, then assigns the painted result to the material's base colour on save.

Yes. Edit as Height, Return as Normal opens the image in Photoshop to paint a height/bump map; when you save, it's wired into the active material through a Bump/Normal-Map node automatically and set to Non-Color.

Use Get Latest Image, or turn on Watch Inbox to auto-import anything Photoshop saves into the bridge folder. The "On Get" setting decides what happens: load the image, assign it to the active material's base colour, or drop it in as a plane.

Send Textures opens every image texture on the active material for live editing; As PSD stacks them into one layered document; and Import PSD / Image to Material wires a flattened PSD or image straight onto the material's base colour.

Yes. Import Layer Folder as Planes turns every image in a folder into its own plane (alpha kept, stacked in order), or places them as camera-facing, shadeless reference in a "Reference" collection.
