Adobe posts Lightroom 1.3 Export SDK
Adobe has posted the first Lightroom SDK on Adobe Labs.
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 1.3 Export SDK
From the Lightroom Export SDK page:
This public prerelease provides a Software Development Kit that will allow developers to enable communication from the Lightroom 1.3 Export Dialog to third party tools, web sites or devices. Using the SDK and an IDE of your choice will allow you to create Export plug-ins that further streamline the photographic workflow. This SDK, based on the open source Lua language, includes plug-in sample code for a Flickr and FTP plug-in that demonstrate how to extend the Export dialog interface for specific tasks.
The Lightroom Export SDK preview is the Lightroom product team’s first opportunity to engage the developer community. While this preview SDK functionality is limited to the Export dialog, the discussion should be expanded to include any functional area that a developer would like to build upon.Included in the SDK:
- API Reference Documentation
