Photoshop's missing AI pipeline, duct-taped in

What it does

SD-PPP is an unofficial Photoshop plugin that turns the venerable image editor into a frontend for external AI image generators. Pick a layer, an area, or a whole document in Photoshop, send it out to ComfyUI, Midjourney, Flux, Replicate, RunningHUB, or Nano-banana, and get the result back without managing exports by hand.

The interesting bit

The 2.0 beta drops the need for custom ComfyUI nodes entirely — the plugin speaks the APIs directly. It also adds keyboard-shortcut selection and a new image-sending UI, which suggests the author actually uses this for real work rather than demo videos.

Key highlights

• Supports ComfyUI, Midjourney, Flux-Kontext variants, Replicate, RunningHUB, and Nano-banana
• No custom nodes required for ComfyUI in 2.0 beta
• Select specific areas, layers, or whole documents for processing
• Keyboard shortcuts for image selection
• Requires Photoshop 2025 (PS 26.0+) — the beta won’t run on older versions

Caveats

• The README is sparse on technical details; source code lives in a separate monorepo with no link to documentation
• “2.0 Beta” implies stability and API changes are still in motion
• Only supports very recent Photoshop versions

Verdict

Worth a look if you live in Photoshop but generate images elsewhere and are tired of the export-upload-download-import dance. Skip it if you’re on older Photoshop, need deep workflow documentation, or want a fully open-source stack without beta uncertainty.
