01
Too much context switching
Designers move between Adobe apps, DAM platforms, spreadsheets, and ticketing tools to finish one task.
Adobe Plugin Development
Adobe plugins for enterprise workflows.
Creative tools connected to data, automation, and AI.Evolve Blue builds and modernizes extensions for Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere Pro, and After Effects. We bring approved content, business rules, and connected systems into the tools creative teams already use.

Modernization paths: CEP and UXP
U.S.
Onshore-first delivery
01 / Why teams extend Adobe
Remove the work around the creative work
Creative teams lose time when assets, metadata, approvals, and production rules live outside the host application. A focused extension brings those steps into one governed flow.
02
Manual production steps
Naming, resizing, metadata entry, layout setup, and export checks repeat across every asset or campaign.
03
Disconnected source data
Product, licensing, campaign, and brand data change in business systems without reaching creative files cleanly.
04
Aging extension code
Older CEP and ExtendScript tools become harder to secure, support, and release as Adobe platforms change.
02 / What we build
Adobe extensions with enterprise depth
We cover the in-app experience, the services behind it, and the operational work needed to keep the extension useful after launch.
UXP panels and extensions
We build focused panels, dialogs, commands, and contextual tools for current Adobe application models.
Creative workflow automation
We automate repeatable setup, asset placement, file naming, resizing, export, review, and handoff steps.
DAM, CMS, and PIM connections
We connect Adobe apps to approved assets, product data, content platforms, and internal APIs with clear access rules.
Templates and document engines
We build controlled templates for catalogs, packaging, licensed artwork, campaign variants, and production documents.
CEP and ExtendScript modernization
We assess existing code, preserve critical workflows, and move supported features to UXP or a stable service layer.
Release and distribution
We prepare signing, packaging, testing, documentation, private deployment, and Adobe marketplace submissions.
03 / Enterprise AI layer
Add governed AI to creative operations
AI should reduce preparation and review work without taking control away from designers. We place models behind clear permissions, approved sources, and human checkpoints.
- Search approved assets and knowledge without leaving the creative application.
- Classify, tag, summarize, and route content before a designer acts on it.
- Suggest layout, copy, or production changes while keeping final approval with the user.
- Log source data, model actions, and user decisions for governed enterprise use.
Enterprise AI workflow
01
Sources
Approved content and data
DAM, PIM, CMS, licensing, campaign, and policy sources.
02
Workspace
Purpose-built Adobe panel
The user works inside the host application with role-aware controls.
03
Intelligence
AI, rules, and review
Models assist with search and checks while business rules and people govern output.
04
Operations
Connected production output
Files, metadata, approvals, and status return to enterprise systems.
04 / Modernize and operate
Protect the workflow as platforms change
A plugin is part of a larger production system. We plan for version changes, access controls, deployment, observability, and long-term ownership from the start.
CEP to UXP planning
We inventory commands, dependencies, APIs, and host-app differences before choosing a staged migration path.
Secure service architecture
Sensitive business logic and credentials stay behind managed APIs, identity controls, and auditable services.
Release and managed support
We test host-app changes, track errors, maintain packages, and add new workflows through planned releases.
05 / Relevant work
Adobe plugin work in production
Our case studies show the operational side of plugin development: governed files, accurate production data, and tools that stay useful for years.
Adobe plugin suite
SLS creative production across three Adobe apps
A connected suite for Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign reduced manual artwork replication and helped teams keep licensed creative work consistent.
Photoshop workflow
SharkNinja file automation with central governance
A custom Photoshop extension and admin panel automated naming and storage rules while giving operations teams control over the workflow.
06 / Delivery process
From workflow discovery to supported release
We validate the user journey and host-app limits early, then build in small releases with real creative files and enterprise systems.
01
Discover
Map the creative task, users, host apps, source systems, and release constraints.
→ Workflow brief
02
Prototype
Test the panel flow and technical seams with representative files and users.
→ Approved prototype
03
Build and test
Develop the extension, services, integrations, permissions, and automated checks.
→ Release candidate
04
Release and run
Package, deploy, document, monitor, and support the extension after launch.
→ Production extension
07 · Common questions
Adobe Plugin Development questions.
Which Adobe applications do you support?
We build extensions for Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere Pro, and After Effects. The exact architecture depends on the host application, Adobe API support, and the workflow you need.
Can you migrate a CEP extension to UXP?
Yes. We first review the existing panel, ExtendScript code, native dependencies, and unsupported APIs. We then define what can move directly, what needs a service layer, and what should be retired.
Can an Adobe plugin connect to our DAM or PIM?
Yes. We connect extensions to DAM, PIM, CMS, CRM, licensing, and custom business systems through secured APIs. We also plan caching, offline behavior, permissions, and audit needs.
How do you use AI inside an Adobe workflow?
We use AI for focused tasks such as asset search, tagging, content checks, summarization, and guided production steps. We keep approved data sources, permissions, and human review in the flow.
Do you support deployment after development?
Yes. We support private enterprise distribution, package signing, version testing, marketplace preparation, release notes, monitoring, and ongoing maintenance.
