Adobe recently announced their purchase of Figma for $20 billion US dollars, immediately causing feelings of betrayal and disgust amongst web developers worldwide. How is this betrayal? Why all the disgust? Adobe has a history of letting their own products stagnate, then eventually killing them off or abandoning them altogether. Back in 2005, Adobe acquired Macromedia, who was Adobe’s only true rival at the time. Macromedia had an innovative design software called Fireworks, which was a very versatile tool for putting together website layouts using vector graphics and was basically an early version of Figma. Fireworks integrated seamlessly with Dreamweaver, another Macromedia product for creating websites that was considered state-of-the-art at the time. Adobe decided to abandon Fireworks in 2013 to promote Photoshop and Illustrator use in designing website layouts, even though neither of those programs had key development integrations such as HTML or CSS tags. For the past decade, Adobe has had to contend with Figma, a San Francisco based startup that makes a great web design and development app, using vector graphics and allows for team collaboration online. Figma is easy to use, and can really speed up the development process by streamlining the creation of wireframes, user interfaces and visual site design. Adobe XD is basically Figma with a clunkier and somewhat awkward interface, but is used for the same purposes as Figma. One major difference is that for individual or freelance developers, Figma is free whereas Adobe XD starts at $10/month. Here is where the betrayal and disgust set in…it is clear that Adobe considers themselves to be the Microsoft of web development, swallowing up rivals and offering stale products that offer little to no innovation. Several years ago Adobe switched to a subscription based model, abandoning the ability to purchase their software at a fixed price. Certainly it won’t be long before Figma is put behind a paywall and left to slowly deteriorate like so many of Adobe’s other products over the years. Adobe makes claims that Figma is not a “direct competitor.” If that is true, then who exactly is their direct competitor? Why are software companies seemingly free from antitrust laws? How is any of this good for web developers? In their press release, : Adobe stated “With Adobe’s and Figma’s expansive product portfolio, the combined company will have a rare opportunity to power the future of work by bringing together capabilities for brainstorming, sharing, creativity and collaboration and delivering these innovations to hundreds of millions of customers.” Here is a newsflash Adobe: developers already collaborate, share and create every single day without Adobe having to step in and corner the market on “collaboration”. Like Microsoft, Adobe is essentially the opposite of open-source. Their arrogant and condescending behavior shows little to no respect or concern for actual web developers and designers. I have been in web development since the late 1990s, back when the field was called web design. Having used Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and other products, I can say with certainty that their software has really not fundamentally changed or evolved over the past 25 years. Figma was an innovator, taking a “web first” approach to vector graphics, and was a better product than Adobe XD…and, they offered it for FREE. Now, I know that nothing is really “free.” Clearly Figma has been positioning themselves to be bought out for a ridiculous sum of money for quite some time, and they did it. Hooray for you, Figma. Just like so many other Silicon Valley startups, you create something innovative and exciting, and then sell out and that’s the end of the innovation. All this is to say that independent web developers need to collaborate with open source platforms as much as possible. One bright side of this predictable corporate acquisition is that hopefully this will encourage further interest in true open source design projects, such as . https://penpot.app It is much harder for developers who work on bigger teams or large corporations to switch to open source alternatives, but for freelancers and smaller groups the time has come to stop supporting Adobe or any other tech giants who continually show such contempt for the people who use their products.

Best Ways to Utilize the Adobe Experience Cloud: A Short Overview

Rewarding Consumer Attention in the Metaverse: Insights from Adobe's Strategic Development Manager 

We recently introduced you to the . In our previous article, we covered what the APIs are at a high level and gave a rundown of the features available. In this post, we’ll now actually give you an example of working with the API. While this blog post will use Node, the provided can be used on any platform. Adobe Photoshop APIs REST-based APIs Prerequisites Working with Photoshop APIs requires two main things. First, you need to sign up and get your credentials. You will first be asked to create a project. You can rename the generated project to something more sensible if you wish. After successfully creating the project, your browser will download a file, , that contains a public certificate and private key. You'll also be shown a screen with your client ID: config.zip In order to work with the API however, we’ll need a bit more. Clicking the “Console” button in the upper right corner of the page will take you to the Adobe Developer console. Find your newly created project there and click on Credentials in the left-hand nav. On this page, you’ll find your client id, client secret, technical account id, technical account email, and organization ID. All of these values are needed and will be used in our code in a bit, so keep them handy. Note that the developer console lets you generate an access token that’s valid for 24 hours. While that’s acceptable for quick testing, the demo we’ll build in this post will be able to generate the token dynamically. Now that you have credentials, you need to figure out where you store both your input and outputs. The Photoshop APIs support three cloud storage providers: AWS S3 Azure Blob Storage Dropbox Signing up for and provisioning these providers is outside the scope of this article, but the provide some basic guidance on what’s required from each. For the purpose of this article, we’ll be using a SAS (Shared Access Signature) for Microsoft’s Azure storage service. We will specify both a root domain and the SAS as credential information that we’ll store with the Adobe-related credentials. (Note that SAS values can be, and typically are, generated dynamically. For this article we’re using one created with a long-term expiration to keep things simpler.) docs Note that you can also point the APIs at URL that can be publicly read, or POSTed to for results. Setting up an image or PSD on the web is easy enough, but to handle the POST result you would need a server prepared to accept, and handle, the content. any What we are building For this demo, we’ll write a script that makes use of the API. As you can probably guess, this API will intelligently figure out the part of the image that represents the focused, foreground object, select the rest as the background, and remove it. Here’s an example taken from our docs: Remove Background For the purpose of this post, the script will take a hard-coded input file available on our Azure Blob storage system, ask the Photoshop API to perform the Remove Background API on it, and write the result back to Azure with “-modified” added to the filename as we can compare and contrast. In a real environment, these values would be more dynamic, would possibly overwrite the original if not needed, and so forth. The code Now for the fun part, actually writing some code! As stated above, we’re going to be using Node for this post, but everything we’re covering here could be done in any other language. Let’s start off by getting our dependencies: const fetch = require('node-fetch');
require('dotenv').config();

const auth = require("@adobe/jwt-auth"); First, we load in the package, for our demo we specified the 2.x release which still works with . This was done via . Next, we load in the package to help set up our credentials. You'll see that portion next. Finally, we load in the package which simplifies creating access tokens for Adobe services. node-fetch require npm install node-fetch@2 dotenv @adobe/jwt-auth Now let’s talk credentials. As stated above, we have both a set of values required to authenticate with the Photoshop API, as well as credentials for our storage. The package helps with this. In a production environment, these secrets would be stored in environment variables. For our testing, we can simulate this using a file with key/value pairs and the package. Here's our file, with the secret values removed: dotenv .env dotenv .env CLIENT_ID=the client id
CLIENT_SECRET=the client secret
TECHNICAL_ACCOUNT_ID=you get the idea
TECHNICAL_ACCOUNT_EMAIL=more secret stuff
ORGANIZATION_ID=yet even more
KEY="The private key here with newlines replaced by \n characters"

STORAGE_HOST=specific to our Azure storage
STORAGE_SAS="a secret value" By using this file, we can test locally without actually setting the environment variables. Now let's go back to our code and load in the values: .env // Adobe related
const CLIENT_ID = process.env.CLIENT_ID;
const CLIENT_SECRET = process.env.CLIENT_SECRET;
const TECHNICAL_ACCOUNT_ID = process.env.TECHNICAL_ACCOUNT_ID;
const ORG_ID = process.env.ORGANIZATION_ID;
const KEY = process.env.KEY;

// Storage related
const STORAGE_HOST = process.env.STORAGE_HOST;
const STORAGE_SAS = process.env.STORAGE_SAS; Alright, now it’s time to start working with the API. The first thing we’ll do is generate an access token. This is somewhat easier thanks to the package. jwt-auth let config = {
	clientId: CLIENT_ID,
	clientSecret: CLIENT_SECRET, 
	technicalAccountId: TECHNICAL_ACCOUNT_ID,
	orgId: ORG_ID,
	privateKey: KEY,
	metaScopes:'ent_ccas_sdk'
}

let { access_token } = await auth(config); The most important part here, and this will be more important if you are generating your access tokens differently, is the value. This is required for working with Photoshop APIs. metaScopes Next, we’ll specify the input and output values for our test: let inputURL = `https://${STORAGE_HOST}.blob.core.windows.net/jedi/oldcan.jpg?${STORAGE_SAS}`;
let outputURL = `https://${STORAGE_HOST}.blob.core.windows.net/jedi/oldcan-modified.jpg?${STORAGE_SAS}`; The file we’re using to test here, , is seen below: oldcan.jpg Now it’s time to actually hit the API. Doing so requires us to specify what are input and output will be. The API supports multiple arguments related to how it should work with the data, but we can use the defaults and focus on specifying where to read and save data. Details about the arguments can be found in the . API reference let data = {
	"input":{
		"storage":"azure",
		"href":inputURL
	},
	"output": {
		"storage":"azure",
		"href":outputURL
	}
}

let resp = await fetch('https://image.adobe.io/sensei/cutout', {
	method: 'POST', 
	headers: {
		'Authorization':`Bearer ${access_token}`,
		'x-api-key': CLIENT_ID
	}, 
	body: JSON.stringify(data)
}); Note that the API call requires the access token generated before, the client id value, and are arguments that we created in the variable. data After firing off the request, we can then get the response: let result = await resp.json(); Here’s what that response looks like: {
  "_links": {
    "self": {
      "href": "https://image.adobe.io/sensei/status/b4e6e55d-3e80-4923-ba0b-8d2abc7a0a29"
    }
  }
} This response contains a unique URL (in the value) that queries the status of the API operation. Here's where things get a tiny bit tricky. We need to check this job to see how doing and keep checking until the job is done. There's a variety of ways of doing that, here's how we solved it in our sample application: href async function delay(x) {
	return new Promise(resolve => {
		setTimeout(() => {
			resolve();
		}, x);
	});
}

let status = 'running';
let jobResult;
while(status === 'running' || status === 'pending' || status === 'starting') {
	console.log('delaying while checking');
	await delay(5000);

	let jobReq = await fetch(result['_links']['self']['href'], {
		headers: {
			'Authorization':`Bearer ${access_token}`,
			'x-api-key': CLIENT_ID
		}
	})
	
	jobResult = await jobReq.json();
	
	status = jobResult['status'];
}

console.log('Final result', jobResult); Basically, while the job is in any kind of “still doing crap” status, we delay for five seconds and then check the job. Here’s an example of what that final result could look like: {
	"jobID":"3880ee39-1a21-4efd-889a-2b9c27af8b66",
	"status":"succeeded",
	"created":"2023-02-07T18:07:49.115Z",
	"modified":"2023-02-07T18:07:49.140Z",
	"input":"the url from earlier....",
	"options":{
		"optimize":"performance"
	},
	"metadata":{
		"service":{
			"version":"4.0"
		},
		"model":{
			"classification":"4",
			"universal":"4"
		}
	},
	"_links":{
		"self":{
			"href":"https://image.adobe.io/sensei/status/3880ee39-1a21-4efd-889a-2b9c27af8b66"
