TK plugin
The TK plugin is the latest release of my comprehensive panel for making luminosity masks and running Photoshop. Like its predecessors, it’s modular, so users can configure it in whatever manner works best in their workspace. The plugin is used worldwide and comes pre-programmed with six common languages: English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, and Chinese. Users can choose the language they prefer. TK8 works equally well on Windows and Mac computers, including computers running Apple silicon processors, like the Mac M1. Installation is easy. Photoshop 2021 or higher is required to run it.
TK9-beta was released on April 1, 2024. It is built on Adobe’s UXP architecture and includes most of the features of the TK7 board. Therefore, TK8-beta works well on Mac M1 computers and should be compatible with future versions of Photoshop. This happens even if Adobe stops supporting CEP panels. TK8-beta is a free upgrade for customers who downloaded TK version 2, which was released on July 1, 2020.
Features of TK plugin
