In plain English

Auto-Photoshop-StableDiffusion-Plugin is a plugin that adds AI image generation directly into Adobe Photoshop. Instead of switching back and forth between Photoshop and a separate AI tool, you can generate images from text prompts, modify existing images with AI, and edit everything in the same workspace you already know. The plugin connects to one of two background programs that do the actual AI work: Automatic1111 (also called A1111) or ComfyUI. You install one of those separately on your computer, and the plugin talks to it while you stay inside Photoshop. This lets you use all of Photoshop's regular editing tools on your AI-generated images without ever leaving the application. Installing the plugin comes with three options. The simplest is a one-click installer that handles everything automatically. A second method involves downloading and unzipping a folder into the right location. The third method is aimed at developers who want to load it through Photoshop's built-in extension system called UXP, which requires more manual steps. If you do not have a graphics card capable of running AI models locally, the plugin still has options. You can connect it to Stable Horde, a free network where volunteers share their computing power to process your requests, or use Google Colab to run the AI part on a remote computer in the cloud. The plugin works with recent versions of Photoshop and is built in TypeScript. It has a Discord community for questions and troubleshooting, and the developer maintains a Patreon page where supporters get early access to new features.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1
I have Automatic1111 running locally on port 7860. Walk me through installing the Auto-Photoshop-StableDiffusion-Plugin and connecting it to A1111 so I can generate images inside Photoshop.
Prompt 2
How do I use the inpainting feature in this Photoshop plugin to replace the background of a portrait photo with an AI-generated outdoor scene? Give me step-by-step instructions.
Prompt 3
I don't have a GPU capable of running Stable Diffusion. How do I configure the Auto-Photoshop-StableDiffusion-Plugin to use Stable Horde so I can generate images for free?
Prompt 4
Write a step-by-step Photoshop workflow for creating a product mockup: generate the product image with the SD plugin, then composite it onto a background using standard Photoshop layers.
