As I understand it Adobe has a partner program for third party plug-in developers. To have access to up to date documentation you( or your company ) has to be a partner.

Yes Mike, there are several partnership programs (with a bouquet of different offers/fees), starting from the Solution Parner Program to the Enterprise Developer Program (I know because I'm a former Solution Partner subscriber, in the times when Extension Builder wasn't for sale but only given as a benefit to Adobe partners - confusing times... ). These programs, imho, are halfway between technical and commercial.

What is - to my experience - "less true" is that Partners have access to updated documentation. There are extra resources, but the ones I've been exposed to are partner recordings, NDA meetings and marketing stuff (logos, copy, etc). I'm afraid the docs are just the ones we know.

If Colorguy wants to try it (I won't, but if he wants...) there's a Technology Partner Program I've just recently discovered: that should be more focused on tech stuff - sort of there's an Adobe guy that directly supports you on specific projects ("How do I put this function in there so that the plug communicates with this other chunk of code?" and so on).

Of course it's a paid program, you can ask for info to the Technology Partners helpdesk, which is techpart at adobe dot com.
If you're willing to try, share with us what they say
Kind regards

UPDATE
========
You can find info on Technology Partner program here.
Three levels, Gold (7,495 USD), Silver (2.495 USD), Bronze (495 USD) - depending on the one you pick up, you've limited/unlimited support cases, software, training, etc.

I wonder if the examples here might be of use?

The Solution Partner Program does not support developers creating solutions using Adobe desktop products. This came directly from Adobe's site.

I checked into the Technology Partner Program and that does focus on Desktop Developers. Their mid-range membership is $2495 annually, which I could swallow if it provides the type of technical assistance needed. I'll need to contact them for a little more information prior to forking over the cash however. Knowing Adobe, one phone call might count as using up a single support case.

The approach I'm taking now is trying to hunt down a seasoned plugin developer with experience willing to offer help for a fee. Someone that also speaks English clearly and based in the USA. LOL!

I still think for info/help with SDK pulg-in you would have better luck at http://forums.adobe.com/community/photo ... toshop_sdk ... toshop_sdk

I've looked there many times and asked a few things in the past. Not much help.

The general Adobe PS forums on their site are good for newbs and questions like: "What's a channel"?
