As a professional in the creative industry, I've had the opportunity to work with Adobe Photoshop for many years. In this review, I'll share my thoughts on the software's strengths, weaknesses, and overall value.

Underlying the DOM is the , a lower-level, compiled-code interface. When a user clicks a button in the GUI, Photoshop internally executes an "Action ID." Scripters can access these event IDs directly using the app.executeAction method. This is often used to access features not yet exposed in the high-level DOM, effectively "hacking" the internal message passing of the application.

This architecture ensures that the "code" of Photoshop is modular. A third-party developer can write a filter using the Adobe SDK, compile it, and have it run natively within the application’s memory space.
