The TK8 Plugin for Photoshop v1.2.3 is a versatile and user-friendly panel designed for luminosity masks and Photoshop automation. It offers a range of features and can be customized to suit individual workflows. The plugin supports multiple languages, including English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, and Chinese, and works seamlessly on both Windows and Mac computers, including those with Apple silicon processors. Installation is simple, and it requires Photoshop 2022 version 23.2.0 or higher.

The main highlight of the TK8 Plugin is its ability to create pixel-based masks, such as luminosity masks, with ease. However, it also provides options for generating masks based on color channels, hue, color, saturation, vibrance, and even custom alpha channels. The latest addition includes the ability to generate edge masks. The plugin offers a step-by-step workflow, allowing users to choose the source, create the mask, modify it, and output it in various ways, such as adjustment layers, selections, mask painting, and more.

Additionally, the TK8 Plugin introduced the My Actions module in July 2022, which allows users to add their own personalized Photoshop actions, menu items, keyboard shortcuts, and scripts. This feature provides flexibility and enables users to create a customized Photoshop experience within the plugin. The TK8 Plugin has a compact design, featuring logical submenus that automatically close when not in use, ensuring a clutter-free workspace.

The plugin is built on Adobe’s UXP architecture and is exclusively designed for Photoshop. While it requires the latest Photoshop version, it offers compatibility with future versions. The TK8 Plugin’s Multi-Mask module provides a comprehensive set of mask creation tools, while the Combo/Cx module combines Photoshop control, web-sharpening, watermarking, and creative actions. The My Actions module enables users to organize their most frequently used actions and create their own personalized plugin. The plugin also includes useful features like exposure blending actions, integrated web-sharpening, watermarking options, and programmable buttons.
