Adobe Photoshop and Bridge has opened the doors to users and third party developers to extend our applications through scripting.

Peter Krogh's Rapid Fixer and Lexar's recently announced Smart Download are commercial examples.

Thomas Fors recently updated his ACR Calibrator script to work with Adobe Camera Raw 3.3.

Photoshopnews.com has a script that lets users browse the Photoshop News website right inside of Bridge without using a web browser or RSS news reader.

BarredRock Software has an interesting collection of scripts for Photoshop, Bridge and Illustrator.

Yahoo Widgets (formerly Konfabulator) has a script that takes your layered Photoshop document and makes a fully functional Widget out of it.

Apple has two scripts for iPhoto to interface with Photoshop: Do Photoshop Action & Prepare Images for iDVD.

Extending applications isn't limited to the Creative Suite - Check out this third-party developed extension that gives Fireworks Photoshop's Layer Comps functionality.
