   .obsidian/plugins/photopea-plugin
   

2. Navigate to Obsidian settings:

   • Go to Settings → Community Plugins.
   • Enable Community Plugins (if not already enabled).
   • Click on "Browse", search for this plugin, and install it.

3. Enable the Photopea Plugin in your Installed Plugins list.

Usage

1. Open any PNG, JPG, or JPEG image in your Obsidian vault.
2. The default image viewer will be replaced with the Photopea editor.
3. Edit the image directly in Photopea.
4. Save and export your changes from Photopea when editing is complete.

Technical Details

• The plugin generates a Data URI of the selected image to load it into Photopea.
• The Photopea editor is embedded using an iframe that dynamically adjusts to the dimensions of your Obsidian panel.
• Once you save the image in Photopea, you can re-import it back into your Obsidian vault manually.

Known Issues

• Saving Changes: Currently, you must manually save the edited image from Photopea and replace it in your Obsidian vault. Automated saving is not yet supported.
• Large Images: Performance may vary with large image files due to the browser-based nature of Photopea.

Future Features

• Automatic Saving: Implement seamless saving of edited images directly back into the Obsidian vault.
• Additional Formats: Add support for more image formats (e.g., GIF, SVG).
• Custom Scripts: Allow users to define custom scripts for automating tasks in Photopea.
