description: A specialized plugin type that combines UXP's JavaScript, HTML, and CSS plugin framework
  with native C++ code compiled as a .uxpaddon. This allows developers to write performance-critical code
  in C++ such as pixel-level image processing while using UXP for the user interface layer. Hybrid plugins
  can integrate with the traditional Photoshop C++ SDK to create filters that appear in Photoshop's Filter
  menu or implement new file format support. Requires Photoshop v24.2.0 or later.
