PsdReader Class

Contains methods and properties used to read PSD images.

Namespace: Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Codecs.Psd
Assembly: Aurigma.GraphicsMill (in Aurigma.GraphicsMill.dll)

Syntax

C# 
public sealed class PsdReader : ImageReader

Remarks

PSD (Photoshop Document) is a native bitmap file format of the Adobe® Photoshop® program using lossless data compression. This format is a de facto standard for designers all over the world. The PSD image format is rather complex and stores a lot of layers and additional data (image layers, text layers, applied effects, etc.).

Examples

The following code opens a PSD file, iterates through its layers, and saves bitmaps from the raster layers to separate PNG files:

C# 
//create PSD reader
using (var reader = new PsdReader(@"Images\BusinessCard.psd"))
{
    //read layers and save raster layers in PNG files
    for (int i = 0; i < reader.Frames.Count; i++)
    {
        using (var frame = reader.Frames[i])
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Frame " + frame.Index + " is processing. Frame type is " + frame.Type + ".");

            if (frame.Type == FrameType.Raster)
            {
                using (var bitmap = frame.GetBitmap())
                {
                    bitmap.Save(@"Images\Output\frame_" + i + ".png");
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
