Step-by-Step Guide to Automating PSD Image Editing and Export

dotnet add package Aspose.PSD

using Aspose.PSD;

Metered license = new Metered();
license.SetMeteredKey("<your public key>", "<your private key>");
Console.WriteLine("Metered license configured successfully.");

using (PsdImage image = (PsdImage)Image.Load("input.psd"))
{
    var brightnessContrast = image.AddBrightnessContrastAdjustmentLayer(32, 50);
    var exposure = image.AddExposureAdjustmentLayer();
    exposure.Exposure = 9;
    Console.WriteLine("Adjustments applied to image.");
}

foreach (var file in Directory.GetFiles("path_to_psd_files", "*.psd"))
{
    using (PsdImage image = (PsdImage)Image.Load(file))
    {
        var exposure = image.AddExposureAdjustmentLayer();
        exposure.Exposure = 8;
        image.Save(Path.Combine("output_path", Path.GetFileName(file)), new ImageSaveOptions(ImageFormat.Png));
    }
}
Console.WriteLine("Batch processing completed.");
