How to Apply Adjustment Layers and Export Processed PSD Files in .NET

Whether you’re working with photography, marketing images, or print materials, applying adjustments to your PSD files and exporting them in various formats is essential for image management. Aspose.PSD for .NET makes this process seamless, allowing you to apply adjustment layers to PSD files and export the results in popular image formats like TIFF, JPEG, and PNG.

Why Use Adjustment Layers and Export PSD Files?

  1. Image Editing Flexibility:
    • Apply non-destructive edits to images using Adjustment Layers for brightness, contrast, vibrance, and more.
  2. Exporting in Multiple Formats:
    • Convert PSD files into formats like TIFF, JPEG, and PNG for easy sharing or printing.
  3. Batch Processing:
    • Automate adjustments and export multiple PSD files at once, saving time.

Prerequisites: Preparing Your PSD Files for Editing

  1. Install Aspose.PSD for .NET:
    • Add Aspose.PSD to your project via NuGet:
      dotnet add package Aspose.PSD
  2. License Configuration:
    • Use SetMeteredKey() to unlock features and remove watermarks.
  3. Prepare PSD Files:
    • Ensure the PSD files are formatted correctly and ready for editing.

Step-by-Step Guide: Apply Adjustment Layers and Export PSD Files

Step 1: Install the Required Libraries

Install Aspose.PSD for .NET to get started.

dotnet add package Aspose.PSD

Step 2: Set Up Your Metered License

Configure your license to unlock all features.

using Aspose.PSD;

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

Step 3: Load and Edit PSD Files Using PsdImage

Load the PSD file using the PsdImage class to access its layers.

using (PsdImage image = (PsdImage)Image.Load("input.psd"))
{
    Console.WriteLine("PSD file loaded successfully.");
}

Step 4: Apply Adjustment Layers for Image Editing

Add adjustments like Brightness/Contrast, Exposure, or Vibrance for image enhancement.

var brightnessContrast = image.AddBrightnessContrastAdjustmentLayer(32, 50);
Console.WriteLine("Brightness/Contrast adjustment applied.");

Apply other effects such as Exposure:

var exposure = image.AddExposureAdjustmentLayer();
exposure.Exposure = 9;
Console.WriteLine("Exposure adjustment applied.");

Step 5: Export Processed PSD Files to TIFF, JPEG, or PNG

Save the processed PSD file to the desired image format.

image.Save("output_image.png", new ImageSaveOptions(ImageFormat.Png));
Console.WriteLine("Image exported successfully as PNG.");
