Aspose.PSD Add Layer From File

Overview

Adding layers to images is a common task in image editing and manipulation. With Aspose.PSD for Java, you can easily add any file as a layer to your PSD (Photoshop Document) files using a simple and straightforward API.

Aspose.PSD for Java provides a powerful set of features for working with PSD files, including layer editing capabilities. The library supports a wide range of image formats, allowing you to add layers from various file types such as JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and more.

To add an image file as a layer, you can use the ‘add_layer’ method provided by the Aspose.PSD API. This method accepts the path to the image file as input and automatically converts it into a layer that can be added to your PSD file.

Example

Here’s a code sample that demonstrates how to add an image file as a layer using Aspose.PSD for Java:

public class AddFileAsLayer {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String inputFile = "inputFile.png";
        String outputFile = "AddFileAsLayer.psd";

        try {
            // Open file as InputStream
            try (InputStream inputStream = Files.newInputStream(Paths.get(inputFile))) {
                // Create PSD Layer from InputStream
                Layer layer = new Layer(inputStream);

                // Create PSD Image with the specified size
                try (PsdImage psdImage = new PsdImage(layer.getWidth(), layer.getHeight())) {

                    // Add Layer to PSD Image
                    psdImage.setLayers(new Layer[]{layer});

                    // Get Pixels from File
                    int[] pixels = layer.loadArgb32Pixels(layer.getBounds());
                    int pixelsLength = pixels.length;

                    // Fill the pixels data with some values
                    for (int i = 0; i < pixelsLength; i++) {
                        if (i % 5 == 0) {
                            pixels[i] = 500000;
                        }
                    }

                    // Fast Save of Updated Image Data
                    layer.saveArgb32Pixels(layer.getBounds(), pixels);

                    // Save PSD Image
                    try (OutputStream outputStream = Files.newOutputStream(Paths.get(outputFile))) {
                        psdImage.save(outputStream);
                    }
                }
            }
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
