Aspose.PSD Add Layer From File

Overview

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

Aspose.PSD for Python 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 Python:

# This example from Aspose.PSD for Python Gist

from io import BytesIO
from aspose.psd.fileformats.psd import PsdImage
from aspose.psd.fileformats.psd.layers import Layer

inputFile = "inputFile.png"
outputFile = "AddFileAsLayer.psd"

# Open file as Stream
with open(inputFile, "rb", buffering=0) as filestream:
    stream = BytesIO(filestream.read())
    stream.seek(0)

    # Create PSD Layer from Stream
    layer = Layer(stream)

    # Create PSD Image with the specified size
    psdImage = PsdImage(layer.width, layer.height)

    # Add Layer to PSD Image
    psdImage.layers = [layer]

    # Get Pixels from File
    pixels = layer.load_argb_32_pixels(layer.bounds)
    pixelsRange = range(len(pixels))

    # Fill the pixels data with some values
    for i in pixelsRange:
        if i % 5 == 0:
            pixels[i] = 500000

    # Fast Save of Updated Image Data
    layer.save_argb_32_pixels(layer.bounds, pixels)

    # Save PSD Image
    psdImage.save(outputFile)
