• Easy Integration: Straightforward integration into your existing .NET applications with comprehensive documentation and support.

What's new in v.24.8.0

New Features & Enhancements

• Enhanced Warp Transformation: The new WarpSettings feature is introduced for TextLayer and SmartObjectLayer, enabling more advanced warp transformations within PSD files. This enhancement allows for precise manipulation of text and smart object layers, providing greater control over design elements (Issue ID: PSDNET-1754).
• AI Format Layer Handling: Improved support for Adobe Illustrator (AI) files by adding handling for XObject Groups and content streams operators. This enhancement ensures more accurate rendering and manipulation of AI files within the .NET environment (Issue ID: PSDNET-1836, PSDNET-2091).

Bug Fixes

• Improved AI File Rendering: Addressed issues where AI files rendered differently compared to Adobe Illustrator, ensuring consistent output (Issue ID: PSDNET-2015).
• Smart Object Relinking: Resolved an issue where relinking a smart object didn't apply to all instances within a PSD file, ensuring that changes propagate correctly across all smart objects (Issue ID: PSDNET-2093).

Public API Changes

• Added: The WarpSettings property for both TextLayer and SmartObjectLayer classes, enhancing the capability to apply and manipulate warp transformations programmatically.

Usage Examples for v.24.8.0

• AI Format Handle layers in content streams operators

  string sourceFile = Path.Combine(baseFolder, "Layers-NoPen.ai");
    string outputFile = Path.Combine(outputFolder, "Layers-NoPen.output.png");
  
    using (AiImage image = (AiImage)Image.Load(sourceFile))
    {
        image.Save(outputFile, new PngOptions());
    }
  
    //// Curves from layer named "Pen" should be hidden

You can execute the below code snippet to see how Aspose.PSD API works in your own development environment or check the GitHub Repository for other common usage scenarios.

// Implement correct Crop method for PSD files.
using (RasterImage image = Image.Load(dir + "template.psd") as RasterImage)
{
    image.Crop(new Rectangle(10, 30, 100, 100));
    image.Save(dir + "output.png", new PngOptions() { ColorType = PngColorType.TruecolorWithAlpha });
}

Draw Rectangles in a PSD Image

// Create an instance of Image
using (Image image = new PsdImage(100, 100))
{
    Graphics graphic = new Graphics(image);
    graphic.Clear(Color.Yellow);
    // Draw a rectangle with Pen tool
    graphic.DrawRectangle(new Pen(Color.Red), new Rectangle(30, 10, 40, 80));
    // Draw another rectangle with Solid Brush in Blue color
    graphic.DrawRectangle(new Pen(new SolidBrush(Color.Blue)), new Rectangle(10, 30, 80, 40));
}
