Aspose.PSD for .NET is an advanced PSD and entry‑level AI file formats manipulation API that works without any Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator dependencies. The API enables developers to create and edit Photoshop files, update layer properties, add watermarks, perform graphics operations, and convert between PSD, PSB, and a variety of raster formats. The API supports importing as a layer and exporting to PNG, JPEG, JPEG2000, GIF, BMP, TIFF, PSD, and PSB, along with exporting to PDF with selectable text. It also partially supports Adobe Photoshop features such as Adjustment Layers, Text Layer rendering and editing, Fill Layers, Layer Effects, and editing of Raster and Vector Masks. Aspose.PSD for .NET supports most popular Photoshop and raster image file formats, enabling developers to automate imaging workflows and create PSD documents programmatically. It provides pixel‑perfect exporting capabilities, supports multiple color modes (RGB, CMYK, LAB, Grayscale with 8/16/32 bits per channel), clipping masks, and runtime rasterization of vector layer masks.
