psd_tools¶

See Usage for examples.

PSDImage¶

class psd_tools.PSDImage(data)[source]¶

Photoshop PSD/PSB file object.

The low-level data structure is accessible at PSDImage._record.

Example:

from psd_tools import PSDImage

psd = PSDImage.open('example.psd')
image = psd.compose()

for layer in psd:
    layer_image = layer.compose()

property bbox¶

Minimal bounding box that contains all the visible layers.

Use viewbox to get viewport bounding box. When the psd is empty, bbox is equal to the canvas bounding box.

Returns:: (left, top, right, bottom) tuple.

property bottom¶

Bottom coordinate.

Returns:: int

property channels¶

Number of color channels.

Returns:: int

property color_mode¶

Document color mode, such as ‘RGB’ or ‘GRAYSCALE’. See ColorMode.

Returns:: ColorMode

property compatibility_mode¶

Set the compositing and layer organization compatibility mode. Writable.

Returns:: CompatibilityMode

compose(force=False, bbox=None, layer_filter=None)[source]¶

Deprecated, use composite().

Compose the PSD image.

Parameters:: bbox – Viewport tuple (left, top, right, bottom).
Returns:: PIL.Image, or None if there is no pixel.

composite(viewport=None, force=False, color=1.0, alpha=0.0, layer_filter=None, ignore_preview=False, apply_icc=False)[source]¶

Composite the PSD image.

Parameters:

viewport – Viewport bounding box specified by (x1, y1, x2, y2) tuple. Default is the viewbox of the PSD.
ignore_preview – Boolean flag to whether skip compositing when a pre-composited preview is available.
force – Boolean flag to force vector drawing.
color – Backdrop color specified by scalar or tuple of scalar. The color value should be in [0.0, 1.0]. For example, (1., 0., 0.) specifies red in RGB color mode.
alpha – Backdrop alpha in [0.0, 1.0].
layer_filter – Callable that takes a layer as argument and returns whether if the layer is composited. Default is is_visible().

Returns:

PIL.Image.

property depth¶

Pixel depth bits.

Returns:: int

descendants(include_clip=True)¶

Return a generator to iterate over all descendant layers.

Example:

# Iterate over all layers
for layer in psd.descendants():
    print(layer)

# Iterate over all layers in reverse order
for layer in reversed(list(psd.descendants())):
    print(layer)

Parameters:: include_clip – include clipping layers.

classmethod frompil(image, compression=Compression.RLE)[source]¶

Create a new PSD document from PIL Image.

Parameters:

image – PIL Image object.
compression – ImageData compression option. See Compression.

Returns:

A PSDImage object.

has_preview()[source]¶: Returns if the document has real merged data. When True, topil() returns pre-composed data.

has_thumbnail()[source]¶: True if the PSDImage has a thumbnail resource.

property height¶

Document height.

Returns:: int

property image_resources¶

Document image resources. ImageResources is a dict-like structure that keeps various document settings.

See psd_tools.constants.Resource for available keys.

Returns:: ImageResources

Example:

from psd_tools.constants import Resource
version_info = psd.image_resources.get_data(Resource.VERSION_INFO)
slices = psd.image_resources.get_data(Resource.SLICES)

Image resources contain an ICC profile. The following shows how to export a PNG file with embedded ICC profile:

from psd_tools.constants import Resource
icc_profile = psd.image_resources.get_data(Resource.ICC_PROFILE)
image = psd.compose(apply_icc=False)
image.save('output.png', icc_profile=icc_profile)

is_group()[source]¶

Return True if the layer is a group.

Returns:: bool

is_visible()[source]¶

Returns visibility of the element.

Returns:: bool

property kind¶

Kind.

Returns:: ‘psdimage’

property left¶

Left coordinate.

Returns:: 0

property name¶

Element name.

Returns:: ‘Root’

classmethod new(mode, size, color=0, depth=8, **kwargs)[source]¶

Create a new PSD document.

Parameters:

mode – The color mode to use for the new image.
size – A tuple containing (width, height) in pixels.
color – What color to use for the image. Default is black.

Returns:

A PSDImage object.

numpy(channel=None)[source]¶

Get NumPy array of the layer.

Parameters:: channel – Which channel to return, can be ‘color’, ‘shape’, ‘alpha’, or ‘mask’. Default is ‘color+alpha’.
Returns:: numpy.ndarray

property offset¶

(left, top) tuple.

Returns:: tuple

classmethod open(fp, **kwargs)[source]¶

Open a PSD document.

Parameters:

fp – filename or file-like object.
encoding – charset encoding of the pascal string within the file, default ‘macroman’. Some psd files need explicit encoding option.

Returns:

A PSDImage object.

property parent¶: Parent of this layer.

property right¶

Right coordinate.

Returns:: int

save(fp, mode='wb', **kwargs)[source]¶

Save the PSD file.

Parameters:

fp – filename or file-like object.
encoding – charset encoding of the pascal string within the file, default ‘macroman’.
mode – file open mode, default ‘wb’.

property size¶

(width, height) tuple.

Returns:: tuple

property tagged_blocks¶

Document tagged blocks that is a dict-like container of settings.

See psd_tools.constants.Tag for available keys.

Returns:: TaggedBlocks or None.

Example:

from psd_tools.constants import Tag
patterns = psd.tagged_blocks.get_data(Tag.PATTERNS1)

thumbnail()[source]¶: Returns a thumbnail image in PIL.Image. When the file does not contain an embedded thumbnail image, returns None.

property top¶

Top coordinate.

Returns:: 0

topil(channel=None, apply_icc=False)[source]¶

Get PIL Image.

Parameters:

channel – Which channel to return; e.g., 0 for ‘R’ channel in RGB image. See ChannelID. When None, the method returns all the channels supported by PIL modes.
apply_icc – Whether to apply ICC profile conversion to sRGB.

Returns:

PIL.Image, or None if the composed image is not available.

property version¶

Document version. PSD file is 1, and PSB file is 2.

Returns:: int

property viewbox¶

Return bounding box of the viewport.

Returns:: (left, top, right, bottom) tuple.

property visible¶

Visibility.

Returns:: True

property width¶

Document width.

Returns:: int

compose¶

psd_tools.compose(layers, force=False, bbox=None, layer_filter=None, context=None, color=None)[source]¶

Compose layers to a single PIL.Image. If the layers do not have visible pixels, the function returns None.

Example:

image = compose([layer1, layer2])

In order to skip some layers, pass layer_filter function which should take layer as an argument and return True to keep the layer or return False to skip:

image = compose(
    layers,
    layer_filter=lambda x: x.is_visible() and x.kind == 'type'
)

By default, visible layers are composed.

Note

This function is experimental and does not guarantee Photoshop-quality rendering.

Currently the following are ignored:

Adjustments layers

Layer effects

Blending modes: dissolve and darker/lighter color becomes normal

Shape drawing is inaccurate if the PSD file is not saved with maximum compatibility.

Some of the blending modes do not reproduce photoshop blending.

Parameters:

layers – a layer, or an iterable of layers.
bbox – (left, top, bottom, right) tuple that specifies a region to compose. By default, all the visible area is composed. The origin is at the top-left corner of the PSD document.
context – PIL.Image object for the backdrop rendering context. Must be used with the correct bbox size.
layer_filter – a callable that takes a layer and returns bool.
color – background color in int or tuple.
kwargs – arguments passed to underling topil() call.

Returns:

PIL.Image or None.
