psd-tools3 1.9.2

Description:

psdtools3 1.9.2

psd-tools3 is a package for reading Adobe Photoshop PSD files
as described in specification to Python data structures.
This is a fork of psd-tools that adds a couple of enhancements to the
original version.




Installation
pip install psd-tools3
Pillow should be installed if you want work with PSD image and layer data:
export images to PNG, process them. PIL library should also work.
pip install Pillow

Note
In order to extract images from 32bit PSD files PIL/Pillow must be built
with LITTLECMS or LITTLECMS2 support.

psd-tools3 also has a rudimentary support for Pymaging.
Pymaging installation instructions are available in pymaging docs.


Command line
The current tool supports PNG/JPEG export:
psd-tools convert <psd_filename> <out_filename> [options]
psd-tools export_layer <psd_filename> <layer_index> <out_filename> [options]
psd-tools debug <filename> [options]
psd-tools -h | --help
psd-tools --version


API Usage
Load an image:
>>> from psd_tools import PSDImage
>>> psd = PSDImage.load('my_image.psd')
Print the layer structure:
>>> psd.print_tree()
Read image header:
>>> psd.header
PsdHeader(number_of_channels=3, height=200, width=100, depth=8, color_mode=RGB)
Access its layers:
>>> psd.layers
[<group: 'Group 2', layer_count=1, mask=None, visible=1>,
<group: 'Group 1', layer_count=1, mask=None, visible=1>,
<pixel: 'Background', size=100x200, x=0, y=0, mask=None, visible=1>]

>>> list(psd.descendants())
[<group: 'Group 2', layer_count=1, mask=None, visible=1>,
<shape: 'Shape 2', size=43x62, x=40, y=72, mask=None, visible=1)>,
<group: 'Group 1', layer_count=1, mask=None, visible=1>,
...
]
Work with a layer group:
>>> group2 = psd.layers[0]
>>> group2.name
Group 2

>>> group2.visible
True

>>> group2.opacity
255

>>> group2.blend_mode == 'normal'
True

>>> group2.layers
[<shape: 'Shape 2', size=43x62, x=40, y=72, mask=None, visible=1)>]
Work with a layer:
>>> layer = group2.layers[0]
>>> layer.name
Shape 2

>>> layer.kind
type

>>> layer.bbox
BBox(x1=40, y1=72, x2=83, y2=134)

>>> layer.bbox.width, layer.bbox.height
(43, 62)

>>> layer.visible, layer.opacity, layer.blend_mode
(True, 255, 'normal')

>>> layer.text
'Text inside a text box'

>>> layer.as_PIL()
<PIL.Image.Image image mode=RGBA size=43x62 at ...>

>>> mask = layer.mask
>>> mask.bbox
BBox(x1=40, y1=72, x2=83, y2=134)

>>> mask.as_PIL()
<PIL.Image.Image image mode=L size=43x62 at ...>

>>> layer.clip_layers
[<shape: 'Clipped', size=43x62, x=40, y=72, mask=None, visible=1)>, ...]

>>> layer.effects
[<GradientOverlay>]
Export a single layer:
>>> layer_image = layer.as_PIL()
>>> layer_image.save('layer.png')
Export the merged image:
>>> merged_image = psd.as_PIL()
>>> merged_image.save('my_image.png')
The same using Pymaging:
>>> merged_image = psd.as_pymaging()
>>> merged_image.save_to_path('my_image.png')
>>> layer_image = layer.as_pymaging()
>>> layer_image.save_to_path('layer.png')
Export a thumbnail in PIL Image:
>>> thumbnail_image = psd.thumbnail()
Export layer group (experimental):
>>> group_image = group2.as_PIL()
>>> group_image.save('group.png')


Design overview
The process of handling a PSD file is split into 3 stages:

“Reading”: the file is read and parsed to low-level data
structures that closely match the specification. No user-accessible
images are constructed; image resources blocks and additional layer
information are extracted but not parsed (they remain just keys
with a binary data). The goal is to extract all information
from a PSD file.
“Decoding”: image resource blocks and additional layer
information blocks are parsed to a more detailed data structures
(that are still based on a specification). There are a lot of PSD
data types and the library currently doesn’t handle them all, but
it should be easy to add the parsing code for the missing PSD data
structures if needed.

After (1) and (2) we have an in-memory data structure that closely
resembles PSD file; it should be fairly complete but very low-level
and not easy to use. So there is a third stage:

“User-facing API”: PSD image is converted to an user-friendly object
that supports layer groups, exporting data as PIL.Image or
pymaging.Image, etc.

Stage separation also means user-facing API may be opinionated:
if somebody doesn’t like it then it should possible to build an
another API based on lower-level decoded PSD file.
psd-tools3 tries not to throw away information from the original
PSD file; even if the library can’t parse some info, this info
will be likely available somewhere as raw bytes (open a bug if this is
not the case). This should make it possible to modify and write PSD
files (currently not implemented; contributions are welcome).


Features
Supported:

reading of RGB, RGBA, CMYK, CMYKA and Grayscale images;
8bit, 16bit and 32bit channels;
all PSD compression methods are supported (not only the most
common RAW and RLE);
image ICC profile is taken into account;
many image resource types and tagged block types are decoded;
layer effects information is decoded;
Descriptor structures are decoded;
there is an optional Cython extension to make the parsing fast;
very basic & experimental layer merging;
support both PSD and PSB file formats;
EngineData structure is decoded;
EXIF data is taken into account.

Not implemented:

reading of Duotone, LAB, etc. images;
some image resource types and tagged blocks are not decoded
(they are attached to the result as raw bytes);
some of the raw Descriptor values are not decoded;
this library can’t reliably blend layers together: it is possible to export
a single layer and to export a final image, but rendering of
e.g. layer group may produce incorrect results;
the writing of PSD images is not implemented;
Pymaging support is limited: it only supports 8bit RGB/RGBA
images, ICC profiles are not applied, layer merging doesn’t work, etc.

If you need some of unimplemented features then please file an issue
or implement it yourself (pull requests are welcome in this case).


Contributing
Development happens at github: source code,
bug tracker.
Feel free to submit ideas, bugs or pull requests.
In case of bugs it would be helpful to provide a small PSD file
demonstrating the issue; this file may be added to a test suite.
In order to run tests, make sure PIL/Pillow is built with LittleCMS
or LittleCMS2 support, install tox and type:
tox
Install Sphinx to generate documents:
pip install sphinx sphinx_rtd_theme
Once installed, use Makefile:
make -C docs html
from the source checkout.
