PsdComposer

New in V3.1

Allows you to edit PSD files (hide/show layers, change text layer contents, apply certain effects), and render them to jpeg, gif, or png dynamically. Works as an IVirtualImageProvider, so you can post-process the composed result with any of the other plugins or commands.

Great for

  • Dynamically generating clickable maps based on search results
  • Generating customized product simulations where users can change multiple product variables independently, or enter text for engraving.

High performance - under 400ms for test psds with 40+ layers.

More documentation coming soon - in the meantime, please contact support@imageresizing.net with questions

Installation

Either run Install-Package ImageResizer.Plugins.PsdComposer in the NuGet package manager, or:

  1. Add ImageResizer.Plugins.PsdComposer.dll to your project
  2. Add <add name="PsdComposer" /> inside <resizer><plugins></plugins></resizer> in Web.config.

Usage

Due to the complexity of the URL syntax, it's best to use the PsdCommandBuilder class to construct your URLs.

You can hide & show layers, change layer colors, and change text layer contents through PsdCommandBuilder.

If the URLs generated by PsdCommandBuilder get too long, you can use a Pipeline.Rewrite handler to read URLs from a database based off a querystring key, and eliminate the issue.

If this is over your head, email support@imageresizing.net and I can help you. 1 hour of my time ($95) is likely enough time to write the relevant code required for your PSD editing and composing needs.
