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
