Question

I want to retrieve all layers from a PSD file and get their name, X and Y position.

Is there a C# Lib that can do that?

I’ve tried this lib from CodeProject, but I always get TargetInvokeException. My PSD files are from Photoshop CS5…

Exploring Paint.NET as Robin suggested I could get to this code:

var ps = new PsdFile();
ps.Load(file);
var name = ps.Layers[0].Name;
var xy = ps.Layers[0].Location;

I needed to include these references:

• PhotoShop.dll
• PaintDotNet.Core.dll

You could use the PSD-plugin for Paint.NET to do it.

Should be fairly easy to extract the parser library from there.
