pymel.core.rendering.psdExport¶

psdExport(*args, **kwargs)¶

Writes the Photoshop file layer set into different formats. The output file depth (bit per channel ) can be different from that of the input. If the input is 16 bpc and output is 8 bpc, there will be data loss. In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Dynamic library stub function

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name		Argument Types	Properties
alphaChannelIdx / aci		int
	Index of the alpha channel to output, if not supplied, writes out the default alpha channel. The index is zero based. This is useful to write out specific alpha channels available as Additional Alpha Channelsof Photoshop.
bytesPerChannel / bpc		int
	Output file depth. Any of these keyword: 0 for choosing depth based on input1 for 8 bits per channel2 for 16 bits per channelDefault is 0.
emptyLayerSet / els		bool
	Option to check if the given layer set is empty or not. This should be used in query mode and input file name and layer set names should be specified.
format / format		unicode
	Output file format. Any of these keyword: iff, sgi, pic, tif, als, gif, rla, jpgDefault is iff.
layerName / lyn		unicode
	Name of the layer to output.
layerSetName / lsn		unicode
	Name of the layer set to output, if not supplied, writes out the Composite image.
outFileName / ofn		unicode
	Name(with path) of the output file.
preMultiplyAlpha / pma		bool
	Option to multiply RGB colors with alpha values. If (r,g,b,a) is the value of pixel, it will be changed to (r*a, g*a, b*a, a) when this flag is used.
psdFileName / ifn		unicode
	Name(with path) of the input Photoshop file. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.psdExport

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# Write the layer set 1 of psd file as 16 bit tif file
pm.psdExport( ifn='/tmp/test.psd', ofn='/tmp/test.set1.tif', lsn='Set 1', format='tif', bpc=2 )
# Query if the layer set "Set 2" is empty.
pm.psdExport( ifn='/tmp/test.psd', lsn='Set 2', q=True, els=True )
