    Hello!

    Does anybody know a way to process a psd file (via actionscript in photoshop, some software or code in any language)?

    It would be awesome to extract info about position, size, name of layers in psd file and order in which they are stored.
    But I am kind of stuck with the task and don't know what to do.

    Help)) :D

    the position and size of the layer is trivial: 0,0 and full size of image. Layers never cover only sub areas. You might have a mask that restricts it but the layer is still full image size.

    Well, if you select a layer - then a "frame" for image piece on that layer can be seen. It is possible that I refer to layers incorrectly (and the thing I need is called in some other way).

    Hi,

    were you able to figure this out? I would like to extract layer data and ideally be able to place this back into the IPTC metadata of an asset.
    At the least, be able to extract this layer information into a text file of some sort.

    Help please
