Possible to convert a .psd with Blending Options ?

Post by zappzerapp »

Hi community,

last year i wanted to process layers from a psd, where i was helped here in the forum (thanks fmw42 :wink: )
http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-se ... hp?t=34546

Unfortunately, a problem case was added here:
We now also have to process PSDs with blending options but unfortunately they go absolutely wrong with ImageMagick.

When I do the following, the options are simply ignored:

Code: Select all

convert input.psd output_%d.tif
The output_1.tif looks like this:
Image

But correctly it should look like this
Image

Resource:

Someone can help me out?

Thanks,
Robin

Version: ImageMagick 6.9.10-27

I cannot seem to get your file to download. How big is it? Is your file accessible for downloading?

Finally got your image. Imagemagick is not fully compatible with PSD files. It has limited capabilities and cannot deal with Advanced Blending. The only way I know to get the result you want is to change the layer "Schatten" properties so that you swap the blending opacity to 20% and the fill opacity to 100%. Then I get your desired results from

Code: Select all

convert input.psd +adjoin img_%d.tif

Hi Fred,

I was already worried about that.
I think we'll have to revise the PSDs before we can process them with ImageMagick.

Thanks for your answer!
