PsDotNet - Photoshop C# library

[davidwright]

Greetings, I wanted to let the community about a C# library that I have been working on that might be useful and of interest.

PsDotNet is a strongly typed, intuitive, C# library to assist in automating operations in Adobe Photoshop. It was created out of a need to use other C# libraries and external data to create art content.

Its currently in Beta and I would love to get more eyes on it to see where it might be improved. To get an idea of its capabilities feel free to take a look at the http://psdotnet.com/getting-started/ documentation for some basic code snippets.

You can download the latest build from http://psdotnet.com.

Look forward to seeing what you think.
Cheers!

This looks very interesting. I will check it in next days.
Is this Windows only? Because if you write classic JSX, it works on both Mac and Win.

[davidwright]

I agree JSX is still the better option cross platform. This was developed for specific use cases which happened to be only on Windows and as such has only been used\tested there. I agree it's niche, but might be useful for developers like myself.
Cheers

C# is becoming more crossplatform. You can have Visual Studio on Mac. There is also mono. I think microsoft is preparing more cross platform things.

Hey mid85549,
First off thanks for checking it out!

Could you tell me which version of Photoshop you are using?

I created a image with 60 or so layers to test out your reported document.GetAllLayers() slowness, and it returned the list in 0.1800872 ms. How complex is the .psd you had this slowness on? Is it on all documents that you try?

If I understand you correctly, you are reporting that when you call the document.Close() method it throws and exception? Can you tell me the exception that it throws and any info contained within? This will help me track down what might be causing it.

Feel free to post code snippets that are causing you issues.

Thanks!
