Multilayerd Photoshop files

Post by sprsquish »

Hi,

I need to resize some very large photoshop files while maintaining all layers. I've tried just using

Code: Select all

convert -resize {file}.psd {new_file}.psd
but it renders a corrupt PSD file.

I've been looking around and it may be that I'm not looking in the right place or that I'm just too tired to think, but I haven't been able to find out what's going on. My thought is that it has something to do with -define, but I can't find any information on what options it will take.

Any and all help would be very greatly appreciated.

Photoshop has been a problematic image format since its proprietary . We were in contact with Adobe to get the image specification to help improve support within ImageMagick but they never got back to us as they had promised.

Hi, any news about multilayerd PSD files, i did a simple test,
convert 05S98-TONI-421-SMALL.psd ut.psd

read PSD file, and save as PSD file, and that ends up with a corrupt file.
