Hello all,

I'm using Magick++ to extract the layers from .psd and convert them to individual .tga's. So far I've been able to do so, but the effects applied to the layers in the .psd are gone when the .tga's are produced. Is there something in the API that will allow me to generate these files with the effects intact?

Thanks so much

Hello everyone,
I am also facing the same issue.
I am able to convert an psd file's layers to png image using the convert command but the effects which are in the psd file is lost.
Is there any solution to this problem? so that when i convert the psd layers to png the effects are also applied to the generated image.

Psd layer 0 should contain all the layers in the correct order; try:

Hey Bonzo,

thanks for your reply.
But what i want is to extract each image/layer in the psd file as different png files along with its effects.
i.e. if there are 10 layers in the psd file i need 10 different png file which i am getting but the produced image doesnot contains the effects like outer glow,color-overlay,dropshadow e.t.c.
How can i generate the png file which contain all these effects.
the command i am using is
convert myimage.psd psd-layer-%d.png

I don't believe that IM recognizes special layers such as effects layers or other non-image layers. But I will defer to the IM developers if I am wrong.
