The file you show is a PNG image and not PSD. I don't see any way to download the PSD file.
Do you want text as characters or text as a binary image.
The former would require OCR. The latter could be done via thresholding.

hey fmw42,
what i wanted is to extract the text from the text layer of the psd file.
you can download the psd file from the below link.
http://mirrorimg.net/im1/m5y.psd
in the provided psd file there are three layers named title,title content,header background.
out of these, 2 layers are text layer.(title,title content)
I want to get the text in the layer(title and title content)
i.e. for title layer - 'your title goes here' as my extracted text.
how can i extract the text from these two layers using imagemagick.

As fmw42 says the text will
just be an image and you can not alter it.
This will save an image of all the layers:
This will select the layers you want:
Code: Select all
convert m5y.psd[2] layer2.png
convert m5y.psd[3] layer3.png
