Core Drawing Features

Now, let’s break down the provided code snippet to understand the core drawing features of Aspose.PSD for .NET.

Step 1: Load an Image

Load an existing PSD image into your application using the following code:

// The path to the documents directory.
string dataDir = "Your Document Directory";
string loadpath = dataDir + "sample.psd";

// Create an instance of Image
using (PsdImage image = new PsdImage(loadpath))
{
    // Your code here...
}

Step 2: Manipulate Pixels

Access and modify the pixels of the loaded image. In this example, we’re loading and modifying a gradient of pixels:

// load pixels
var pixels = image.LoadArgb32Pixels(new Rectangle(0, 0, 100, 10));

for (int i = 0; i < pixels.Length; i++)
{
    // specify pixel color value (gradient in this case).
    pixels[i] = i;
}

// save modified pixels.
image.SaveArgb32Pixels(new Rectangle(0, 0, 100, 10), pixels);

Step 3: Export Image

Save the modified image to a BMP file format:

// export image to bmp file format.
image.Save(outpath, new BmpOptions());
