Aspose.PSD for .NET: Make sure you have the library installed. You can download it from the Aspose.PSD for .NET documentation .
Development Environment: Set up your .NET development environment, including Visual Studio or any preferred IDE.

Import Namespaces

Start by importing the necessary namespaces to your project:

using Aspose.PSD.FileFormats.Png;
using Aspose.PSD.ImageOptions;

Step 1: Set Up Your Project

Create a new .NET project or open an existing one in your preferred IDE.

Step 2: Include Aspose.PSD Library

}

Step 4: Crop the PSD File

Implement the correct Crop method for PSD files. Specify the cropping parameters using a Rectangle object:

image.Crop(new Rectangle(10, 30, 100, 100));

Adjust the values in the Rectangle constructor according to your cropping requirements.

Step 5: Save the Cropped Image

Save the cropped image in both PSD and PNG formats:

string exportPathPsd = dataDir + "CropTest.psd";
string exportPathPng = dataDir + "CropTest.png";
image.Save(exportPathPsd, new PsdOptions());
image.Save(exportPathPng, new PngOptions() { ColorType = PngColorType.TruecolorWithAlpha });
