New-Layer-in-PSD-CSharp_AddLayerFromPNG.cs

// This code example demonstrates how to create new layer from a PNG image in PSD image file.
string outputFilePath = @"C:\Files\PSD\PsdResult.psd";

// Create a new PSD image
var image = new PsdImage(200, 200);

// Load a PNG image
string filePath = @"C:\Files\PSD\aspose_logo.png";
var stream = new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Open);

Layer layer = null;
try
{
    // Add layer to PSD
    layer = new Layer(stream);
    image.AddLayer(layer);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
    if (layer != null)
    {
        layer.Dispose();
    }
    throw e;
}

// Save PSD
image.Save(outputFilePath);

// This code example demonstrates how to create new layers in PSD image file.
string sourceFileName = @"C:\Files\PSD\OneLayer.psd";
string exportPath = @"C:\Files\PSD\OneLayerEdited.psd";

// Load an existing PSD
var im = (PsdImage)Image.Load(sourceFileName);

// Preparing two int arrays

// Define rectangles

}

// Add Layer 1
