edit psd file programmaticaly without open editor - fabricia77 - 12-05-2018

Is there a way in gimp or other that give me the possibility to edit a PSD file without using and graphic editor and without human interaction ?


For example:

I have a psd file. I want to be able to do this only with a script:
  • open psd file

  • find a specific layer

  • replace this layer with a new layer. The new layer is obtained from a specific image

  • save the new psd documents

  • export the result to pdf file

Yes, but:
  • What do you mean by "find a specific layer"? what is the criterion?
  • PSD support in Gimp is lacking, so Gimp may no be able to support everything in the PSD (especially if you intent to replace text layers)
