Hello! My case is as follows:

I have a PSD with several layers, some of which are inside groups (probably nested inside other groups). I'd like to export multiple layers of my choice into a single PSD while retaining the information of said layers (name, transparency, alpha masks, etc.)

Is this possible? I couldn't find this anywhere on the forum or on the internet.
I think I got it yesterday after trying multiple times, but now I can't do it anymore it seems. I'm on Windows btw.

Thanks!

Source PSD (test file): https://www.dropbox.com/s/f2kqhijo8hwpp43/test.psd?dl=0

Desired result (PSD file) https://www.dropbox.com/s/36n557he6n0ke ... t.psd?dl=0

NEW ROUND OF TESTS:
(1)

Code: Select all

convert test.psd test2.psd

https://www.dropbox.com/s/k0tyhxqn837xj ... 2.psd?dl=0
Folders and alpha masks are gone. Corruption in some of the layers' colours. All layers are transparency locked.
(2)

Code: Select all

convert test.psd[2] test.psd[3] test.psd[4] test3.psd

https://www.dropbox.com/s/w8n9kvysjz11g ... 3.psd?dl=0
Folders and alpha masks are gone. Only two layers present. Layer 4* (1d) is not there? All layers have become empty and are in gray-scale. All layers are transparency locked. *Apparently, what matters is the order in which you created the layer, not the order in which you placed the layer.

Code: Select all

convert test.psd (-delete 5 -delete 1) test4.psd --> gives error in command line
convert test.psd -delete 5 -delete 1 test4.psd --> no error

https://www.dropbox.com/s/dorztjqpst4n2 ... 4.psd?dl=0
Folders and alpha masks are gone. There are indeed two layers missing so I assume those were the ones deleted. Corruption in some of the layers' colours. All layers are transparency locked.
(4)

Code: Select all

convert test.psd psd:additional-info=all test5.psd --> unable to open image
convert test.psd:additional-info=all test5.psd -> unable to open image
convert test.psd -psd:additional-info=all test5.psd --> unrecognized option
convert test.psd -additional-info=all test5.psd --> unrecognized option
convert test.psd -define psd:additional-info=all test5.psd --> no error

https://www.dropbox.com/s/fzsdscezz7l9e ... 5.psd?dl=0
Same as try (1) but this time layers are NOT transparency locked.
(5)

Code: Select all

convert testB.psd -delete 5 -delete 1 -define psd:additional-info=all testB2.psd

Tried deleting the folders from the source file. There is still corruption of colours.
(6)

Code: Select all

convert testB.psd -delete 5 -delete 1 -define psd:additional-info=all testB3.psd

Having the source file open seems to not have an effect at all.
(7)

Code: Select all

convert testC.psd -delete 5 -delete 1 -define psd:additional-info=all testC2.psd

Tried deleting the folders AND alpha masks from the source file. No corruption. Alpha masks might be to blame then.

I am not sure you can do that with Imagemagick. It has limited PSD features. But see -define psd:additional-info=all|selective at https://imagemagick.org/script/command- ... php#define

Tried it @fmw42 but no dice

Post your input PSD file and your command line and version of Imagemagick and platform.

Done that! (I edited my original post). Is this what you mean, right?

Testing on IM 6.9.10.44 Q16, the following command does not work properly. One of the IM developers will need to look at this.

Code: Select all

convert test.psd -define psd:additional-info=all result.psd
