Here comes new release of Aspose.PSD for .NET 19.9, which has been enriched with new features. This is a relatively new product and we tend to include new features regularly in almost every release. Like in this release, we have introduced support for working with Layer Properties for different layers in a PSD file. In following section, I will be giving you an overview of new features introduced in API.
Create Layer Group
In PSD files, you need to work with different layers. We have introduced the feature of creating layers group by adding layers in it and It helps to organize similar or related layers. For this purpose, a new method AddLayerGroup has been added in a** PsdImage** class to add the layer group**.**
The following code snippet shows how you can create layer Group in a PSD file.
Rename Layer
This time we have enhanced the capability of Aspose.PSD to allow renaming of layers in PSD files. This is a good utility as you can set a custom layer name as per your own understanding and future reference. For this purpose, a new property DisplayNamehas been added in Layer class to display a layer name properly. It has been observed that when Photoshop saves a layer name using the Name property, then Korean characters are stored as byte 63’?’ in ASCII. So, if you want to display a layer name properly then use the DisplayName property because the Name property does not support Korean characters.
The following code snippet shows you how to rename layer in a PSD file.

Now, using Aspose.PSD for .NET, you can get and update the text properties of different portions of text available in PSD text layer.
