TimeLine.InitializeFrom

TimeLine.InitializeFrom method

Creates the new instance of TimeLine, initialized from input PsdImage.

public static TimeLine InitializeFrom(PsdImage psdImage)
ParameterTypeDescription
psdImagePsdImageThe psd image.

Return Value

The new instance of TimeLine, initialized from input PsdImage.

Examples

The TimeLine class gives a high-level ability to manipulate the timeline of PsdImage, like changing frame delay or editing layer state on a specific frame.

[C#]

string sourceFile = "image1219.psd";
string outputPsd = "output_image800.psd";

using (PsdImage psdImage = (PsdImage)Image.Load(sourceFile))
{
    TimeLine timeLine = TimeLine.InitializeFrom(psdImage);

    // Change dispose method of frame 1
    timeLine.Frames[0].DisposalMethod = FrameDisposalMethod.DoNotDispose;

    // Change delay of frame 2
    timeLine.Frames[1].Delay = 15;

    // Change opacity of 'Layer 1' on frame 2
    LayerState layerState11 = timeLine.Frames[1].LayerStates[timeLine.LayerIds[1]];
    layerState11.Opacity = 50;

    // move 'Layer 1' to left-bottom corner on frame 3
    LayerState layerState21 = timeLine.Frames[2].LayerStates[timeLine.LayerIds[1]];
    layerState21.PositionOffset = new Point(-50, 230);

    // Adds new frame
    List<Frame> frames = new List<Frame>(timeLine.Frames);
    frames.Add(new Frame(timeLine));
    timeLine.Frames = frames.ToArray();

    // Change blendMode of 'Layer 1' on frame 4
    LayerState layerState31 = timeLine.Frames[3].LayerStates[timeLine.LayerIds[1]];
    layerState31.BlendMode = BlendMode.Dissolve;

    // Apply changes back to PsdImage instance
    timeLine.ApplyTo(psdImage);
    psdImage.Save(outputPsd);
}
