SmartObjectLayer.Contents

SmartObjectLayer.Contents property

Gets or sets the smart object layer contents. The embedded smart object contents is the embedded raw image file: Data and its properties. The linked smart object contents is the raw content of the linked image file if it is available and its properties: LiFeDataSource. We do not support loading from the Adobe� Photoshop� �� Graphics Library when IsLibraryLink is true. For regular link files, at first, we use RelativePath to look for the file relatively to the source image path SourceImagePath, if it is not available we look at FullPath, if not then we look for the link file in the same directory where our image is: SourceImagePath.

public byte[] Contents { get; set; }

Property Value

The byte[] smart object layer contents.

Exceptions

exception	condition
NotSupportedException	Cannot get contents from Adobe� Photoshop� �� library.

Examples

The following code demonstrates the support of Embedded Smart objects.

[C#]

void AssertAreEqual(object actual, object expected)
{
    if (!object.Equals(actual, expected))
    {
        throw new FormatException(string.Format("Actual value {0} are not equal to expected {1}.", actual, expected));
    }
}

// This example demonstrates how to change the smart object layer in the PSD file and export / update smart object original embedded contents.
