psdExport([alphaChannelIdx=int], [bytesPerChannel=int], [emptyLayerSet=boolean], [format=string], [layerName=string], [layerSetName=string], [outFileName=string], [preMultiplyAlpha=boolean], [psdFileName=string])

Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.

psdExport is NOT undoable, queryable, and NOT editable.

Flags

Long name (short name)	[argument types]	Properties
format(format)	string
Output file format. Any of these keyword: "iff", "sgi", "pic", "tif", "als", "gif", "rla", "jpg" Default is iff. In query mode, this flag needs a value.
bytesPerChannel(bpc)	int
Output file depth. Any of these keyword: 0 for choosing depth based on input 1 for 8 bits per channel 2 for 16 bits per channel Default is 0. In query mode, this flag needs a value.
outFileName(ofn)	string
Name(with path) of the output file. In query mode, this flag needs a value.
psdFileName(ifn)	string
Name(with path) of the input Photoshop file. In query mode, this flag needs a value.
layerSetName(lsn)	string
Name of the layer set to output, if not supplied, writes out the Composite image. In query mode, this flag needs a value.
layerName(lyn)	string
Name of the layer to output. In query mode, this flag needs a value.
alphaChannelIdx(aci)	int
Index of the alpha channel to output, if not supplied, writes out the default alpha channel. The index is zero based. This is useful to write out specific alpha channels available as "Additional Alpha Channels" of Photoshop. In query mode, this flag needs a value.
preMultiplyAlpha(pma)	boolean
Option to multiply RGB colors with alpha values. If (r,g,b,a) is the value of pixel, it will be changed to (r*a, g*a, b*a, a) when this flag is used. In query mode, this flag needs a value.
emptyLayerSet(els)	boolean
Option to check if the given layer set is empty or not. This should be used in query mode and input file name and layer set names should be specified. In query mode, this flag needs a value.

Flag can appear in Create mode of command	Flag can appear in Edit mode of command
Flag can appear in Query mode of command	Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
