Convert CGM file to PSD via C#
Export CGM to PSD within .NET applications without using Adobe® Acrobat Reader or any other third party applications
With Aspose.Total for .NET, the process of exporting CGM files to PSD images within any .NET application is simple and efficient. This can be achieved in just two straightforward steps, utilizing Aspose.PDF for .NET and Aspose.Imaging for .NET Image Processing API.
To begin, using Aspose.PDF for .NET, you can export CGM files to JPEG format. Aspose.PDF for .NET provides a powerful API for working with PDF documents and offers comprehensive functionality for seamless CGM to JPEG conversion.
Once you have the JPEG image, the next step involves leveraging Aspose.Imaging for .NET. This Image Processing API allows you to convert the JPEG image to PSD format, providing excellent flexibility and control over the conversion process.
By following this two-step approach using Aspose.Total for .NET, you can effortlessly convert CGM files to PSD images within your .NET applications. Aspose.Total for .NET is a comprehensive suite of libraries that handle various file formats, including PDF, JPEG, and PSD.
Convert CGM file to PSD via .NET
- Open CGM file using Document class
- Initialize JpegDevice class object and render CGM to JPEG by using Process method
- Load JPEG file by using Image class
- Save the document to PSD format using Save method
Conversion Requirements
Install from command line as nuget install Aspose.Total or install directly from Package Manager Console of Visual Studio.
Two Aspose.Total for .NET child APIs, Aspose.PDF for .NET and Aspose.Imaging for .NET will be used.
Alternatively, get the offline MSI installer or DLLs in a ZIP file from downloads .
Convert CGM File to PSD in a Single File via C#
Using the API, you can also convert CGM file to PSD to a single image file. In order to convert all pages, you can first render your CGM document to one TIFF file and after that you can export TIFF file to PSD. You can open the input file using Document class and create Resolution, TiffSettings, & TIFF device objects. You can get a single TIFF image using Process method of TiffDevice class. Finally, you can load TIFF file using Image class and save it to PSD format using Save method.
Convert CGM to PSD With Watermark via C#
Using the API, you can also convert CGM file to PSD with watermark in your PSD document. In order to add a watermark, you can first render your CGM document to JPEG and add a watermark in it. To demonstrate the operation, you can load your converted JPEG image, add transformations using an object of Matrix class and draw a string as the watermark on the image surface using the Graphics class’ DrawString method. After adding the watermark in it, you can save the JPEG as PSD format. Below is a code example that demonstrates how to add a diagonal watermark to your document.
Convert & Rotate CGM File to PSD via C#
Using the API, you can also rotate the output PSD image as per your needs. The Image.RotateFlip method can be used to rotate the image by 90/180/270-degrees and flip the image horizontally or vertically. You can specify the type of rotation and flip to apply to the image. In order to rotate and flip the image you can load the converted JPEG image using the factory method exposed by Image class and call the Image.RotateFlip method while specifying the appropriate RotateFlipType .
Transforming CGM File to PSD Programmatically : Use Cases
CGM (Computer Graphics Metafile) files are used to store vector graphics information, making them ideal for creating static graphics and illustrations. However, when working with dynamic data, raster image editors like Photoshop become essential for visualizing and editing images.
The conversion of CGM files into PSD formats is necessary to unlock the full potential of your graphic design capabilities. This conversion enables you to:
Use Cases:
- Logo Design: Convert CGM files to create scalable vector logos that can be used across various mediums, including business cards, billboards, and websites.
- Branding and Identity: Use PSD to visualize brand guidelines, create consistent visual identities, and maintain brand consistency across all marketing materials.
- Illustrations and Artwork: Convert CGM files to create intricate illustrations, edit vector artwork, and refine design concepts.
- Print Design: Use PSD to visualize print designs, optimize layouts, and ensure high-quality image output for various printing applications.
- Graphic Design Assets: Convert CGM files to create editable graphic design assets that can be reused across multiple projects, saving time and effort.
