: Develop a tool for inserting text/image in a photoshop file I'm trying to develop a simple tool for translators who don't have Photoshop but I can't find any library that supports layers.

I'm trying to develop a simple tool for translators who don't have Photoshop but I can't find any library that supports layers.

I need to open the PSD file, translate the text layer and save it as it was. Unfortunately, there is no layer support for the available libraries. So I'm asking for a workaround.

Let's say I get an image from our graphics team that's just a layered background. The translator opens this image with my tool and it renders the text over the image and then save the rendered text as a separate image. I would like to automate the loading process for our graphics team.

Is there an easy way to script (or automate somehow) the following?:


open the multi-layer image with e.g. button background (without text)
look for a file (in the same directory) with a certain prefix (like button_en.psd)
open this prefixed file (with the translated text) and put it over the background image as a top layer


Thanks for the tips
