SmartObjectLayer.LoadContents

SmartObjectLayer.LoadContents method

Gets the embedded or linked image contents of the smart object layer.

public Image LoadContents(LoadOptions options)
ParameterTypeDescription
optionsLoadOptionsThe options.

Return Value

The loaded Image smart object instance.

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.
