Add Stroke Layer Color in Aspose.PSD for Java

Introduction

Unlock the potential of your Java application’s graphic design with Aspose.PSD. In this tutorial, we’ll delve into the fascinating world of adding stroke layer color using Aspose.PSD for Java. Enhance your graphics with strokes that pop, creating visually appealing designs effortlessly.

Prerequisites

Before embarking on this creative journey, ensure you have the following prerequisites in place:

• Aspose.PSD Library: Download and set up the Aspose.PSD library by following the documentation.

• Java Development Kit (JDK): Make sure you have Java installed on your system.

• Integrated Development Environment (IDE): Choose an IDE of your preference; Eclipse or IntelliJ are popular choices.

Import Packages

Let’s start by importing the necessary packages to make the Aspose.PSD magic happen.

import com.aspose.psd.Color;
import com.aspose.psd.Image;


import com.aspose.psd.fileformats.psd.PsdImage;
import com.aspose.psd.fileformats.psd.layers.BlendMode;
import com.aspose.psd.fileformats.psd.layers.fillsettings.ColorFillSettings;
import com.aspose.psd.fileformats.psd.layers.fillsettings.FillType;
import com.aspose.psd.fileformats.psd.layers.layereffects.StrokeEffect;
import com.aspose.psd.imageloadoptions.PsdLoadOptions;

Step 1: Set Up Your Project

Begin by creating a new Java project in your preferred IDE. Ensure that the Aspose.PSD library is added to your project.

Step 2: Load PSD File

Load the PSD file using Aspose.PSD, enabling the loading of effects resources.

String dataDir = "Your Document Directory";

String sourceFileName = dataDir + "Stroke.psd";
String exportPath = dataDir + "StrokeGradientChanged.psd";

PsdLoadOptions loadOptions = new PsdLoadOptions();
loadOptions.setLoadEffectsResource(true);

PsdImage im = (PsdImage)Image.load(sourceFileName, loadOptions);

Step 3: Access Stroke Layer

Access the stroke effect layer within the PSD file.

StrokeEffect colorStroke = (StrokeEffect)im.getLayers()[1].getBlendingOptions().getEffects()[0];

Step 4: Validate Stroke Properties

Ensure the stroke properties are as expected.

Assert.areEqual(BlendMode.Normal, colorStroke.getBlendMode());
Assert.areEqual(255, colorStroke.getOpacity());
Assert.areEqual(true, colorStroke.isVisible());

Step 5: Set Color and Opacity

Modify the color and opacity of the stroke layer.

ColorFillSettings fillSettings = (ColorFillSettings)colorStroke.getFillSettings();
fillSettings.setColor(Color.getYellow());

colorStroke.setOpacity((byte)127);

Step 6: Save the Modified PSD

Save the modified PSD file with the newly added stroke layer color.

im.save(exportPath);

Conclusion

Congratulations! You’ve successfully added stroke layer color to your PSD file using Aspose.PSD for Java. Experiment with different colors and settings to bring your graphic designs to life.
