Hello All,

I am new to imagemagick and I need to resize a PSD file with multiple layers while also retaining the layers. I have tried resizing the file using the convert utility using the following command below and while I get the full image in the output it doesn't retain the multiple layers that were included in the input file.


# convert input.psd[0] -verbose -resize 2048x1536 output.psd


Thank you for your help in advance.

input.psd[0]

will retain only the flattened layers of the PSD.

try

Hello,

Thank you for your response. Yes, removing [0] helps retain the layers, however I am unable to open the output.psd file in Photoshop as I get an error saying "There was a problem reading the layer data. Read the composite data instead?"

try
find out how many layers, then skip the first. Or better just do
That will skip the first, flattened layer, [0]

see the top of the page at http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/basics/#list_ops about -1 layer as the last one.

Thank you for your help in resolving this issue.
