Debug

Known issues

gotchapytoshop can only write PSD files, not read them. Do not expect to open or parse existing PSD files.

fix

Use a different library (e.g., psd-tools) for reading PSD files.

affects: all

gotchaLayer and Group classes are in separate modules (layer and group), not directly in pytoshop namespace.

fix

Import from pytoshop.layer and pytoshop.group instead of from pytoshop.

affects: all

gotchaThe library is not actively maintained; the last release was in 2021. It may have compatibility issues with newer Python versions (3.10+) due to unmaintained dependencies.

fix

Consider pinning Python to 3.9 or lower, or use an alternative like psd-tools.

affects: >=1.0

deprecatedSome blend modes and advanced features are only partially implemented. Not all Photoshop features are supported.

fix

Check the source code or documentation for supported features; contribute to project if needed.

affects: 1.2.x
