Recommended PSD Layers Structure for Smart Importer

When creating PSD files using Adobe Photoshop, it is recommended that the naming and structure of the Photoshop layer controls be pre-matched to SceneComposer. This will allow for smooth application of controls and their properties when importing with SmartImporter. The list below shows the Controls that will be assigned in Scene Composer via Smart Importer. Press the links on each Control to jump to the page showing the recommended layer structure in detail.

It is important to note that the Smart Importer cannot process effects, masks, filters in Photoshop. Therefore, if you want to use these features, please rasterize the images in advance. 

 Some Controls are included in the sample file "IVI_Sample.psd" and are explained with specific examples.

 

 

 

PSD layer settings for Control

In this section, the recommended layer configuration in PSD file is described for each control. And, you can confirm its configuration in the sample file about CheckBox, Gauge, IconButton, RadioButton, and TextButton.

• Setting Group name is optional, but it is recommended to use the Control name (as seen in Scene Composer)
• It is also recommended to use the property names (as seen in Scene Composer) as layer names (in Photoshop), but please don't use spaces in the layer names.
