What is IMAGO PSD?
IMAGO PSD is the ultimate Blender addon that allows you to save your renders in layered PSD format directly from Blender. Perfect for artists looking to enhance their compositions in Photoshop, Imago PSD offers seamless integration, making it easier than ever to move from 3D rendering to 2D post-production.
Key Benefit
Unlike other plugins or export processes, IMAGO PSD can read some of the most important render passes, including those typically saved in OpenEXR Multilayer files, and outputs them directly into a PSD with editable layers, just like EXR-io but entirely within Blender.
Main Features
Multi-Layer PSD Output: Automatically exports key render passes such as Ambient Occlusion, Depth, Diffuse, Specular, and more into separate, editable layers in a PSD file.
Direct Integration with Blender: Export PSD files directly from Blender without any intermediate steps or software, streamlining your workflow.
Advanced Render Pass Support: Unlike typical PSD exports, Imago PSD intelligently reads OpenEXR Multilayer outputs, ensuring crucial passes are correctly mapped in your final PSD.
Seamless Workflow for Photoshop Users: Perfect for artists who prefer Photoshop for post-production, giving you total control over your compositing.
Why Choose IMAGO PSD Over EXR-io?
While EXR-io is a great plugin for handling OpenEXR Multilayer files in Photoshop, it requires manual importation and additional steps outside of Blender. Imago PSD offers a more streamlined solution by:
Eliminating Extra Steps: No need to manually import OpenEXR files into Photoshop. Export directly as PSD from Blender with all render passes included.
Fully Integrated Solution: Works within Blender, allowing you to stay in your creative flow without switching programs.
Optimized for Speed and Efficiency: Save time on exporting and setting up your layers, allowing you to focus on artistic enhancement.
Use Cases
VFX and Compositing: Perfect for VFX artists who need multiple passes for detailed post-processing in Photoshop.
Digital Art Enhancement: Ideal for digital painters and illustrators who want to refine their 3D renders in Photoshop.
Advertising and Marketing: Streamline your workflow by quickly moving from Blender render to Photoshop for last-minute adjustments.
