🛠️ How to Use the PSD Preview Tool

Extracting individual layers from your PSD files is fast and highly intuitive. Follow these simple steps:

Step 1: Open Your PSD File

Simply drag and drop any .psd file directly onto the PhenoCapture workspace. The software will instantly parse the document’s structure and open the PSD Preview window.

Step 2: Browse the Layers

Once the document is loaded, use the Layer Dropdown menu to see a list of all available layers. You can select a specific layer by name, or simply use the Next Layer and Prev Layer buttons to quickly flip through them until you find the exact graphic you need.

Step 3: Inspect the Graphic

Use the magnifying glass icons at the bottom of the window to zoom in and check the quality and details of your selected layer. If the graphic is too large, click the Fit to Screen icon to see the entire layer perfectly framed within the window.

Step 4: Import to Workspace

When you have the perfect layer displayed on your screen, you have two incredibly easy ways to extract it:

1. Click the Import button at the top. The software will automatically load the layer into your main workspace and safely close the preview window.
2. Or, simply Click and Drag the image directly from the preview window and drop it straight onto your main PhenoCapture canvas!
