Hi Ives,

Thank you for your inquiry.

This is to update you can use the following code lines to get the clipping or mask layer information respectively.

psdImage.getLayers()[10].getClipping();
psdImage.getLayers()[10].getLayerMaskData();
Layer can be inserted in the following way:

Psdimage.setLayers(new Layer[0]);
Layer layer = new Layer();
layer.setTop(17);
layer.setLeft(13);
layer.setBottom(61);
layer.setRight(86);
// set other properties and settings accordingly
image.setLayers(new Layer[] { layer });

thank you for the response .

I use following code try to insert the new layer
but I got the error message (NullPointerException) when trying to save the psdImage
--------------------------------------------------------------
psdImage.setLayers(new Layer[0]);

Layer layer = new Layer();
layer.setTop(100);
layer.setLeft(200);
layer.setRight(300);
layer.setBottom(400);

((PsdImage) image).setLayers(new Layer[]{ layer });

psdImage.save(dataDir + “simplesimple.psd”);
--------------------------------------------------------------
Did I make mistake for the usage?
I also have other questions that is how to insert a mask layer
and how to get layer group.
