This feature allows loading data from the graphical editor Adobe Photoshop.
Exporting data from Adobe Photoshop requires to install a special plugin. You can do this in two ways:
After the plugin is installed, action Export to MnCreator will be available in menu File>Scripts. You might need to restart Adobe Photoshop. This action calls dialog box where you can change the directory where the exported data is written. After plugin work is finished, all graphical files and a special file with the extension mncpsd, which contains data about layers, will appear in chosen folder.
At this moment MnCreator supports importing only raster layers from Adobe Photoshop, so masks and filters are automatically applied to all layers, while text and SmartObject layers will be rasterized.
There are several ways to import data into MnCreator:
Any selected method results in a special window by importing the data:
Setting | Description |
---|---|
Data File | In this field you must select a file with the extension mncpsd, from which it imports the data. |
Canvas Size | These settings indicate the size of the layout set in Adobe Photoshop. These settings are read-only. |
Scale | Scaling allows changing the size is proportional to the canvas. These settings are necessary due to the fact that the layout in Adobe Photoshop is usually set in the resolution, which is much bigger than the actual resolution of device screens. Warning! If the import happens from the project folder, MnCreator overwrites existing files and changes their resolution. |
Adapt for Retina | This option appears only if the layout reduces more than 4 times while it is importing (values in the "Scale" is 2 or more times lower than in the corresponding fields "Canvas Size") and keep small layers (no larger than 40,000 pixels: 200x200, 400x100, etc.) with a high density of pixels to fit the HD-screens, such as: Apple iPhone 4 and above, Apple iPad Retina and above etc. |
