Demo: Importing PSD files into Adobe’s new Brackets editor

168 steps, man. 168 steps.

That’s how much effort it took to import a single 20-layer Photoshop file into Flash Professional when I was a designer & get the layers ready to animate.

Then Adobe shipped LiveMotion, and 168 steps fell to two (import, convert to layers). Years later we added the same support to Flash itself & other tools, and it always made a huge positive difference.

Now you can do the same with Adobe’s coding tool, Brackets:

Brackets is now 1.0 and even has the ability to open PSD files in it to extract images, CSS, text and other content.

  1. I tried brackets when it was in very early development, and it looked kind of nice. This feature looks extremely useful. I’ll have to revisit brackets!
