It is up to you what to choose: either Graphics Mill or Raster Imaging. It goes without saying that you make your decisions based on several factors: cost, licensing policies, how imaging library suites your requirements, speed and convenience of development and so on.
If you tell us what type of application you develop and what imaging functionality you need in more detail, we will do our best to suggest the best way to solve your task using our product. If you do not want to write it here on public forum – you can
submit case.
PS. One more thing – there are no many products able to extract layers from PSD, Aurigma offers that solution.
Sincerely yours,
Dmitry Sevostjanov.
