For example, different layers to contain text, images, shapes, etc. Here we will be adding different shapes including a rectangle and ellipse, as well as a text layer for demonstration. You need to follow the steps below to create a PSD image using Java:

1. Create a new image using the PsdImage class.
2. Clear the image data and add a rectangle and ellipse drawing.
3. Add a text layer with any text string.
4. Write the output PSD file using the Save method.

The following code snippet explains how to create a PSD image programmatically in Java:
