Name

Name of the Asset. Not currently exported into the JSON file useful for your own reference. This is the name used in the asset list sidebar.

Default Layer Output Size

The output size is the resolution the exporter will resize the layers in this asset to when placing them into the texture atlas. Setting this value will apply the same resizing to each layer in the asset if that layer does not have an output size set on it already.

Output size can be defined in a few different ways.

• A percentage e.g. 75%.

• Width and height e.g 200x300.

• Just width or just height this will preserve aspect ratio
  • Examples:
  • x200 will make the height 200px and the width will be resized to the correct aspect.
  • 200x will make the width 200px and the height will be resized to the correct aspect.

Trim Layers

Checking this box will trim the alpha around layers in this asset. It will override Trim Alpha value set in the Project Settings for this asset.

Merge Layers

On a PSD this setting will merge all the layers in the image into a single image when exported.

On an Aseprite file this setting will merge all layers in a frame into a single image when exported.

Layers

Below the information about the asset is a list of its layers. If the parent file doesn't merge all layers you can click on an individual layer to see and edit info about it. If all layers are merged in the parent asset the right side will show info about the merged image.
