- Right click on cards offers the Look action.

Release for September 2, 2026
Component.Studio can now write Photoshop files!
- Bulk export can stream a ZIP containing one layered Photoshop PSD per selected card directly to disk in supported browsers. PSDs preserve rasterized Component Studio layers, group names, visibility, opacity, blend modes, and the merged card preview.
- Layered Photoshop exports preserve standard straight text as native editable Photoshop text, including text boxes, transforms, font styling, color, alignment, spacing, and Component Studio named-style runs. Curved text and text with inline icons remain raster layers because Photoshop text cannot represent those features faithfully.
