Abstract

This article analyzes the use of Adobe Photoshop in visual novel development, focusing on the management of complex assets like multi-layered character sprites and backgrounds. It highlights key features such as Smart Objects for non-destructive editing and Layer Comps for rapid state export and organization. The study also examines the role of adjustment layers and generative AI (Adobe Firefly) in optimizing production workflows for indie developers. By integrating vector tools and automation, Photoshop serves as a vital tool for streamlining development for engines like Ren’Py and Unity
