GLOBAL – AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS, NOVEMBER 2011: Enough of exporting, flattening and resizing layers. FERRY, the first paid-for digital tool created and produced by The Dam Armada is here to help export Photoshop files.
Created for designers and developers, FERRY comes in two parts. FERRYScript converts the layers of your PSD file into a production-ready set of and XML files, which FERRYDocker then interprets into iOS UIButtons, UIViews and UITableViews, nesting them as they were in the original design.
“We’ve been using FERRY for a while now. It’s become part of our day-to-day workflow. It started as a need to save time and accuracy when translating PSD designs into functional elements for our apps and prototypes,” comments Jordi Martinez, Head of The Dam Armada. “We realized that if it was so useful for us it could also help other designers and developers. So we created a more generic version of the Photoshop script (FERRYScript) that works across all types of digital production, and an open source version of the interpreter (FERRYDocker) for iOS that could easily be exported to other platforms.”
