Image Load (image_load) — brings PNGs and other external images into the graph
Aseprite files (.ase/.aseprite) are read layer-by-layer and frame-by-frame with
the nodes in the Aseprite category
Exporting
Preview/output nodes save results as PNG
For unsaved projects the default export destination is projects/exports/images/
(audio goes to exports/audio/)
Batch export
Batch Export (batch_export) and friends write whole sets of outputs in one go
Nodes that write files are "side-effect nodes" that run on every evaluation —
build your graph with save_mode disabled and enable it only when you are ready
to write
Automated exports
Launching with --headless opens a project, evaluates it, and runs the export
nodes automatically (→ 12 AI Integration)
