| Technical Details | The maximum height and width of a .psd extension file cannot exceed 30,000 pixels and its size cannot exceed 2 GB which is the maximum limit for these files, however, this may change in future. The biggest advantage of creating a .psd extension file as compared to other image formats is that this format has the ability to store lots of information including text, layers, color profiles, masks, transparencies and alpha channels. The PSD format is divided into 5 parts which include the file header, color mode data, resources to edit the image, image related data and lastly the layer and mask information. The file header includes the version, image width, pixel width and height, number of channels and bits per channel. Color mode data provides information related to the length and image resources gives the resource ID to indicate the type of data stored in each block. Data related to the image, method of compressing the data, pixel data of the image are included in the image related data whereas information related to layers, image blending range and parameters used for masking are included in the layer and mask information. |
