File Extension PSD

Ok, the next file extension I am discussing is the File Extension PSD. It is an Adobe Photoshop Image that is layered. The layers enable an illustration to be built with individual graphic elements that can be moved over and over to obtain a desired result. I am sure almost everyone has heard of Adobe Photoshop. I have used several different programs for use in photo editing and the PSD format is one of the main formats of Photoshop and it is popular because it can be read by Macintosh and Windows computers.

File Extension PSD, as a file designated to PhotoShop, takes up less memory space than TIFF files that are uncompressed. Image editors that have the ability to read file extension PSD are Adobe PhotoShop, Corel PhotoPaint as well as Corel PhotoPaint Pro and Ulead PhotoImpact. PSD is the default, and the only file format, besides the Large Document Format (PSB), that supports most Photoshop features. So, for anyone that does any kind of photo or image editing, the PSD format is a great one to use, if you can. Enjoy!
