PSD (Photoshop Document)
A PSD file is a raster image saved in the native format of Adobe Photoshop. The format was developed specifically for Photoshop and is usually used to store and transmit intermediate results when working with graphics, for example, website layouts or design projects. The PSD format uses graphics compression without losing its quality and allows you to store all image data in a single file: properties, layers, channels, masks, filters, effects, text, vector elements, etc. The format supports various color modes: RGB, CMYK, grayscale, monochrome, indexed color, and others. To view the PSD file, you can use both Adobe Photoshop and other graphic editors, including Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, CorelDRAW Graphics Suite, GIMP, ACDSee Photo Studio. A PSD file can be converted to one of the common graphic formats, for example, JPG or PNG for viewing in any graphics program.
