The "PSD format" (Photoshop Document) is a file format specifically developed for Adobe Photoshop, capable of storing a variety of image information including layers, masks, channels, color profiles, and additional editing information. It is commonly used for storing images and graphics created or edited in Adobe Photoshop, allowing users to maintain all layers and edits of a file for further adjustments later on.
Typical functions of software in the "PSD format" domain include:
Opening and viewing PSD files: The software allows users to open and view PSD files to review the content and edits made to the files.
Editing PSD files: The software provides features for editing PSD files, including changes to layers, masks, text, colors, and other editing elements.
Conversion to PSD: The software enables users to convert other image formats to the PSD format to retain all editing information and layers.
Exporting PSD files: The software allows users to export PSD files to other image formats for printing, web publishing, or sharing with others.
