What format is psd?

PSD is a special format of Adobe's graphic design software Photoshop.

You can use Photoshop software to open and edit pictures in PSD file format. In terms of storage, PSD files can be stored in RGB or CMYK color mode, the number of colors can be customized, and Photoshop layers, channels, paths and other information can also be saved. Is the only format that can support all image color modes at present. Of course, it can also be used in Adobe series software, such as AI, AE and other software.

However, other software rarely supports PSD format pictures, so you can edit pictures in PS software, save them in other common picture formats, and then output them to other software for use.

The development of PS:

1, the main designer of Photoshop is Thomas Noel.

2. 1987 Photoshop's first commercial success was sold with the product of a scanner company, the name was BarneyscanXP, and the version was 0.87.

In the early 1990s, the CMYK function added to Photoshop2.0 version 2.0 made the printing house hand over the task of color separation to users, and a new industry desktop publishing-DTP came into being.

4. Since then, PS has been continuously updated and upgraded. When Photoshop version 8.0 is released, it has become the most classic version in Photoshop, which is not only the ideal choice for professional photographers, but also the first choice for image processing enthusiasts. PhotoshopV8.0 provides a fairly simple working interface and rich and practical functions.

5.PhotoshopCS version, where CS means CreativeSuite. Since PhotoshopV8.0, Adobe has integrated Photoshop into AdobeCreativeSuite, so it is called PhotoshopCS.
