Hello,

I do actually want to use the fullsize image for my image viewer, and
the way I have just built my plugin interface I need to load the whole image
every time anyway. But thanks for the suggestion, food for thought :-)

I hope you will have enough time to post to the ngs while implementing a PSD
viewer in .NET.

See you later,

I am not sure, and from images I am only a viewer, but I thought there is
not one PSD format, there are versions, but I am not sure, mabye you can
verify that when you are busy.

And don't forget to give those nice ansers in the group

LBM may be worth a try, it's old, but maybe... It's Deluxe Paint's format.

Hmm, are you sure it was/is Deluxe Paint's format? I thought it was IFF, I
used to have Deluxe Paint on the Amiga you see :-) But maybe that will be a
good start :-) I'll see if I can do at least one and then work from there
:-) Cheers

Nick.
 
I so wish they would use XML!!!! I mean for christ sake, why does
everything have to be so secretive?!? Software would be so much better if
the file formats were at least all open source :-)

Nick.
 
Hey I'm not going anywhere yet, sheesh! I have been programming all day and
writing in the newsgroup too every time I take a break. But yes you are
right, there are several versions of the PSD file format and it isn't very
well documented from what I can see, apart from it being an apparent
nightmare to read, it even has an image stored in it that should represent
the final "rendered" image but apparently it doesn't allways contain the
correct data, fat lot of good that is! Anyway, I know 1 thing for sure, no
PSD, I'm not clever enough! :-(

Nick.
 
Well, Paint Shop Pro says that LBM was Deluxe Paint Format, it said that IFF
was Amiga format... ;-)

XML, what about MSIL, there's a standard format. A CPU-
Independant execution code. I think it's marvellous.

Huh... Images which contain "scripts" stored in MSIL.

Nasty, soon images will give you viruses!

.... maybe we will only store VB .NET code inside the images.

LBM = Deluxe Paint LBM File Format
IFF = EA IFF Standard for Interchange File Format

So, if you want to show a PSD file, you have to write a decoder of PSD
format, to convert it into BMP or other GDI+ supported format. And then,
load it into the Image object. On the other hand, if you want to write to a
PSD file, you also have to write an encoder.

I think, that's the "problem".

Hmmm, maybe accounting packages?

It is now I've seen how complicated it is. I wish the documentation for
file types was better and that they actually followed some standards, but
you seem to find variations of almost every format, it's rediculous!

Yeah, it was commonly used on the Amiga, especially for game graphics. I
remember it well, in the days of Amos....

Did you have a look if someone else has written a library (maybe a COM
component) do read and display PSD files?

I didn't know that before because I never had an AMIGA.
