Areas: Raster, Files
Proposal Type: New file parser
Overview
PixiEditor has majority, if not all of features required to open PSD files. It’s likely a matter of writing a parser (or using existing ones) and converting parsed data into PixiEditor’s Document.
Feature was requested on the forum multiple times (Support opening .psd and .kra, Psd file support).
PSD format is famous on being a really hard format to work with, using or forking already existing solution is likely the best idea.
