RE: Re: Thimbnail dimensions are reported for photoshop files in Lab mode.

Hi,

IMatch can read the PSB file format and also all other PSD file formats if you
enable the option "maximize compatibility" in Photoshop. Since Adobe does not
longer document the PSD file format in order to prevent others from reading
these files,  IMatch and other applications can only display the image if the
compatibility mode is enabled and PS adds a composite image to the PSD/PSB file.

If the image does not contain an embedded composite image, IMatch loads all
layers it understands from the PSD/PSB file format and combines them to form an
image. Since all vector types added in the past three or four Photoshop versions
are not documented by adobe (vector layers, shape layers, ...), IMatch cannot
load or interprete the contents of these layers.

Thanks, Mario.

Can IMatch understand PSB files format - one, which Adobe make to accomodate
images with >30000 pix linear dimension (I have at least 5 of them), as well as
ones, saved in Photoshop CS without the "compartibility" mode?
