About formats

DjVu (pronounced "deja vu") is a document format developed at AT&T Labs by Yann LeCun, Leon Bottou, Patrick Haffner, and Paul Howard, first released in 1996. The format was specifically designed for storing scanned documents and images at very high compression ratios while maintaining visual quality suitable for on-screen reading. DjVu achieves this through a layered approach: the document image is separated into a foreground layer (text and line art at full resolution), a background layer (photographs and textures at reduced resolution), and a mask layer that determines which layer is visible at each pixel. This separation, combined with purpose-built compression algorithms for each layer type, typically produces files 5-10 times smaller than equivalent JPEG or PDF scans. One advantage is exceptional compression on scanned pages — a 300 DPI color scan that might occupy 25 MB as TIFF or 500 KB as JPEG typically compresses to 40-80 KB in DjVu while preserving legible text. The progressive rendering model is another strength: DjVu files stream efficiently over networks, displaying a readable low-resolution version almost immediately while progressively refining to full quality. The format supports multi-page documents, embedded text layers for searchability, hyperlinks, annotations, and a shared dictionary mechanism that further compresses collections of similar pages. DjVu is widely used by libraries and archives for digitized historical documents and manuscripts.

PSD (Photoshop Document) is the native file format of Adobe Photoshop, the industry-standard raster image editor first released on February 19, 1990. PSD files preserve the complete editing state of a Photoshop project: all layers (raster, text, adjustment, shape, and smart object layers) with their positions, blending modes, opacity, and layer effects; layer masks and vector masks; alpha channels; spot color channels; paths; guides; slices; and the full undo history. The format supports images up to 30,000 x 30,000 pixels (PSB, the large document format, extends this to 300,000 x 300,000) in color modes including RGB, CMYK, Lab, Grayscale, Indexed, Duotone, and Multichannel, at 1, 8, 16, or 32 bits per channel. PSD files use a combination of RLE compression for individual layer data and store composite (flattened) preview images for quick display by applications that cannot parse the full layer structure. The format has become a de facto standard for professional creative workflows far beyond Photoshop itself — photographers, graphic designers, web developers, and video post-production artists exchange PSD files as the working format that preserves creative flexibility. One advantage is the non-destructive editing model: PSD preserves every layer, mask, adjustment, and effect as independently editable elements, allowing creative decisions to be revised at any point without starting over. The format's role as the interchange standard for the creative industry provides another core strength — PSD files can be opened by Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects, Premiere Pro, as well as Affinity Photo, GIMP, Sketch, Figma, and Photopea, making it the lingua franca of visual design.
