About formats

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.

DOTX is the Open XML template format for Microsoft Word, introduced with Office 2007. A DOTX file is a ZIP archive containing XML parts that define document styles, page layout defaults, theme colors, theme fonts, numbering formats, boilerplate content, headers, footers, and other elements that establish a reusable document foundation. When applied, a DOTX template creates a new DOCX document inheriting the template's complete formatting system. The XML-based structure provides advantages over the legacy DOT format: templates can be inspected and modified using standard XML tools, individual components (styles, themes) are cleanly separated into dedicated files, and ZIP compression yields smaller file sizes. One advantage is modular design management — DOTX templates encapsulate a complete formatting identity as a distributable package, and the XML architecture makes it straightforward to update specific elements like color schemes or font definitions without rebuilding the entire template. Broad compatibility is another strength: DOTX templates work in Word on Windows and macOS, LibreOffice Writer, and online platforms including Google Docs (with conversion). The format integrates with Word's template management system and organizational template libraries via SharePoint, enabling centralized document governance across large teams. DOTX has become the standard for distributing document formatting frameworks in corporate, academic, and publishing environments.
