The PSB file extension stands for Photoshop Large Document Format, a native format of Adobe Photoshop software. The PSB format is used to store large sized images with high precision, with some benefits of its own over the standard Photoshop image format .PSD, which allows for larger file sizes and fewer limitations on image size.
Benefits of PSB File Extension
The primary advantage that PSB offers over other image formats is its maximum allowed file size, which it can go up to 300,000 pixels per side. Additionally, it supports powerful layer features like adjustment layers, type layers, and more than one alpha channel. These features are not available in the typical .PSD, .TIF, and other file formats.
The supported color modes for PSB files are RGB and CMYK. Other features associated with the file format include compatibility with a variety of popular platforms including Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X as well as comprehensive support for saving all layer effects, blending modes, effects, and text on both Windows and Mac-based applications. Moreover, the Photoshop Large Document Format provides support for 16-bit sources.
File Extensions Similar to PSB
Other file extensions associated with Adobe Photoshop include .PDD, .PSP, .PDS, and .PSPIMAGE, among others. All these image formats are designed to provide users with a basic editing tool for raster graphic images.
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .PSB) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .PSB extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .PSB file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .PSB extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .PSB extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .PSB file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .PSB file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .PSB file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .PSB file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .PSB file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
