Hello,

I am trying to get some information about Type Tool from PSD file into my program. In Adobe Photoshop File Formats Specification (see Txt2) you only say, that there is a length of data + Raw bytes for text engine.


But it seems, that Microsoft somehow managed to parse these raw bytes - http://dotnetinside.com/en/type/Microsoft.Expression.Importers.Psd/LayerMaskInfo/5.0.30709.0


Is that part of specification private (secret), or it is available for Microsoft only, or is it public? If it is public, can you add it to specification?

Can you at least tell me, what is the difference between "Txt2" and "TySh" sections? They both seem to contain pretty much the same data. Isn't one of them redundant?
