Magic numbers

Hello everyone,

The hex magic numbers for Psd are: 38 42 50 53

Any idea about the magic numbers for Psdt and Pdd (legacy PhotoDeluxe)?

Thanks.

As far as i can tell from opening the files in a Hex editor, .psd and psd files with the .psdt and .pdd file extensions all have the same file signatures "magic numbers".
