If you want to read the channel and layer image data, you can try my PSD parser in C, http://telegraphics.com.au/svn/psdparse/trunk

Writing your own will take 100s of hours of trial & error due to incomplete & faulty documentation (if you can even obtain it).

Start by reading the SDK documentation.

Then, from what you read, request the PSD file format spec documentation.

Then you'll have to write a parser for PSD files, and possibly all the blending, filtering, and effects code to render a PSD file.

The "Preview" application bundled with Mac OS X can open and display PSD files.

Are you implying that Apple wrote all their own code to render the files?

The former only.

There is no code or library relating to PSD in the SDK. At one time there was some very limited documentation for it, but debugging the documentation and implementing the results was up to you. And nothing at all about compositing. Secret sauce, you know.

July 2010 version attached.
