Was writing a program to create thumbnails using SIPS, GhostScript, ImageMagick. During testing I found I needed to read the header file of Adobe Photoshop native documents directly because Duotone image color mode simply wasn't returning the proper color mode (in a variety of programs).

So I threw together this bit of code which works great for the first tag, but....

NSFileHandle *fileHandler = [NSFileHandle fileHandleForReadingAtPath:@"/Users/kevin/Desktop/balloon.psd"];
        
NSData *psdFileHeader = [NSData dataWithData:[fileHandler readDataOfLength:26]]; // read entire PSD header
        
        NSData *signature = [psdFileHeader subdataWithRange: NSMakeRange(0,4)];
        NSData *version = [psdFileHeader subdataWithRange: NSMakeRange(4,2)];
        NSData *reserved = [psdFileHeader subdataWithRange: NSMakeRange(6,6)];
        
NSLog(@"Raw string is '%s' (length %d)\n", [signature bytes], [signature length]); NSLog(@"Raw string is '%s' (length %d)\n", [version bytes], [version length]); NSLog(@"Raw string is '%s' (length %d)\n", [reserved bytes], [reserved length]);

As you can see from the output, the 'version' & 'reserved' isn't being read at all. Must I coerce/parse something here? Much thanks...
