You're doing the worst case for performancewise. 

The usual way would be to define a struct 

#pragma pack (push, 2) 
typedef struct {
        uint32_t psdMagic;
        uint16_t version;
        uint16_t reserved1;
        uint32_t reserved2;
} PSDHeader;

and use it with code like:

NSData * psdHdrData = [NSData dataWithData:[fileHandler 
readDataOfLength:sizeof( PSDHeader )]]; // read entire PSD header
PSDHeader *header = (psdHeader *) [psdHdrData bytes];
psdMagic = CFEndianBToN( header->psdMagic );
