PSD is a notoriously horrible format and I believe code needed to read and render it belongs outside of libavcodec. Not to mention that close to 90% of the features it has are unsupported by the framework, be it vectors, the colorspaces, layers, etc. The decoder's also pretty raw and only supports uncompressed images, with every other mode currently unsupported, giving the deceptive idea it's a simple decoder for a simple format. A decoder which can open a very small part of all psd files floating around isn't a very useful one. There is simply no simple way to expose all the quirks of the format in a nice way to libavcodec, given that this decoder can be potentially as complex and bad as photoshop. Please make this a separate library or a program, you don't even need any framework features since it's a simple bytestream. In case you need the testament of someone who's done the work already take a read at this: https://github.com/gco/xee/blob/master/XeePhotoshopLoader.m#L108-L136 _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
