PSD/PSB Parser Utility

Hey if anyone is still out there, is there anywhere a tutorial in how to use this? I have no idea what to do with the command line... any documentation anywhere?

[Paul D Pruitt]

Also if you can wait for 2 weeks, try https://online.officerecovery.com/fix-damaged-photoshop-file-online/. You can get a free demo of your fixed PSD file and if you wait two weeks a free full version of the file. Otherwise you pay $39 up front, but see the demo first to ascertain if the service was successful.

Best Wishes,

If you send me a corrupt PSD file, I'll experiment with psdparse and tell you what command to use to try to recover your files. Also tell me more about your need. Do you have a bunch of corrupt PSD files?

Do you know how to start a command line? If you start a command line and just type in psdparse it shows this help page:

  -h, --help         show this help
  -V, --version      show version
  -v, --verbose      print more information
  -q, --quiet        work silently
  -r, --resources    process and print 'image resources' metadata
      --resdump      print hex dump of resource contents (implies --resources)
  -e, --extra        process 'additional data' (non-image layers, v4 and later)
                     (enabled by default on 16 and 32 bit files)
  -w, --writepng     write PNG files of each raster layer (and merged composite)
  -n, --numbered     use 'layerNN' name for file, instead of actual layer name
      --unicode      use Unicode layer names for filenames (implies --extra)
  -d, --pngdir dir   put PNGs in specified directory (implies --writepng)
  -m, --makedirs     create subdirectory for PNG if layer name contains \'s
  -l, --list         write an 'asset list' of layer sizes and positions
  -x, --xml          write XML describing document, layers, and any output files
      --xmlout       direct XML to standard output (implies --xml and --quiet)
  -s, --split        write each composite channel to individual (grey scale) PNG
      --rebuild      write a new PSD/PSB with extracted image layers only
        --rebuildpsd    try to rebuild in PSD (v1) format, never PSB (v2)
        --mergedonly    rebuild without any layers (merged image only)
      --scavenge     ignore file header, search entire file for image layers
         --psb           for scavenge, assume PSB (default PSD)
         --depth N       for scavenge, assume this bit depth (default 8)
         --mode N        for scavenge, assume this mode (optional):
                           1 bit:  Bitmap 0
                           8 bit:  GrayScale 1, IndexedColor 2, RGBColor 3,
                                   CMYKColor 4, HSLColor 5, HSBColor 6,
                                   Multichannel 7, Duotone 8, LabColor 9
                           16 bit: Gray16 10, RGB48 11, Lab48 12,
                                   CMYK64 13, DeepMultichannel 14, Duotone16 15
         --mergedrows N  to scavenge merged image, row count must be known
         --mergedcols N  to scavenge merged image, column count must be known
         --mergedchan N  to scavenge merged image, channel count must be known (default 3)
      --scavengeimg  search for compressed channel data

I think you want to start with  --rebuild, --scavenge or --scavengeimg and also try some of the appropriate modifiers for those commands.

Best Wishes,
