How to Open .Psd Files

.PSD is the file extension for Adobe Photoshop. Photoshop is the leading commercial art and image-editing program used by graphic designers, web designers and print shops. All files with the .PSD file extension are images. Default image editing software that ships with Windows can't open or view .PSD files. IrfanView is a freeware application that can open and view .PSD files. IrfanView can save .PSD files in other common formats such as .jpg, .gif, and .png.
