PSD Viewing and Diffing

I wonder if GitHub tries to make a stab at LayerVault [1] and compete with them? This could be a good first step. I wouldn&#x27;t mind seeing LayerVault have some more competition in this space. I hope this is the first of many updates GitHub does trying to integrate more into version control for designers.<p>[1] <a href="https://layervault.com/" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;layervault.com&#x2F;</a>

I wonder if PSD became their favorite file format <a href="https://code.google.com/p/xee/source/browse/XeePhotoshopLoader.m#102" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;code.google.com&#x2F;p&#x2F;xee&#x2F;source&#x2F;browse&#x2F;XeePhotoshopLoad...</a>

I just wish companies would do this when they released new TOS policies.

I think that this is one of the first early results of the work that Github is doing after here 100$M series-A Github is transforming into a &quot;document collaboration&quot; platform, they will extend git usage to every single critical file format. Great move guys :)

I suppose this is for small images... cos .psd&#x27;s can grow to <i></i>really<i></i> heavy files. For instance a product presentation mockup, a single page design ready to be sliced (i.e. home.psd), or anything with &quot;Photoshop 3D&quot; can be easily over 100Mb...

It would be great if they could cast some insight into how they&#x27;re parsing and rendering the PSDs, and if they wrote any code to do so, they posted it on GitHub.

Heh, they added PSD just in time for a large number of people to jump to Sketch. All joking aside, kudos for adding this. It&#x27;s great, if you can get people to store these large files in github.

I saw that our artists recently (or might&#x27;ve been longer ago that I knew) started using PSB files rather than PSD - Haven&#x27;t checked on the actual differences.

I really dig this feature and would love to see it extended to AI files as well!

<i>sigh</i><p>I just wish PSD files weren&#x27;t so horrendously, horrendously, horrendously, terrible with space.<p>Our design people routinely have to deal with 300MB+ <i>files</i> for client work. I&#x27;m not convinced yet it&#x27;s worth the benefits if the only way they can work w&#x2F;git(hub) is with git-bigfiles or git-annex, or some convoluted custom workflow =(
