+gdk-pixbuf-psd (gdk-pixbuf2 loader for Photoshop PSD files)
+
+This project aims to provide a GdkPixbuf loader for the PSD file format.
+
+GdkPixbuf is part of GTK and applications like Eye of GNOME and gThumb use
+it to handle image loading. The loader provided by this project will let
+those applications open PSD images and enable thumbnails in nautilus, too.
+
+The loader supports:
+- RGB and CYMK images
+- RLE compression
+- 8 and 16 bit color depths
+
+This implementation is based on this specification [1] and PHP PSD Reader [2].

+
+Installing this allows qiv to display PSD images. It should work for geeqie
+as well, but seems to have problems.
