A cool note is that for the reading and writing part of this project, we used the Rust programming language. This was a really big project and took us almost a year to complete. And we’ve completely rewritten it to be faster, safer (crash-free!), and much more advanced. Today, we’re releasing Pixelmator Pro 2.1.3, which includes a huge update to our support for Adobe Photoshop files – in fact, we’ve rewritten the entire engine that handles this from the ground up.įirst of all, what’s the PSD engine? It’s what we call the part of the app that handles reading, opening, and writing PSD files – in a nutshell, everything to do with PSDs.
