This allows for editing of multiple images in a single file. Also, for experienced Photoshop users, a good understanding of the different editing tools make working with a PSD image much easier. The PNG is similar to a lot of \u003Ca href=\"\u002Fblog\u002Fimage-file-types\u002F\">image file types\u003C\u002Fa> in that it needs to be edited in order to be part of publications.

These factors are the most important thing, as the image file only is convenient to someone if they’re able to use it. For example, if you send an image file to a client who uses strictly Photoshop, the process will run smoothly if the file is in PSD format.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you’re catering to another user’s preference or bolstering editing capabilities, a PSD often makes the most sense to use.
