This article is about the software, and all of its native formats. For the main Photoshop image format, see PSD.

Adobe Photoshop is a popular raster graphics editor. It has many native file formats and data formats, most notably PSD. It supports a relatively small number of third-party image formats, though plug-ins are often available for such formats.
