PSD is not my favourite file format.

<span style="color:#323232;">// At this point, I'd like to take a moment to speak to you about the Adobe PSD 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">// PSD is not a good format. PSD is not even a bad format. Calling it such would be an
</span><span style="color:#323232;">// insult to other bad formats, such as PCX or JPEG. No, PSD is an abysmal format. Having
</span><span style="color:#323232;">// worked on this code for several weeks now, my hate for PSD has grown to a raging fire
</span><span style="color:#323232;">// that burns with the fierce passion of a million suns.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">// If there are two different ways of doing something, PSD will do both, in different
</span><span style="color:#323232;">// places. It will then make up three more ways no sane human would think of, and do those
</span><span style="color:#323232;">// too. PSD makes inconsistency an art form. Why, for instance, did it suddenly decide
</span><span style="color:#323232;">// that *these* particular chunks should be aligned to four bytes, and that this alignement
</span><span style="color:#323232;">// should *not* be included in the size? Other chunks in other places are either unaligned,
</span><span style="color:#323232;">// or aligned with the alignment included in the size. Here, though, it is not included.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">// Either one of these three behaviours would be fine. A sane format would pick one. PSD,
</span><span style="color:#323232;">// of course, uses all three, and more.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">// Trying to get data out of a PSD file is like trying to find something in the attic of
</span><span style="color:#323232;">// your eccentric old uncle who died in a freak freshwater shark attack on his 58th
</span><span style="color:#323232;">// birthday. That last detail may not be important for the purposes of the simile, but
</span><span style="color:#323232;">// at this point I am spending a lot of time imagining amusing fates for the people
</span><span style="color:#323232;">// responsible for this Rube Goldberg of a file format.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">// Earlier, I tried to get a hold of the latest specs for the PSD file format. To do this,
</span><span style="color:#323232;">// I had to apply to them for permission to apply to them to have them consider sending
</span><span style="color:#323232;">// me this sacred tome. This would have involved faxing them a copy of some document or
</span><span style="color:#323232;">// other, probably signed in blood. I can only imagine that they make this process so
</span><span style="color:#323232;">// difficult because they are intensely ashamed of having created this abomination. I
</span><span style="color:#323232;">// was naturally not gullible enough to go through with this procedure, but if I had done
</span><span style="color:#323232;">// so, I would have printed out every single page of the spec, and set them all on fire.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">// Were it within my power, I would gather every single copy of those specs, and launch
</span><span style="color:#323232;">// them on a spaceship directly into the sun.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">//
</span><span style="color:#323232;">// PSD is not my favourite file format.
