PSD workflow
Layered PSD Editing in Your Browser
The editor reads a PSD on your device and exposes its layer hierarchy. Edit supported text, replace an image, hide elements and adjust layer position, scale, rotation or image-layer brightness. Some embedded smart objects can be edited in document tabs. Unsupported Photoshop styles may change the preview and export; keep your original file.
