Summary description: Adobe Photoshop Data format (PSD) support for graphicx package
Announcement text:
## Major Updates in `graphicxpsd` v2.0 * **Transition to `expl3**`: Completely rewrote the package core using the modern LaTeX3 (`expl3`) interface, improving maintainability and namespace cleanliness. * **Modern Option Processing**: Replaced legacy option handling with the `l3keys` module for robust and flexible key-value processing. * **Native Shell Escape**: Removed the dependency on the external `shellesc` package. Now utilizes the native `expl3` function (`\sys_shell_now:e`) to execute external commands safely. * **Smart Engine Detection**: Implemented the `l3sys` module to automatically detect the TeX engine and output format (PDF vs. DVI), providing a smarter fallback mechanism without legacy conditional branches.
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/graphicxpsd The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/graphicxpsd/
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Vincent Goulet
