So, will there be writing .PSD files as well? This would be the über thing. Imagine: upload a .PSD and get back a clean HTML layout + bootstrap_overrides.css
Writing PSD files is considerably easier than reading them. To write, you need only support the features you actually use. To read, you must support everything. For example, Photoshop always saves its layers RLE compressed (or it did when I last wrote code to write PSD files, which was about five years ago), but the format supports uncompressed layer data just fine. So if you're just trying to get basic interoperation with Photoshop, you don't have to worry about RLE at all.

Why would that require writing .PSD files?
