## Photoshop Tags

Photoshop tags are found in PSD and PSB files, as well as inside embedded Photoshop information in many other file types (JPEG, TIFF, PDF, PNG to name a few).

Many Photoshop tags are marked as Unknown (indicated by a question mark after the tag name) because the information they provide is not very useful under normal circumstances. These unknown tags are not extracted unless the Unknown (-u) option is used. See http://www.adobe.com/devnet-apps/photoshop/fileformatashtml/ for the official specification

Photoshop path tags (Tag ID's 0x7d0 to 0xbb5) are not defined by default, but a config file included in the full ExifTool distribution (config_files/photoshop_paths.config) contains the tag definitions to allow access to this information.

When writing, special values of "new" and "old" represent the digests of the IPTC from the edited and original files respectively, and are undefined if the IPTC does not exist in the respective file. Set this to "new" as an indication that the XMP is synchronized with the IPTC)
