// At this point, I'd like to take a moment to speak to you about the Adobe PSD format. | |
// PSD is not a good format. PSD is not even a bad format. Calling it such would be an | |
// insult to other bad formats, such as PCX or JPEG. No, PSD is an abysmal format. Having | |
// worked on this code for several weeks now, my hate for PSD has grown to a raging fire | |
// that burns with the fierce passion of a million suns. | |
现在,请允许我花一小会给你说一下adobe家的psd格式。PSD不是一个好格式,它甚至算不上一个坏格式。 | |
将它称为坏格式,简直是对其他坏格式的侮辱,例如PCX或者JPEG。TMD,PSD是一个糟糕透了的格式。 | |
在连续数周码这段代码之后,我对PSD的厌恶已经增长到犹如狂暴的怒火,猛烈得犹如灿烂千阳。 | |
// If there are two different ways of doing something, PSD will do both, in different | |
// places. It will then make up three more ways no sane human would think of, and do those | |
// too. PSD makes inconsistency an art form. Why, for instance, did it suddenly decide | |
// that *these* particular chunks should be aligned to four bytes, and that this alignement | |
// should *not* be included in the size? Other chunks in other places are either unaligned, | |
// or aligned with the alignment included in the size. Here, though, it is not included. | |
// Either one of these three behaviours would be fine. A sane format would pick one. PSD, | |
// of course, uses all three, and more. | |
如果有两种方法可以做某件事,PSD会同时用两种方法做,而且还在不同的地方。然后,它会捏造出三种 | |
或以上的方式去做同一件事,而这些方式糟糕得没有正常人会考虑。PSD是一种不统一的艺术形式。例如, | |
为什么它突然决定这些块应该4字节对齐,而且为了对齐而填充的不算入总的大小里?其他部分的块要么 | |
不对齐,要么对齐但总大小里包含对齐用的填充字节。平心而论,这三种方式都没有问题,一个正常的 | |
格式会从中挑其中一种使用,PSD呢,它三种都用上了!!! | |
// Trying to get data out of a PSD file is like trying to find something in the attic of | |
// your eccentric old uncle who died in a freak freshwater shark attack on his 58th | |
// birthday. That last detail may not be important for the purposes of the simile, but | |
// at this point I am spending a lot of time imagining amusing fates for the people | |
// responsible for this Rube Goldberg of a file format. | |
从PSD格式里拿数据出来,就像 | |
// Earlier, I tried to get a hold of the latest specs for the PSD file format. To do this, | |
// I had to apply to them for permission to apply to them to have them consider sending | |
// me this sacred tome. This would have involved faxing them a copy of some document or | |
// other, probably signed in blood. I can only imagine that they make this process so | |
// difficult because they are intensely ashamed of having created this abomination. I | |
// was naturally not gullible enough to go through with this procedure, but if I had done | |
// so, I would have printed out every single page of the spec, and set them all on fire. | |
// Were it within my power, I would gather every single copy of those specs, and launch | |
// them on a spaceship directly into the sun. | |
// | |
// PSD is not my favourite file format. |
