Can anyone recommend a solid Hex inspector/editor?  I'm using 0xED.app on macOS 11.6.5 currently.

How about a good resource for decoding raw file data?  Anyone know a good YouTube video or resource?

Thanks!

What type of raw file?

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).

Photoshop.  Images.  Right now I am focusing on PSDs.

Adobe has made the PSD documentation public, but I assume you already have this.

Further than that, ExifTool won't help much because the -htmlDump option doesn't help with PSD files.

I use ExifTool for analyzing some types of images (-htmlDump for TIFF-based images, and -v3 for other formats), and a hex dump script that I wrote for displaying other binary files, and a suite of other scripts I wrote for editing them.
