Phil, were you aiming to parse this at some point, or should we do it upstream?

Thanks.  This decoding will be added to ExifTool 12.49, but for now this tag will remain marked as Unknown.

exiftool -u -photoshop:printflags filename.psd

Nope.  That is correct, and is what you get if only the last bit is set.

Aha! Of course!  Thank you.  - J
