Convert PBM to PSD

The PBM (Portable Bitmap) file extension, part of the Netpbm project, originated in the late 1980s to facilitate efficient and portable graphics file interchange. Primarily, PBM files are used to store monochrome bitmaps in a simple ASCII text format, ensuring easy compatibility across different systems and platforms. This format supports only black-and-white imagery, making it particularly useful in scenarios where simplicity and minimalism are prioritized, such as in Unix environments for bitmap manipulation and transfer. Its historical significance lies in promoting a standardized approach to bitmap graphics in early computer technology.

The PSD file extension stands for Photoshop Document, which is the native file format for Adobe Photoshop. It is primarily used to save graphics and images, preserving layers, masks, transparency, and other editing features, allowing for non-destructive editing. Introduced in 1988 with Photoshop's first release, PSD files have since become a standard in the graphic design and digital imaging industry due to their flexibility and support for various color modes and channels, including RGB, CMYK, and grayscale.
