    plug-ins: add support for loading merged image data from PSD files · d49e038e
    Ell authored
    PSD files may include a "merged", pre-composited, version of the
    image (in Photoshop, this is the case when saving files with
    "Maximize Compatibility" enabled; GIMP always saves the merged
    image data in exported PSD files.)  This commit adds support for
    loading the merged image version from PSDs, instead of the full
    layer hierarchy.  This is useful when loading PSD files that use
    features that we don't currently support, and therefore can't
    render correctly, such as adjustment layers.
    
    When loading the merged image version, we avoid loading certain
    additional data from the file, such as channels, paths, and
    guides, while still loading metadata, making this akin to loading
    other "flat" image formats.
    
    This option is currently exposed as an additional file type
    ("Photoshop image (merged)"), which has to be explicitly selected
    from the file-type list when opening the image.
    
    (cherry picked from commit 1d9a8a91)
