Photoshop File Formats for layers : developer coding quest..

I'm trying to find some documentation on the adobe photoshop tiff file
format extensions specifically to do with layers. I want to be able to
read off layers OUTSIDE of photoshop. I have the Adobe photoshop tiff
techncial notes document from the SDK but it refers to the Photoshop
File Formats.pdf document which doesnt seem to exist.

Specifically, Im looking for 'Layr' (layer data) documentation found
for
Field: ImageSourceData
Tag: 37724 (935C.H)
with
Signature '8BIM'
Type 'Layr'

Thanks

Not exactly what you want, but here's code that extracts layer data
from PSDs:
