How Photoshop solved working with files larger than can fit into memory
It's a bit of a roundabout article, given that it's ostensibly talking about the Web version of Photoshop. Basically, Adobe already solved the problem (for decades, now) with a traditional non-web application by using the filesystem. And the new bit here is that Chrome offers a filesystem for web apps to use [1], so from the web app's point of view, it can still use the same essential solution that the native app would.It doesn't really go into the guts of how PS actually manages all that data in much detail. Just "it goes to the filesystem in a smart way."[1] The "origin private file system": https://developer.chrome.com/articles/file-system-access/#ac...
