you're asking for something that can reliably render arbitrary PSDs on the fly.
It doesn't have to be on the fly -- just needs to run once, on upload. This is how PdfHandler does it. When the PDF is uploaded, it calls ImageMagick to generate the preview image. PSDs could be handled the same way, since ImageMagick supports them too. If there's no such PSD handler for MediaWiki right now, that's kind of what I expected, but unfortunately I don't have time to write one myself.
As a Plan B, is there no way of dealing with the blank rectangle problem? Before installing PdfHandler, I noticed that MediaWiki was displaying an Acrobat logo as the preview image. I'm wondering if I can get MediaWiki to display a Photoshop logo or a generic "Unknown Image" graphic. Even some text saying "No preview image available" would be preferable to the empty rectangle.
Thanks!
