All types or other "named entities" starting with an x- are proprietory 
(not part of a public standard) or experimentally.

Although for photshop files I would choose something like 
application/x-adobe-photoshop or application/vnd.adobe-photoshop. A 
photoshop file isn't just an image.

But do you really need a special mime type for it?
