Where are you setting $config['allwoed_types']? In the controller or do you have a config/upload.php?

Also check the psd file that you are trying to upload returns a correct mime type.

Check mime types at application/config/mime.php.

A bit more risky method, but in one way more logical method I use is to allowe all types $config['allowed_types'] = '*'; and simply validate preg_match("\.psd$", $str_file_name) before uploading.

All these mime settings in application/config/mime.php probably exists for a reason, but it's way too overcomplicated with some file types due to silly many different mime types for some cases.
