psd thumbnail preview

[geoidesic]

The .psd file format includes a pre-made thumbnail for preview purposes:

I'm looking for a way to extract this preview without converting the whole .psd file, as this would be a lot quicker for an initial thumbnail.
Does anyone have a solution - either for PHP, Python or ImageMagick?

Do you have an example image of such that you can post? Post it on some free image hosting service and then put a link to it here.

Since it's a PSD, not an image, uploading it to a free image hosting service won't work as they will convert it to a web-ready format or disallow it.

I've put it here instead (1MB size):
