O převodu GIF na PSD
PSD (Photoshop Document) is Adobe Photoshop's native file format, supporting layers, masks, adjustment layers, blend modes, and 16-bit color depth. Converting a GIF to PSD opens the door to professional image editing by placing the GIF content on a Photoshop-compatible canvas. The conversion creates a flattened PSD with the GIF image as the background layer, ready for further manipulation in Photoshop, GIMP, Affinity Photo, or any PSD-compatible editor.
This conversion is particularly valuable when you need to enhance, retouch, or composite GIF graphics within a professional editing workflow. GIF files are locked into their 256-color palette and cannot be directly edited with Photoshop's full toolset without first converting to a format that supports 24-bit color and layer-based editing. PSD provides the richest editing environment available.
Proč převádět GIF na PSD?
Photoshop's editing tools — Content-Aware Fill, layer masks, adjustment layers, blend modes, smart filters — all work optimally with PSD files. While Photoshop can open GIF files directly, the resulting workspace is limited to GIF's indexed color mode. Converting to PSD first ensures you are working in RGB color mode with full 24-bit depth, which unlocks the complete Photoshop toolset.
For design teams, PSD is the standard handoff format. When a designer receives a GIF graphic from a client or stakeholder and needs to incorporate it into a layered composition, PSD provides the foundation. The converted file can be placed as a layer in an existing PSD composition, adjusted with curves and levels, masked selectively, and blended with other elements — none of which work properly with an indexed-color GIF directly.
