About DRF to PSD Conversion
PSD (Photoshop Document) is Adobe Photoshop's native file format with full editing capability support. Converting Kodak DRF consumer camera files to PSD creates Photoshop-ready documents from recovered family photographs, enabling professional-quality editing in Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Affinity Photo, and other PSD-compatible editors. For family photo restoration — red-eye removal, color correction, background cleanup, and enhancement of old consumer camera captures — PSD provides the optimal editing starting point.
Many families with recovered Kodak EasyShare photographs want to improve these images before printing or sharing: fix red-eye from flash photos, brighten underexposed indoor shots, crop out distracting backgrounds, and enhance faded or poorly white-balanced captures. Converting DRF to PSD gives photo editors a clean, losslessly compressed starting document for this restoration work.
Why Convert DRF to PSD?
Photoshop and Photoshop Elements are popular tools for family photo editing. Converting DRF to PSD places the recovered Kodak photographs directly in the editing environment without intermediate format conversions that could reduce quality. The PSD format supports layers, allowing non-destructive editing where the original photograph is preserved beneath adjustment and correction layers.
For serious family photo restoration projects — restoring an entire collection of recovered Kodak EasyShare photographs for a family reunion, memorial, or anniversary celebration — PSD provides the professional workflow. Each photograph can be corrected, enhanced, and prepared for printing while maintaining the original conversion as an untouched base layer.
Common Use Cases
- Open recovered Kodak EasyShare family portraits in Photoshop for red-eye removal and skin tone correction
- Create editable PSD documents from DRF files for family photo restoration projects
- Prepare recovered Kodak Z-series vacation photos for editing and enhancement in Photoshop Elements
- Build layered PSD composites from recovered Kodak consumer photos for family collages and memory pages
- Deliver recovered Kodak family photographs to professional retouchers for restoration and enhancement
How It Works
The conversion demosaices the DRF sensor data, applies Kodak's consumer color correction pipeline, and saves the result as a flattened PSD in 8-bit RGB with sRGB color space. The PSD uses RLE compression for lossless pixel storage. Consumer Kodak cameras at 8-14 MP produce PSD files of approximately 23-40 MB — well within Photoshop's 30,000x30,000 dimension limits and practical for editing on any modern computer.
Quality & Performance
PSD output is lossless — RLE compression preserves every pixel value from the demosaiced Kodak consumer sensor data without any compression artifacts. The characteristic warm color palette that Kodak designed for their consumer cameras is preserved faithfully. This provides the cleanest possible starting point for editing — no JPEG artifacts to contend with when applying corrections and enhancements.

Tips for Best Results
- 1Duplicate the background layer immediately in Photoshop before editing — preserves the original conversion for reference
- 2Use adjustment layers for non-destructive color correction and exposure enhancement of family photos
- 3PSD's lossless quality means no JPEG artifacts to work around during red-eye removal and retouching
- 4For batch processing multiple recovered DRF files, convert to PSD first then apply Photoshop Actions for consistent corrections
- 5After editing in PSD, export final versions as JPEG for sharing and printing while keeping PSD working files
DRF to PSD provides the optimal path for editing and restoring recovered Kodak consumer camera photographs in Photoshop and compatible editors. The lossless conversion preserves full image quality, giving editors a clean starting point for red-eye removal, color correction, and enhancement of irreplaceable family memories.
