PSD (Photoshop Document) is Adobe's native format for professional image editing. Converting Leica RWL files to PSD creates Photoshop-compatible files that can be opened for advanced editing, compositing, retouching, and color grading. This bridges Leica's premium camera output with the industry-standard editing platform used by photographers and designers worldwide.
Leica D-Lux and V-Lux cameras deliver a distinctive color rendering that many photographers consider superior to their Panasonic counterparts. PSD conversion preserves this Leica character while enabling the full range of Photoshop's professional editing capabilities — layers, masks, adjustment layers, and non-destructive workflows.
PSD is the standard working format for professional photo editing and design. Converting RWL to PSD gives Leica photographs direct access to Photoshop's complete toolset without going through Lightroom or Camera Raw. This is useful when editing workflows start in Photoshop, when teams collaborate via PSD files, or when design projects require layered Photoshop deliverables.
Many professional clients and design agencies require PSD deliverables for their production pipelines. Converting Leica D-Lux and V-Lux captures to PSD enables seamless integration into these professional workflows while preserving the Leica color signature.
The conversion reads the RWL sensor data, demosaices with Leica's color matrix, and writes a PSD with a single background layer. 8-bit or 16-bit depth is supported. The PSD includes Leica's embedded ICC profile for color management. Internal compression uses RLE or ZIP — both lossless. A D-Lux 7 (17 MP) at 8-bit produces a PSD of approximately 30-50 MB.
PSD uses lossless internal compression, preserving the full quality of Leica's processed sensor data. At 16-bit depth, the subtle tonal separations that define Leica's color science are maintained with maximum precision. The PSD output is a high-fidelity representation of the Leica rendering, ready for professional editing without any compression degradation.
