PSD (Photoshop Document) is Adobe's native format for professional image editing. Converting Sony SR2 RAW files to PSD creates editable Photoshop-compatible files from Sony's pioneering pre-Alpha cameras. This enables advanced retouching, compositing, and creative editing of photographs from cameras like the groundbreaking DSC-R1.
The DSC-R1's APS-C CMOS sensor delivered remarkable detail for 2005, while the F828's CCD captured distinctively warm, saturated color. PSD conversion brings both sensor characteristics into Photoshop's professional editing environment for modern creative work.
PSD provides direct access to Photoshop's complete editing toolset: layers, masks, adjustment layers, and non-destructive workflows. As Adobe's RAW support for SR2 may become limited, PSD conversion creates permanently editable files that Photoshop will always support.
Photographers with SR2 archives who want to revisit and enhance their pre-Alpha Sony captures with modern editing techniques can convert to PSD for full Photoshop compatibility. The PSD format ensures these historically significant images remain editable indefinitely.
The conversion reads the SR2 sensor data, demosaices with Sony's color matrix, and writes a PSD with a single background layer. 8-bit or 16-bit depth is supported. Sony's CCD-era color rendering is embedded via the ICC profile. Internal PSD compression uses lossless RLE or ZIP. A 10 MP DSC-R1 at 8-bit produces a PSD of approximately 20-30 MB.
PSD uses lossless internal compression, preserving the full processed quality from SR2 conversion. At 16-bit depth, the complete tonal range from Sony's sensors is available for editing. The distinctive warm CCD color rendering of the F828 and the detailed CMOS output of the R1 are both maintained with full fidelity.
