What happens when you convert EXR to PSD?

One rendered PSD layer

Output is an 8-bit RGB PSD with one rendered pixel layer, its transparency and a saved composite. It does not recreate source layers, masks, editable text, sensor RAW data or HDR range. The developed SDR image is the editing starting point.

HDR to SDR

HDR is rendered to SDR using exposure and Reinhard tone mapping.

Sample precision & colour

Is EXR → PSD right for you?

Good choice when

  • PSD fits your delivery use: Layered editing & retouching.
  • You want to begin pixel editing in a PSD editor.
  • You need an SDR delivery copy and can review its tone mapping.
  • You can validate the destination’s sample precision and colour interpretation.

Probably not when

  • You need original document structure or sensor samples.
  • You need the original HDR range for relighting or grading.
  • You require identical samples without a defined colour and precision policy.
  • You need every auxiliary channel or deep sample for compositing.

EXR to PSD conversion details

One rendered PSD layer
Output is an 8-bit RGB PSD with one rendered pixel layer, its transparency and a saved composite. It does not recreate source layers, masks, editable text, sensor RAW data or HDR range. The developed SDR image is the editing starting point.
HDR to SDR
HDR is rendered to SDR using exposure and Reinhard tone mapping.
Sample precision & colour
HDR is rendered to SDR using exposure and Reinhard tone mapping.
Metadata & colour
This output writer does not preserve source EXIF, GPS or XMP metadata blocks. Original ICC profiles are not copied. HDR is rendered to SDR using exposure and Reinhard tone mapping.
EXR channels & deep data
EXR V1 accepts single-part scanline RGB/RGBA HALF/FLOAT with linear Rec.709/D65 colour and premultiplied alpha, up to 4 MP. Tiled, deep, multipart, layers and other colour spaces are unsupported. EXR output is HALF RGBA ZIP; EXR editing is unavailable.
Multiple source images
EXR V1 accepts single-part scanline RGB/RGBA HALF/FLOAT with linear Rec.709/D65 colour and premultiplied alpha, up to 4 MP. Tiled, deep, multipart, layers and other colour spaces are unsupported. EXR output is HALF RGBA ZIP; EXR editing is unavailable.
Compression
EXR: Lossy & lossless → PSD: Lossless EXR: EXR supports lossy and lossless codecs. Choose one for the sample types and required precision; .exr alone does not guarantee exact channel preservation. PSD: PSD channel compression is lossless, but a document may contain previously lossy source assets. Composite rendering and layer editing are different capabilities; this page does not claim portable animation playback.
Transparency
EXR: Yes → PSD: Yes
Colour depth
EXR: HALF 16 / FLOAT 32 / UINT 32 → PSD: 8 / 16 / 32 bits/channel
HDR
EXR: Floating-point working values → PSD: 32-bit workflows
Layers
PSD: Layers & masks
Multiple images
EXR: Multipart
Dimensions
Conversion keeps the decoded image dimensions unless you edit or resize it. Orientation is applied by supported decoders. ICO fits the image into one selected square size; PDF page layout and rendering DPI are configurable. Device, memory and codec limits still apply.
Metadata
This output writer does not preserve source EXIF, GPS or XMP metadata blocks. Original ICC profiles are not copied.

Common questions

Will PSD output recover the original layers?

Output is an 8-bit RGB PSD with one rendered pixel layer, its transparency and a saved composite. It does not recreate source layers, masks, editable text, sensor RAW data or HDR range. The developed SDR image is the editing starting point.

How will HDR brightness be mapped?

HDR is rendered to SDR using exposure and Reinhard tone mapping.

Are bit depth and colour values guaranteed to match?

HDR is rendered to SDR using exposure and Reinhard tone mapping.

Will metadata and colour profiles be retained?

This output writer does not preserve source EXIF, GPS or XMP metadata blocks. Original ICC profiles are not copied. HDR is rendered to SDR using exposure and Reinhard tone mapping.
