What happens when you convert TGA 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.

Sample precision & colour

Rendered SDR output uses 8-bit display pixels; source precision and original ICC profiles are not retained. Colour handling depends on the decoder and supported source variant.

Is TGA → 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 can validate the destination’s sample precision and colour interpretation.

Probably not when

  • You need original document structure or sensor samples.
  • You require identical samples without a defined colour and precision policy.

TGA 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.
Sample precision & colour
Rendered SDR output uses 8-bit display pixels; source precision and original ICC profiles are not retained. Colour handling depends on the decoder and supported source variant.
Metadata & colour
This output writer does not preserve source EXIF, GPS or XMP metadata blocks. Original ICC profiles are not copied. Rendered SDR output uses 8-bit display pixels; source precision and original ICC profiles are not retained. Colour handling depends on the decoder and supported source variant.
Compression
TGA: Lossless → PSD: Lossless TGA: TGA can be uncompressed or losslessly RLE-compressed. Attribute bits and version-2 alpha semantics matter; the fourth byte must not automatically be treated as opacity. 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
TGA: Yes → PSD: Yes
Colour depth
TGA: Indexed / gray / RGB / RGBA → PSD: 8 / 16 / 32 bits/channel
HDR
PSD: 32-bit workflows
Layers
PSD: Layers & masks
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.

Are bit depth and colour values guaranteed to match?

Rendered SDR output uses 8-bit display pixels; source precision and original ICC profiles are not retained. Colour handling depends on the decoder and supported source variant.

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. Rendered SDR output uses 8-bit display pixels; source precision and original ICC profiles are not retained. Colour handling depends on the decoder and supported source variant.
