  • This output writer does not preserve source EXIF, GPS or XMP metadata blocks. Original ICC profiles are not copied.
  • Verified cameras: SD9 and DP1. Other classic camera variants require their own validation. Classic X3F sensor data is developed using factory colour calibration into 16-bit sRGB. Denoising and the Sigma Photo Pro look are not applied; noise and clipped colours can remain. Standard image outputs use 8-bit pixels. EXR/HDR store the linearized developed image, not original Foveon sensor precision or dynamic range. Merrill and Quattro files are not supported.

What happens when you convert Sigma X3F 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.

RAW development

Verified cameras: SD9 and DP1. Other classic camera variants require their own validation. Classic X3F sensor data is developed using factory colour calibration into 16-bit sRGB. Denoising and the Sigma Photo Pro look are not applied; noise and clipped colours can remain. Standard image outputs use 8-bit pixels. EXR/HDR store the linearized developed image, not original Foveon sensor precision or dynamic range. Merrill and Quattro files are not supported.

Is Sigma X3F → 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 a developed image for a non-RAW application.
  • You can validate the destination’s sample precision and colour interpretation.
  • You need a PSD-compatible workflow that can hold transparency added in a separate edit.

Probably not when

  • You need original document structure or sensor samples.
  • You need the original sensor data and freedom to redevelop it.
  • You require identical samples without a defined colour and precision policy.
  • You expect automatic background removal or transparency.

Sigma X3F 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.
RAW development
Verified cameras: SD9 and DP1. Other classic camera variants require their own validation. Classic X3F sensor data is developed using factory colour calibration into 16-bit sRGB. Denoising and the Sigma Photo Pro look are not applied; noise and clipped colours can remain. Standard image outputs use 8-bit pixels. EXR/HDR store the linearized developed image, not original Foveon sensor precision or dynamic range. Merrill and Quattro files are not supported.

EXR/HDR store the linearized developed image, not original Foveon sensor precision or dynamic range. Merrill and Quattro files are not supported.
Metadata & colour
This output writer does not preserve source EXIF, GPS or XMP metadata blocks. Original ICC profiles are not copied. Verified cameras: SD9 and DP1. Other classic camera variants require their own validation. Classic X3F sensor data is developed using factory colour calibration into 16-bit sRGB. Denoising and the Sigma Photo Pro look are not applied; noise and clipped colours can remain. Standard image outputs use 8-bit pixels. EXR/HDR store the linearized developed image, not original Foveon sensor precision or dynamic range. Merrill and Quattro files are not supported.
Transparency
The target can store an alpha channel, but converting an opaque image does not create transparent areas. Removing a background is a separate editing step.
Compression
Sigma X3F: Depends on variant → PSD: Lossless Sigma X3F: Sigma documents X3F development through Photo Pro and in-camera JPEG processing on supported models. The related X3I format is a different multi-capture representation in the sd Quattro workflow. Neither the layered sensor concept nor several captures imply a Photoshop layer stack in every X3F. 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
Sigma X3F: No → PSD: Yes
Colour depth
Sigma X3F: Camera and recording mode → PSD: 8 / 16 / 32 bits/channel
HDR
PSD: 32-bit workflows
Layers
PSD: Layers & masks
Sensor data

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.

Will PSD still be an editable camera RAW?

Verified cameras: SD9 and DP1. Other classic camera variants require their own validation. Classic X3F sensor data is developed using factory colour calibration into 16-bit sRGB. Denoising and the Sigma Photo Pro look are not applied; noise and clipped colours can remain. Standard image outputs use 8-bit pixels. EXR/HDR store the linearized developed image, not original Foveon sensor precision or dynamic range. Merrill and Quattro files are not supported.

Are bit depth and colour values guaranteed to match?

Verified cameras: SD9 and DP1. Other classic camera variants require their own validation. Classic X3F sensor data is developed using factory colour calibration into 16-bit sRGB. Denoising and the Sigma Photo Pro look are not applied; noise and clipped colours can remain. Standard image outputs use 8-bit pixels. EXR/HDR store the linearized developed image, not original Foveon sensor precision or dynamic range. Merrill and Quattro files are not supported.

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. Verified cameras: SD9 and DP1.
