About formats

SR2 is an early proprietary RAW image format used by Sony for select digital camera models, most notably the Cyber-shot DSC-R1 released in 2005 — a unique fixed-lens camera featuring a large APS-C CMOS sensor that was Sony's first to use this sensor size in a compact body. SR2 files capture the unprocessed 12-bit readout from the camera's sensor in its native Bayer mosaic pattern, preserving the full dynamic range and color information before any demosaicing, white balance adjustment, or tonal processing. The format uses a TIFF-based container structure with Sony-specific metadata tags and lossless compression to keep file sizes manageable while maintaining bit-perfect sensor data preservation. SR2 represents a transitional format in Sony's imaging history: it succeeded the earlier SRF format and preceded the ARW format that would become Sony's standard RAW format across the Alpha mirrorless and DSLR lineup from 2006 onward. The DSC-R1's APS-C sensor paired with a fixed Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar zoom lens made it an unusual proposition — essentially a compact camera with DSLR-class image quality — and SR2 files from this camera are valued by collectors. One advantage is the preservation of data from a unique camera design: the DSC-R1's combination of large sensor and fixed optics produced a distinct imaging character, and SR2 files retain the full RAW flexibility to explore this character with modern processing tools. SR2 files are supported by Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Camera Raw, dcraw, LibRaw, and RawTherapee.

PSD (Photoshop Document) is the native file format of Adobe Photoshop, the industry-standard raster image editor first released on February 19, 1990. PSD files preserve the complete editing state of a Photoshop project: all layers (raster, text, adjustment, shape, and smart object layers) with their positions, blending modes, opacity, and layer effects; layer masks and vector masks; alpha channels; spot color channels; paths; guides; slices; and the full undo history. The format supports images up to 30,000 x 30,000 pixels (PSB, the large document format, extends this to 300,000 x 300,000) in color modes including RGB, CMYK, Lab, Grayscale, Indexed, Duotone, and Multichannel, at 1, 8, 16, or 32 bits per channel. PSD files use a combination of RLE compression for individual layer data and store composite (flattened) preview images for quick display by applications that cannot parse the full layer structure. The format has become a de facto standard for professional creative workflows far beyond Photoshop itself — photographers, graphic designers, web developers, and video post-production artists exchange PSD files as the working format that preserves creative flexibility. One advantage is the non-destructive editing model: PSD preserves every layer, mask, adjustment, and effect as independently editable elements, allowing creative decisions to be revised at any point without starting over. The format's role as the interchange standard for the creative industry provides another core strength — PSD files can be opened by Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects, Premiere Pro, as well as Affinity Photo, GIMP, Sketch, Figma, and Photopea, making it the lingua franca of visual design.
