- Description
- The PSF file format, standing for PhotoStudio File, is a proprietary image format developed by ArcSoft for use with their PhotoStudio image editing software. It is designed to save an image's data along with any layers, effects, or other editing details that have been applied, allowing users to save their work in progress and return to edit it further at a later time. Because it is a proprietary format, PSF files are primarily supported and can be fully edited only within ArcSoft PhotoStudio and possibly a few select other applications. For broader compatibility, users often convert PSF files to more widely recognized formats like JPEG or PNG after finalizing their edits.
- A PSD file is an image file created by Adobe Photoshop, a professional image-editing program often used to enhance digital photos and create web graphics. It is the native format used to save files in Photoshop. PSD files may include image layers, adjustment layers, layer masks, annotations, file information, keywords, and other Photoshop-specific elements. They are commonly created and shared among graphics professionals.
