Camera-RAW development and image encoding: how ORF becomes PSD

The sensor-oriented ORF data is developed into display pixels using demosaicing, white balance, tone, orientation, and color interpretation before PSD encoding. That makes the result a rendered photograph, not another untouched camera negative. The Olympus ORF reader applies a body-specific sensor layout plus orientation and lens metadata before demosaicing the recorded pixel array. PSD output aims to retain a Photoshop-style composite and editable layers, masks, channels, effects, text, and color data instead of only one flattened bitmap.

Decoded canvas - Olympus or OM System raw sensor data with camera processing and lens metadata. Written image - A Photoshop document that can contain layers, masks, channels, type, and adjustment data.

When to actually choose ORF to PSD

PSD wins this route whenever its specific mix of compatibility, alpha, animation, and file size fits the destination better than ORF does.

What changes between the ORF model and the PSD deliverable

PSD supports alpha transparency that ORF never had, so any transparent areas in the result are newly created, not carried over from the source.
PSD supports an editable object model ORF never had, so structure in the result is newly assigned by the writer, not carried over from the source.
Metadata handling differs between ORF and PSD; do not assume every application-specific field carries across untouched.

Reading ORF correctly and satisfying what PSD expects

ORF

What can fail when ORF camera raw image is interpreted

In-camera Art Filters, aspect crops, and Micro Four Thirds lens corrections may not appear in generic output.

PSD

What PSD raster image cannot safely promise

Most non-PSD outputs flatten layers, while unsupported smart objects or effects may render differently.

ENGINE

How the PSD writer handles this route

The writer builds a Photoshop document that can contain layers, masks, channels, type, and adjustment data and labels the result as image/vnd.adobe.photoshop. The receiving application - Not the extension alone - Is the final compatibility test.

Acceptance evidence for the converted PSD

BEFORE

Record the ORF evidence before conversion

Compare geometry, crop, white balance, highlights, noise, and the embedded camera preview.

AFTER

Test the PSD file in its receiving workflow

Open the result in the intended editor and inspect layer count, masks, typography, blend modes, and canvas size.
