FAQ
RAS to PSD Conversion
What are RAS files?
The RAS file extension represents the CALS Raster File Format, a standard developed by the U.S. Department of Defense for the interchange of monochrome raster graphics. It is primarily used for storing high-resolution, black-and-white images such as engineering drawings, technical manuals, and scanned documents. CALS RAS files are typically used in military, aerospace, and government applications due to their consistency and archival suitability. The format supports compression and is optimized for printing and long-term storage.
What are PSD files?
PSD is the default format for handling images using Adobe Photoshop and it represents a layered image file. PSDs allow later editing of available layers, including transparency, masks, alpha channels and texts, among others. After applying all desired editing, PSD files can be saved in Photoshop under more easily recognizable formats, such as JPEG or PNG, which are also smaller in size but flatten the image and hence do not allow later editing of layers.
