Transferring a RAW Image to Photoshop

A RAW image can be converted to a TIFF image (16bit) and transferred to Photoshop.

  1. Select the [Tools] menu → [Transfer to Photoshop].

    • Photoshop starts up and the transferred image is displayed.

A single image can be transferred at a time

Only one image can be transferred at a time. To send multiple images at a time, see "Batch Transfer Images to Image Editing Software".


  • Compatible versions of Photoshop are 7.0 or later.

  • Transferred images are automatically converted to TIFF images (16bit) to which an ICC profile is added. The ICC profile contains information about [Preferences] (Color Management) or work color space set for each image as described below and the appropriate color information is relayed to Photoshop.

  • When you exit Photoshop, only the original RAW image remains, and the transferred image will disappear. Saving the transferred image as a separate image in Photoshop is highly recommended.

  • For CS4 or later versions of Photoshop, this function is not available if a 32-bit version is not installed.
