IIQ to PS conversion is the process of transforming Phase One IIQ raw image files into the PS (Photoshop) format, typically a PSD or PSB layered/document file for editing in Adobe Photoshop. This conversion preserves the raw image data and camera-specific metadata while translating it into a Photoshop-compatible document for retouching, compositing, and printing.
