The files I'm looking at are apparently supposed to be pictures, but they're .psf files and changing them to .jpg or .png doesn't work.

From what I've seen, they seem to be some proprietary Photoshop file, but I don't see how pictures taken with a camera around the turn of the millennium could end up as .psf files.

"PSF is an acronym for Proof Setup File. Files that contain the .psf file extension usually store the color settings that are used by the Adobe Photoshop application. These files allow a user to see accurate previews of how an image will look once it has been printed on paper. "

10 seconds on Bing, you're welcome.

yeah buddy. changing the file extension is like changing a .mp3 to .avi and expecting to see a music video.

"Files under the PSF format are settings files created by Adobe programs. One of the programs that make use of such files is Adobe Photoshop. Basically a graphics editing program, this software features a range of editing tools, including image cropping, slicing, retouching, healing, video editing, drawing, 3D tools and many more. Photoshop has become known worldwide for its versatility when it comes to editing and creating digital graphics. PSF files are preference files which contain data about the color settings that the image will adapt to, in order to enable accurate previews of how it will look like when printed. Such files can only be accessed through its authoring software. Any type of conversion of PSF files is discouraged. "

If it's a photo with the wrong file extension it works. They're all apparently photos, so of course I'd try that.

If it's really an image, you could try opening it with and converting it if it opens correctly.

I could. They were imported from a device rather than directly copied from their storage.

seems like it might be adobe, it really depends, i'm using psf files on cadworx for some projects but think those are typically used on photo related programs rather than 3d models.
