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.

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.
