Technical note

HF2 to PSD: what carries over and what does not

Every cell in an HF2 file holds a measurement rather than a colour, usually elevation in metres, running from sea level up to whatever the highest point in the tile happens to be. PSD stores brightness, so the conversion stretches that range across a grey or colour scale. What you get is a readable picture of the terrain, and it is the right thing for a relief map or a figure. What you no longer have is the data: sampling a pixel in the PSD returns a shade, not an altitude. Missing cells in an elevation grid, such as water, radar shadow or the edge of a survey, are not empty: they hold a sentinel value, -32768 in SRTM, -32767 in DTED and very often -9999 in ESRI grids. Counted as a real height, that value stretches the scale so far that the actual terrain collapses into a few near-identical shades. When a PSD output looks flat and washed out, a void treated as data is the usual cause.

Map Data Workflow

Turn GIS data into something anyone can open

Not everyone who needs to see HF2 data has GIS software. reaConverter renders it to PSD for a report, an email or a slide, and handles a whole folder in one run.

  • Render every file in a folder to PSD with the same size and settings
  • Set DPI and output dimensions before the run, not afterwards
  • Pick up new data automatically with Watch Folders, or script the job from the command line

Everything runs on your PC, which matters for cadastral, utility and client data that should not pass through an upload form.

I'm a freelance illustrator, and I send PSDs to clients for feedback. But they can't always open them. reaConverter converts my PSDs to PDF with embedded layers, so they can view and comment without Photoshop. It's made client collaboration so much smoother.

Clients kept asking to ‘just peek’ at my layered PSDs. Now I convert them to locked PDFs with reaConverter before sending. No more ‘accidental’ edits from ‘helpful’ clients!

FAQ

HF2 to PSD Conversion

What are HF2 files?

HF2 is a compact format for terrain height maps, which are rectangular grids where every cell holds an elevation. It was designed to replace uncompressed terrain formats such as HFF, TER, and BT, which take up a lot of disk space. Its distinctive feature is that the person saving the file chooses the vertical precision: a landscape for a game or visualization may be saved with coarse steps and a very small file, while surveying work can keep millimeters. The file may also be compressed with gzip, and in this form it is saved with the .hfz or .hf2.gz extension. The format is used in terrain generation and visualization software, where large landscapes have to be stored and exchanged efficiently.

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.
