FAQ
RIK to PSD Conversion
What are RIK files?
RIK is a raster map format used for digital maps issued by Lantmäteriet, the Swedish national mapping, cadastral, and land registration authority. A file of this type holds a map as a picture, in which each point is one of up to 256 colors, together with the information needed to place it on the ground in the Swedish national grid. The format exists in three versions, and files of all of them are found in collections of Swedish topographic and general maps, which were distributed on discs and used in navigation programs, hiking and orienteering software, and ordinary mapping systems. Because it is a specialized national format, ordinary image viewers cannot open it, and conversion is the practical way to use such maps elsewhere.
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.
