Some metadata may not survive
Your PSD file may contain EXIF, IPTC, XMP, ICC metadata. EXR has limited or no support for these metadata types. Location data (GPS), camera settings, and color profiles may be stripped during conversion.
CMYK → RGB color conversion
Your PSD file uses CMYK color space (designed for print). EXR uses RGB. Colors will be converted — some print-specific colors (especially deep blues and vivid oranges) may shift slightly. For critical color matching, use a calibrated ICC profile.
