Hi.

Psd format is proprietary of adobe -assumably no opensource software can convert to that format. Maybe photoshop can open svg files directly?

Tiff may be a better bet however inkscape can only export to png format which you'd need to convert to tiff by a third party program.
Probably imagemagick is the best for raster file conversation (though I'd use gimp for the task).

Welcome to the forum!

I've heard of a graphics program called Irfanview, which can handle a huge variety of format conversions.  So if you can't find anywhere else to make the conversion, that might be a good option.

But since PSD is the native format for Photoshop, you might have to use Photoshop to make that conversion.
