There is provided a hydraulic transfer film which consists of a laminate that has, on a water-soluble film, both an extension-inhibiting resin layer and a luster ink layer containing a luster pigment and a binder resin, wherein: the laminate has protrusions and recesses on the surface opposite to the water-soluble film; and the resin forming the extension-inhibiting resin layer contains a resin (A) having a glass transition temperature of 80 C. or higher. There is also provided a process for manufacturing the same; and a process for producing a decorated molded product, using the transfer film.

An object of the present invention is to provide a flaky metal pigment that is reduced in particle size. According to the flaky metal pigment of the present invention, in the case where the flaky metal pigment is measured by a flow-type particle image analyzer, P50 showing a 50% cumulative frequency of a diameter equivalent to an area circle in a number distribution is less than 0.500 m.
