RAW Image

RAW is an image file format that contains minimally processed data from a digital camera's sensor. These files contain unprocessed or minimally processed data and are not subjected to lossy compression, preserving as much detail as possible. RAW images are most often used by photographers who want maximum control over the post-processing and editing process. The RAW format provides flexibility in adjusting exposure, white balance, and other settings without loss of quality.

PostScript File

PostScript (PS) is a page description language and file format primarily used in desktop publishing and professional printing. PS files describe the layout of a document, fonts, and graphics with high precision. They are device-independent, ensuring consistent output across different printers and displays. PS files are often used to store complex graphics and documents for high-quality printing. It supports vector graphics and raster images.

What is a PS File?

PS (PostScript) files are a page description language primarily used in desktop publishing. They are commonly used for storing vector graphics, text, and images for printing.

  • Excellent for vector graphics and text-based documents.

  • Can be used to preserve layout and formatting.

Why Convert RAW to PS?

While less common than converting to JPEG, converting RAW to PS can be beneficial for specific workflows. One main reason is the ability to integrate the image directly into a print-ready document while preserving a high level of detail, or archiving for later processing in another application. Another case is when converting to an older format is necesarry.

However, it's important to note that PS files typically don't support the full range of RAW data. Often, RAW files are converted to more universal and editable formats like TIFF or PSD before being placed in a PS file.

Using our online converter offers a quick and easy way to convert your RAW images into PS format. If you need further editing or a more feature-rich format, you might consider converting to a more flexible intermediate format like PSD or TIFF first.
