How PS Handles RAW Data

For professional use, quality assurance is critical. Xonvert's RAW Image to PostScript File pipeline has been tested against reference implementations to ensure output meets document industry standards. Real-world quality depends on three factors: source file quality, format capabilities, and encoder settings. Xonvert optimizes the third factor automatically, but starting with the best possible RAW Image source always yields the best PostScript File output. May contain Bayer, X-Trans or Foveon sensor patterns When this data is re-encoded into PostScript File, Turing-complete programming language at its core Xonvert accounts for these differences to maintain visual and structural integrity.

This is a cross-category conversion from Image (RAW Image) to Document (PostScript File). While these formats serve different purposes, Xonvert extracts the compatible data from your RAW Image source and maps it into the PostScript File format. Image files typically contain digital photography workflow across all camera brands, while Document files are used for professional printing. The conversion bridges these two domains, allowing you to repurpose your content across different workflows.
