Technical Quality Assessment
Xonvert preserves embedded metadata (EXIF, XMP, ID3 tags, etc.) whenever the PostScript File format supports it. Format-exclusive metadata fields that have no equivalent in PostScript File are gracefully omitted without affecting the converted content. Quality in this conversion depends primarily on your source file. A high-quality RW2 Raw Photo input produces an excellent PostScript File output. Since the target format is lossless, output quality matches your input exactly. RW2 Raw Photo encodes data using mathematical algorithms that preserve every data point. PostScript File prioritizes exact data preservation. The conversion maps between these approaches intelligently.
This is a cross-category conversion from Image (RW2 Raw Photo) to Document (PostScript File). While these formats serve different purposes, Xonvert extracts the compatible data from your RW2 Raw Photo source and maps it into the PostScript File format. Image files typically contain Panasonic Lumix camera users and RAW photography, while Document files are used for professional printing. The conversion bridges these two domains, allowing you to repurpose your content across different workflows.
The RW2 to PS conversion applies format-appropriate algorithms to ensure maximum data fidelity. Contains full 12-bit or 14-bit sensor data
