Eps To Pict

About EPStoPICT(tm) EPStoPICT is a Macintosh application from Art Age Software, the makers of the award-winning application epsConverter(tm). EPStoPICT can read any portable Level 1 EPS or PostScript file and convert it into a Macintosh PICT file, suitable for editing with a Macintosh drawing application, or for viewing with any application that supports standard PICT files. EPStoPICT parses the actual PostScript code in the EPS file and translates it into PICT data. Although this process takes longer than simply extracting a PICT preview from the EPS file, there are several advantages to this approach: (1) Some EPS files do not have a PICT preview to extract! (2) Often the PICT preview is not an accurate representation of the EPS file's true contents. It may be poorly rendered, or black and white only, for example. (3) When present, PICT previews are usually stored as low-resolution bitmaps. This essentially prevents them from being scaled or edited.
