RW2 to PS Converter

RW2 is Panasonic's proprietary raw image format used by Panasonic Lumix digital cameras. It stores unprocessed or minimally processed data directly from the camera's image sensor.

Like other raw formats, RW2 files contain the complete information captured by the sensor with higher bit depth than processed formats (typically 12-14 bits per channel versus 8 bits in JPEG), preserving maximum detail for post-processing.

RW2 files give photographers extensive control over image development parameters such as white balance, exposure, contrast, and color adjustments without the quality degradation that occurs when editing processed images.

RW2 files can be opened with Panasonic's own software such as LUMIX Raw Decoder or SILKYPIX Developer Studio (which often comes bundled with Panasonic cameras).

Professional photo editing software including Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Camera Raw, Capture One, and DxO PhotoLab support RW2 files from compatible Panasonic camera models.

Free alternatives like RawTherapee, darktable, and GIMP (with the appropriate plugins) also provide support for opening and processing RW2 files.

RW2 files preserve the full dynamic range captured by Panasonic sensors, allowing photographers to recover details in highlights and shadows that might be lost in processed formats.

Working with RW2 provides maximum flexibility for adjusting white balance, exposure, and color settings without the degradation that would occur when editing a processed image multiple times.

For Panasonic camera users shooting in challenging lighting conditions or situations requiring extensive post-processing, RW2 format offers significant advantages over JPEG in terms of image quality and editing latitude.

PS (PostScript) is a page description language developed by Adobe that describes the appearance of text, graphics, and images on a printed page. It was revolutionary in desktop publishing and printing industries.

Unlike EPS, which is a single graphic, PS files can contain multiple pages and are primarily used for printing documents rather than for embedding graphics into other documents.

PostScript files contain programming instructions that describe precisely how text and graphics should appear on a page, enabling consistent reproduction across different printers and devices.

PS files can be viewed and printed using software like Adobe Acrobat Distiller, Ghostscript with GSview, or PostScript viewers.

For macOS users, Preview can open many PostScript files, rendering them for on-screen viewing.

Some professional printing software packages also support direct import and processing of PostScript files.

To convert PS files to more widely supported formats like PDF, use our online converter that maintains all text, graphics, and layout elements from the original PostScript file.

Converting PS to PDF is the most common conversion path, as PDF preserves all PostScript elements while adding features like compression and web compatibility.

For image-based outputs like PNG or JPG, our converter will rasterize the PostScript content at your specified resolution.
