X3F to PS Converter

X3F is a proprietary raw image format used by Sigma digital cameras. It stores unprocessed or minimally processed data directly from the camera's image sensor, preserving maximum quality and information for post-processing.

What makes X3F unique is that it's specifically designed for Sigma's Foveon X3 sensors, which capture color differently than conventional Bayer sensors found in most digital cameras. Foveon sensors capture full RGB color at each pixel location by using three stacked photosites.

The format preserves the unique properties of Foveon sensor data, allowing for high color accuracy, exceptional detail, and greater post-processing flexibility compared to compressed formats like JPEG.

X3F files can be opened with Sigma's own software, Sigma Photo Pro, which is designed specifically to process the unique data from Foveon sensors.

Some professional photo editors like Adobe Lightroom and Capture One support X3F files with varying degrees of compatibility and processing options.

Open-source alternatives like RawTherapee and darktable have added support for X3F files, though the implementation may not fully utilize all the unique characteristics of Foveon sensor data.

To convert X3F files to standard image formats like JPEG, TIFF, or PNG, our specialized raw converter is optimized to handle the unique properties of Foveon sensor data, preserving the exceptional color accuracy and detail.

For photographers working with Sigma cameras, our conversion tools offer fine control over demosaicing algorithms specific to the three-dimensional color capture of X3F files.

When converting from X3F, our service preserves the extended dynamic range of the raw data, allowing you to create HDR compositions or precisely tuned exposures from a single original file.

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.
