indicate that it also claims to produce searchable-text PDF documents from scanned-in images (OCR), convert between raster and vector formats, work with various 2D & 3D CAD files, RAW files, watermark, postscript and plotting files, reduce color bit-depth, Gerber (GBR) format for printed circuit boards (PCBs), etc. Most of it is common image processing/editing stuff: adjust gamma, brightness, contrast, crop, rotate, etc.Ī review of these two pages (which include nice descriptions of what various formats are used for): Their description on this page (above) does not do justice as to what all ReaConverter claims it can do. When we need to convert an odd-ball format, wouldn't it be a disappointment to start your image converter and find that it is limited to 5 or 6 formats? Save | Cancel Most of us will convert images to the same small list you use. When we need to convert an odd-ball format, wouldn't it be a disappointment to start your image converter and find that it is limited to 5 or 6 formats? Naturally, they are going to advertise the larger numbers, not because any one person needs them, but because those file formats have been created, reverse engineered, and now can be saved in other formats. This reaConverter program is a mish-mash of parts to support the wide range of graphic file formats they do. The more formats a converter program can list, gives it ranking in a way, so it is natural to list as many formats as they have been able to support. The original creator is probably out of business, but some of those files likely still exist out there somewhere. I noticed later on that Irfanview added the format back in. The creator of the original format requested Irfanview remove the format from their program, and they did so. It didn't take long for the experienced developers of Irfanview and Xnview to be able to decode those images. You could not use any other graphic images because their file format was unique, and you could not use their images in anything else. One example of a unique graphic file format was created by a company that wanted to sell a product that would change the desktop background daily, but they also wanted to sell the images you could use.

It is due in part to these two freeware programs that we now have a few other commercial graphic file conversion programs. Two somewhat competing programs were Irfanview and Xnview, both freeware programs, and both adding more and more formats that they could handle. As graphic program developers reverse engineered the various formats, they could save the data in a different format. It was only later on that someone wanted to convert one of those special formats to something else. For them and their intended users, everything worked just fine.

Generally, they were to work within a specific program or specific hardware. Over the course of history in graphic file evolution, there have been many manufacturers that have created their own format, but not with the intent that images in their format would ever need converting to anything else. Almost no one "needs" 50 formats unless they are in the business of converting a wide range of formats to a more common format. The point is not that anyone needs 50+ formats.
