The -scale flag controls the scale of the result. The default scale is 1, which results in one ppm pixel producing a 3x3 square of PostScript pixels. On a 300 dpi printer such as the Apple LaserWriter, this makes the output look about the same size as the input would if it was displayed on a typical 72 dpi screen. To get one ppm pixel per LaserWriter pixel, use "-s 0.333333".
All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix.
Note that there is no pstoppm tool - this transformation is one-way, because a pstoppm tool would be a full-fledged PostScript interpreter, which is beyond the scope of this package.
