- Vector graphics conversion utilities? YES, please. And if PostScript
- is to be one of the formats, then I would love to see a flag or option
- for the format. Most developers have implemented PostScript files
- without the accompanying bitmap which PostScript allows so you can see
- the image on the screen (instead of that annoying shaded box). I'd
- like to see it implemented in a flexible way so you can select the
- target platform for the PostScript file and attach the appropriate bitmap.
- For example, I think some of the Mac programs use TIFF as the bitmap
- format to accompany a PostScript file. Haven't investigated what others
- use. There's no reason why an image processor couldn't be set up to
- convert just the bitmap portion and leave the PostScript code alone.
