FTS to PGM Conversion: FAQ
What are FTS files?
FTS (Flexible Image Transport System) is an image format used particularly for storing and transferring data related to astronomy, used by organizations such as NASA. Just like similar extensions FITS and FIT, FTS images can store not only image data but also metadata connected to the files' origin and structure. The FTS format is supported by a limited number of image viewers and can be converted to more widely accessible extensions, such as JPEG or PNG.
What are PGM files?
The PGM or Portable Graymap format is part of a package of open source graphics programs called Netpbm. Other Netpbm formats include PPM (Portable Pixmap) and PBM (Portable Bitmap), also known under the collective name of PNM (Portable Anymap). A PGM file includes a grayscale image, can work on a UNIX platform, as well as on Windows or Mac OS X, and can render a scope of up to 255 grayscale colors.
