PWP to PGM Conversion: FAQ
What are PWP files?
PWP is a rare and obsolete raster image format associated with Seattle FilmWorks, a company specialized in mail order film processing, later called PhotoWorks. Similar formats include SFW, PWM and ALB. They are all proprietary formats, probably difficult to open outside the software they were created with, so for best results we recommend converting them to JPEG or other more accessible extensions.
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.
