Re: Convert EPS to PNG nConvert verses Photoshop Elements 7

Ok, right, it's an error in the use_cie param Is this an error in ghostscript or in nConvert?

I thought I had found a good solution (code below) in using nConvert for TIF and PDF files and ghostscript for EPS files, but I've got some EPS files intended for full bleed, so they are larger ...

I'm looking forward to the next release, if nConvert is faster than Ghostscript.

I can't find that in nConvert's documentation, the only place I see it is in WhatsNew.txt. Same with -overwrite, its not in -help.

Re: Convert EPS to PNG nConvert verses Photoshop Elements 7

Ok, ghostscript has a different conversion...

Pierre, I think I've identified the problem. It's not a matter of filters or something, it's CIE, it doesn't look like it's working correctly in nConvert, at least when converting EPS files to PNG files. Here I'll give you some examples, nConvert with ...

Re: Use ghostscript dll's without installing it

Hello!
Great program!

I've got an question though.
Is it possible for nconvert to use ghostscript assemblies without installing ghostscript?
I guess nconvert gets the paths to the ghostscript assemblies from the register, but it would be nice if I could tell nconvert where to look for them.

Re: Convert EPS to PNG nConvert verses Photoshop Elements 7

Ok, ghostscript has a different conversion...
I assumed as much, because whenever I open an EPS file in an Adobe product, Photoshop Elements, Acrobat, Distiller, Designer, it outputs the same. Whereas I open an EPS file in GSview, XnView, MS Word, etc., it must use Ghostscript to raster.

I've ...

Re: Convert EPS to PNG nConvert verses Photoshop Elements 7

Oh, and I know I could use the -resize 1200 850 to match the Photoshop output PNG.

I have an EPS file that I want to convert to PNG using nConvert. When I open the same EPS file in Photoshop Elements 7, then Save As a PNG file, the resulting PNG is so much better looking, lighter, and full of color. When I convert to PNG using nConvert, it's so dark and looks like it has a lot ...
