Convert AVS to PTIF

The AVS (Application Visualization System) X Image file format, developed by Stardent Computer for UNIX systems, is a high-end raster image format designed for scientific visualization and complex data representation. Its true-color images with an alpha channel provide superior image integrity and transparency capabilities, ensuring accurate and clear visual data. Despite the emergence of newer formats, AVS X Image's uncompressed nature maintains its relevance in professional IT applications.

The PTIF (Pyramid Encoded TIFF) file format, developed by Image Magick, is a specialized variant of the TIFF image format designed to store multiple resolutions of the same image within a single file. This enables efficient zooming and panning in applications without losing image quality. PTIF files are commonly used in geospatial imaging, remote sensing, and medical imaging due to their ability to handle large, high-resolution images efficiently. The format was introduced to address the need for handling large image datasets more effectively in these fields.
