Convert EPSI to PHM

EPSI, standing for Encapsulated PostScript Interchange, is a file extension used primarily in the printing and graphic design industries. It stores PostScript data along with a low-resolution preview in bitmap format, facilitating the visualization of graphic content in layout applications without needing to interpret the complex PostScript code. Introduced in the 1980s by Adobe Systems, EPSI files serve as a bridge between different software applications, ensuring consistent and high-quality output in various publishing workflows. Their efficiency and adaptability have made them a standard for exchange of graphic data in professional environments.

The PHM file extension stands for Portable Float-map Image (16-bit half), a format used for storing High Dynamic Range (HDR) images with 16-bit half-precision floating-point values. This format is particularly useful in applications requiring precise color representation and extensive dynamic range, such as computer graphics, image processing, and scientific visualization. Originating from the Portable FloatMap (PFM) format, PHM was developed to provide a more efficient storage solution by utilizing half-precision floats, thereby reducing file size while maintaining significant detail and accuracy.
