Convert PDB GRAPHICS to PTIF

The PDB (Palm Database ImageViewer) file extension is a format used primarily in Palm OS devices for storing bitmap images. Known also as FireViewer or TinyViewer format, it supports grayscale images with 2, 4, or 16 shades and can be uncompressed or use RLE compression. This format was integral to Palm OS applications like Image Viewer III, facilitating efficient image storage and viewing on early mobile devices.

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.
