Conversion between different image file formats

The convert command is an extremely powerful way of changing an image into a different format, or modifying it in ways you never thought possible! It is only available on workstations (as far as I can tell) so you'd first have to copy the file you wanted to copy there using scp.

For a full list of the possible options, type the following in a workstation shell:

convert -help

For example, to convert a .ppm file into a Postscript (.ps) file you could just use

convert image.ppm image.ps
