FTS to PCT conversion is the process of transforming image files stored in the FTS raster format into the PCT picture format so they can be opened, edited, or used by software that requires PCT. This conversion re-encodes pixel data and metadata from FTS into the PCT container while preserving visual fidelity and any supported color profile where possible.
