PALM to FTS conversion is the process of transforming image files stored in the PALM (Palm Image) format into the FTS (Flexible Texture/Format Standard) image format. This conversion repackages pixel data, metadata, and optional compression so the image can be used in applications or workflows that require FTS rather than PALM.
