Hi all.
I've been tasked with converting 1000s of archived images which are in a little-known image format called CPC or Cartesian Perceptual Compression. It isn't very widely supported anyway and looks to have been discontinued as a mainstream image format in the mid 90s.
I'm wondering if anyone knows of any library or facility in Python that might be able to do a simple, on-the-fly conversion of these images to a more recognised format such as TIFF which will be more widely handled? I know there is the Python Image Library but I can't seem to find a codec for it which would handle these files.
Any ideas or suggestions?
