Re: what app on a Mac reads/views ppm files?

Thanks to you all for your responses.

Looks like Preview wins out (built-in :-) ), didn't want to purchase
an app, but the quality of the image matters, if the image has one
pixel, it doesn't seem to appear :-)

Thanks,
Ken Wolcott

For a very long time, I've relied on GraphicConverter, which opens and saves a 
huge variety of formats including PPM, according to this page: 
https://www.lemkesoft.de/en/products/graphicconverter/key-features/import-and-export-formats

I have not personally used it with PPMs, but it has given me usable conversions 
of many other formats. It's a decent general-use graphics editor as well.

You could always convert it with imagemagick?

Preview seems to display them ok.

If you want to edit them, I suspect GIMP can do that; if course, you'd have to 
install it.

what app on a Mac reads/views ppm files?

Hi;

  what app on a Mac reads/views ppm files?

  I've been looking at some code located on Rosetta Code that involves
ppm files... https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Bitmap/Read_a_PPM_file

Thanks,
