TeXShop is a Tex previewer for Mac OS X. For more information, click on Below is an install package for Ghostscript 8.70. This package is part of MacTeX-2009.

Below is a similar install package for "convert" from ImageMagick. This package is part of MacTeX-2009. It is based on Image Magick version 6.5.8, released Dec 7, 2009, and uses static libraries for libjpeg 6b, released March 27, 1998, freetype 2.3.11, released Oct 10, 2009, libpng 1.2.41, released Dec 3, 2009, libtiff 3.9.2, released Nov 11, 2009, and zlib 1.2.3, released Jul 18, 2005.

The copy of "convert" in the original version of MacTeX-2009 could not convert compressed tiff files to other formats. This is fixed in the version below. The MacTeX-2009 currently on CTAN has this latest version, but the copy to be distributed on the TUG DVD has the original version. Users who obtained the original should upgrade using the small package below.
