Working with Presentation State Objects

Presentation State (PS) objects serve for the following purposes: consistent display of images on various devices and media, storage of specific settings for display (contrast transformations, geometric transformations), and storage of annotations. They also allow for special display of multi-frame images.

Presentation State object files do not include actual images, but reference one or more images.
