You may want to try the convert utility from ImageMagick.
I usually add the various commands to a Makefile.
The commands below are from the Makefile I use for
the gEDA utilities documentation on my website ---

	ps2epsi $*.ps $*-sch.epsi
	convert -density 288 -rotate 90 -fill "#F0F0E0" -opaque white
$*-sch.epsi $*-sch.png

(* jcl *)
