Re: Engraved 'look'

Sounds like a job for an image filter.

ps2pnm music.ps
gimp -i -b '
    (let* ((image (car (gimp-file-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE  
"music001.pnm" "music001.pnm")))
    (drawable (car (gimp-image-get-active-layer image))))
    (plug-in-blur RUN-NONINTERACTIVE image drawable)
    (gimp-file-save RUN-NONINTERACTIVE image drawable "music001.pnm"  
"music001.pnm")
    (gimp-image-delete image))' '(gimp-quit 0)'

Replace "plug-in-blur" with whatever effect you'd prefer. :)
