PTX is one of Pentax's RAW formats, closely related to PEF and used on certain Pentax camera models. When archiving or further editing matters more than minimizing file size, PNG is the better target than JPG, since it's lossless and won't introduce any additional compression artifacts once the file has been demosaiced.
Converting PTX to PNG is the practical choice for preserving maximum image quality when revisiting photos captured on a Pentax camera that uses this specific RAW variant rather than the more common PEF extension.
