.TH PAL2RGB 1 "September 20, 2005" "libtiff"

.SH NAME

pal2rgb \- convert a palette color

.SM TIFF

image to a full color image

.SH SYNOPSIS

.B pal2rgb

[

.I options

]

.I input.tif

.I output.tif

.SH DESCRIPTION

.I Pal2rgb

converts a palette color

.SM TIFF

image to a full color image by

applying the colormap of the palette image to each sample

to generate a full color

.SM RGB

image.

.SH OPTIONS

Options that affect the interpretation of input data are:

.TP

.B \-C

This option overrides the default behavior of

.I pal2rgb

in determining whether or not

colormap entries contain 16-bit or 8-bit values.

By default the colormap is inspected and

if no colormap entry greater than 255 is found,

the colormap is assumed to have only 8-bit values; otherwise

16-bit values (as required by the

.SM TIFF

specification) are assumed.

The

.B \-C

option can be used to explicitly specify the number of

bits for colormap entries:

.B "\-C 8"

for 8-bit values, 

.B "\-C 16"

for 16-bit values.

.PP

Options that affect the output file format are:

.TP

.B \-p

Explicitly select the planar configuration used in organizing

data samples in the output image:

.B "\-p contig"

for samples packed contiguously, and

.B "\-p separate"

for samples stored separately.

By default samples are packed.

.TP

.B \-c

Use the specific compression algorithm to encoded image data

in the output file:

.B "\-c packbits"

for Macintosh Packbits,

.B "\-c lzw"

for Lempel-Ziv & Welch,

.B "\-c zip"

for Deflate,

.B "\-c none"

for no compression.

If no compression-related option is specified, the input

file's compression algorithm is used.

.TP

.B \-r

Explicitly specify the number of rows in each strip of the

output file.

If the

.B \-r

option is not specified, a number is selected such that each

output strip has approximately 8 kilobytes of data in it.

.SH BUGS

Only 8-bit images are handled.
