pal2rgb ? convert a palette color TIFF image to a full color image |
pal2rgb [ options ] input.tif output.tif |
Pal2rgb converts a palette color TIFF image to a full color image by applying the colormap of the palette image to each sample to generate a full color RGB image. |
Options that affect the interpretation of input data are: |
?C |
This option overrides the default behaviour of 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 TIFF specification) are assumed. The ?C option can be used to explicitly specify the number of bits for colormap entries: ?C 8 for 8-bit values, ?C 16 for 16-bit values. |
Options that affect the output file format are: |
?p |
Explicitly select the planar configuration used in organizing data samples in the output image: ?p contig for samples packed contiguously, and ?p separate for samples stored separately. By default samples are packed. |
|||
?c |
Use the specific compression algorithm to encoded image data in the output file: ?c packbits for Macintosh Packbits, ?c lzw for Lempel-Ziv & Welch, ?c zip for Deflate, ?c none for no compression. If no compression-related option is specified, the input file’s compression algorithm is used. |
|||
?r |
Explicitly specify the number of rows in each strip of the output file. If the ?r option is not specified, a number is selected such that each output strip has approximately 8 kilobytes of data in it. |
Only 8-bit images are handled. |
