PAL2RGB(1)PAL2RGB(1)NAMEpal2rgb - convert a palette color TIFF image to a full
color image
SYNOPSISpal2rgb [ options ] input.tif output.tif
DESCRIPTION
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
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 sep
arate 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 Mac
intosh 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 speci
fied, a number is selected such that each output
strip has approximately 8 kilobytes of data in it.
BUGS
Only 8-bit images are handled.
