51<p><i>Tiff2rgba</i> converts a wide variety of TIFF images
52into an RGBA TIFF image. This includes the ability to
53translate different color spaces and photometric
54interpretation into RGBA, support for alpha blending, and
55translation of many different bit depths into a 32bit RGBA
56image.</p>
57<!-- INDENTATION -->
58<p>Internally this program is implemented using the
59<i>TIFFReadRGBAImage()</i> function, and it suffers any
60limitations of that image. This includes limited support for
61&gt; 8 BitsPerSample images, and flaws with some esoteric
62combinations of BitsPerSample, photometric interpretation,
63block organization and planar configuration.</p>
64<!-- INDENTATION -->
65<p>The generated images are stripped images with four
80ed523f
VZ
66samples per pixel (red, green, blue and alpha) or if the
67<b>&minus;n</b> flag is used, three samples per pixel (red,
68green, and blue). The resulting images are always planar
69configuration contiguous. For this reason, this program is a
70useful utility for transform exotic TIFF files into a form
8414a40c
VZ
71ingestible by almost any TIFF supporting software.</p>
