29.SM TIFF
30file with thumbnail images
31.SH SYNOPSIS

34.I options
35]
36.I input.tif
37.I output.tif
38.SH DESCRIPTION
39.I thumbnail
40is a program written to show how one might use the
41SubIFD tag (#330) to store thumbnail images.
42.I thumbnail
43copies a
44.SM TIFF
45Class F facsimile file to the output file
46and for each image an 8-bit greyscale
47.IR "thumbnail sketch" .
48The output file contains the thumbnail image with the associated
49full-resolution page linked below with the SubIFD tag.
50.PP
51By default, thumbnail images are 216 pixels wide by 274 pixels high.
52Pixels are calculated by sampling and filtering the input image
53with each pixel value passed through a contrast curve.
54.SH OPTIONS
55.TP
56.B \-w
57Specify the width of thumbnail images in pixels.
58.TP
59.B \-h
60Specify the height of thumbnail images in pixels.
61.TP
62.B \-c
63Specify a contrast curve to apply in generating the thumbnail images.
64By default pixels values are passed through a linear contrast curve
65that simply maps the pixel value ranges.
66Alternative curves are:
67.B exp50
68for a 50% exponential curve,
69.B exp60
70for a 60% exponential curve,
71.B exp70
72for a 70% exponential curve,
73.B exp80
74for a 80% exponential curve,
75.B exp90
76for a 90% exponential curve,
77.B exp
78for a pure exponential curve,
79.B linear
80for a linear curve.
81.SH BUGS
82There are no options to control the format of the saved thumbnail images.
