54<p><i>tiff2ps</i> reads <small>TIFF</small> images and
55writes or Encapsulated (EPS) on the standard output. By
56default, <i>tiff2ps</i> writes Encapsulated for the first
57image in the specified <small>TIFF</small> image file.</p>
58<!-- INDENTATION -->
59<p>By default, <i>tiff2ps</i> will generate that fills a
60printed area specified by the <small>TIFF</small> tags in
61the input file. If the file does not contain
62<i>XResolution</i> or <i>YResolution</i> tags, then the
63printed area is set according to the image dimensions. The
64<b>&minus;w</b> and <b>&minus;h</b> options (see below) can
65be used to set the dimensions of the printed area in inches;
66overriding any relevant <small>TIFF</small> tags.</p>
67<!-- INDENTATION -->
68<p>The generated for <small>RGB,</small> palette, and
69<small>CMYK</small> images uses the <i>colorimage</i>
70operator. The generated for greyscale and bilevel images
71uses the <i>image</i> operator. When the <i>colorimage</i>
72operator is used, code to emulate this operator on older
73printers is also generated. Note that this emulation code
74can be very slow.</p>
75<!-- INDENTATION -->
76<p>Color images with associated alpha data are composited
77over a white background.</p>
