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