| 27 | .SH NAME |
| 28 | thumbnail \- create a |
| 29 | .SM TIFF |
| 30 | file with thumbnail images |
| 31 | .SH SYNOPSIS |
| 32 | .B thumbnail |
| 33 | [ |
| 34 | .I options |
| 35 | ] |
| 36 | .I input.tif |
| 37 | .I output.tif |
| 38 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
| 39 | .I thumbnail |
| 40 | is a program written to show how one might use the |
| 41 | SubIFD tag (#330) to store thumbnail images. |
| 42 | .I thumbnail |
| 43 | copies a |
| 44 | .SM TIFF |
| 45 | Class F facsimile file to the output file |
| 46 | and for each image an 8-bit greyscale |
| 47 | .IR "thumbnail sketch" . |
| 48 | The output file contains the thumbnail image with the associated |
| 49 | full-resolution page linked below with the SubIFD tag. |
| 50 | .PP |
| 51 | By default, thumbnail images are 216 pixels wide by 274 pixels high. |
| 52 | Pixels are calculated by sampling and filtering the input image |
| 53 | with each pixel value passed through a contrast curve. |
| 54 | .SH OPTIONS |
| 55 | .TP |
| 56 | .B \-w |
| 57 | Specify the width of thumbnail images in pixels. |
| 58 | .TP |
| 59 | .B \-h |
| 60 | Specify the height of thumbnail images in pixels. |
| 61 | .TP |
| 62 | .B \-c |
| 63 | Specify a contrast curve to apply in generating the thumbnail images. |
| 64 | By default pixels values are passed through a linear contrast curve |
| 65 | that simply maps the pixel value ranges. |
| 66 | Alternative curves are: |
| 67 | .B exp50 |
| 68 | for a 50% exponential curve, |
| 69 | .B exp60 |
| 70 | for a 60% exponential curve, |
| 71 | .B exp70 |
| 72 | for a 70% exponential curve, |
| 73 | .B exp80 |
| 74 | for a 80% exponential curve, |
| 75 | .B exp90 |
| 76 | for a 90% exponential curve, |
| 77 | .B exp |
| 78 | for a pure exponential curve, |
| 79 | .B linear |
| 80 | for a linear curve. |
| 81 | .SH BUGS |
| 82 | There are no options to control the format of the saved thumbnail images. |
