  26 .TH PAL2RGB 1 "September 20, 2005" "libtiff"
  27 .SH NAME
  28 pal2rgb \- convert a palette color
  29 .SM TIFF
  30 image to a full color image
  31 .SH SYNOPSIS
  32 .B pal2rgb
  33 [
  34 .I options
  35 ]
  36 .I input.tif
  37 .I output.tif
  38 .SH DESCRIPTION
  39 .I Pal2rgb
  40 converts a palette color
  41 .SM TIFF
  42 image to a full color image by
  43 applying the colormap of the palette image to each sample
  44 to generate a full color
  45 .SM RGB
  46 image.
  47 .SH OPTIONS
  48 Options that affect the interpretation of input data are:
  49 .TP
  50 .B \-C
  51 This option overrides the default behavior of
  52 .I pal2rgb
  53 in determining whether or not
  54 colormap entries contain 16-bit or 8-bit values.
  55 By default the colormap is inspected and
  56 if no colormap entry greater than 255 is found,
  57 the colormap is assumed to have only 8-bit values; otherwise
  58 16-bit values (as required by the
  59 .SM TIFF
  60 specification) are assumed.
  61 The
  62 .B \-C
  63 option can be used to explicitly specify the number of
  64 bits for colormap entries:
  65 .B "\-C 8"
  66 for 8-bit values,
  67 .B "\-C 16"
  68 for 16-bit values.
  69 .PP
  70 Options that affect the output file format are:
  71 .TP
  72 .B \-p
  73 Explicitly select the planar configuration used in organizing
  74 data samples in the output image:
  75 .B "\-p contig"
  76 for samples packed contiguously, and
  77 .B "\-p separate"
  78 for samples stored separately.
  79 By default samples are packed.
  80 .TP
  81 .B \-c
  82 Use the specific compression algorithm to encoded image data
  83 in the output file:
  84 .B "\-c packbits"
  85 for Macintosh Packbits,
  86 .B "\-c lzw"
  87 for Lempel-Ziv & Welch,
  88 .B "\-c zip"
  89 for Deflate,
  90 .B "\-c none"
  91 for no compression.
  92 If no compression-related option is specified, the input
  93 file's compression algorithm is used.
  94 .TP
  95 .B \-r
  96 Explicitly specify the number of rows in each strip of the
  97 output file.
  98 If the
  99 .B \-r
 100 option is not specified, a number is selected such that each
 101 output strip has approximately 8 kilobytes of data in it.
 102 .SH BUGS
 103 Only 8-bit images are handled.
