  52 <p><i>tiffmedian</i> applies the median cut algorithm to an
  53 <small>RGB</small> image in <i>input.tif</i> to generate a
  54 palette image that is written to <i>output.tif</i>. The
  55 generated colormap has, by default, 256 entries. The image
  56 data is quantized by mapping each pixel to the closest color
  57 values in the colormap.</p>

  91 <p><small>LZW</small> compression can be specified together
  92 with a <i>predictor</i> value. A predictor value of 2 causes
  93 each scanline of the output image to undergo horizontal
  94 differencing before it is encoded; a value of 1 forces each
  95 scanline to be encoded without differencing. LZW-specific
  96 options are specified by appending a
  97 &lsquo;&lsquo;:&rsquo;&rsquo;-separated list to the
  98 &lsquo;&lsquo;lzw&rsquo;&rsquo; option; e.g. <b>&minus;c
