  38 .SH DESCRIPTION
  39 .I Tiff2bw
  40 converts an
  41 .SM RGB
  42 or Palette color
  43 .SM TIFF
  44 image to a greyscale image by
  45 combining percentages of the red, green, and blue channels.
  46 By default, output samples are created by taking
  47 28% of the red channel, 59% of the green channel, and 11% of
  48 the blue channel.
  49 To alter these percentages, the
  50 .BR \-R ,
  51 .BR \-G ,
  52 and
  53 .BR \-B
  54 options may be used.
  55 .SH OPTIONS
  56 .TP
  57 .B \-c
  58 Specify a compression scheme to use when writing image data:
  59 .B "\-c none"
  60 for no compression,
  61 .B "\-c packbits"
  62 for the PackBits compression algorithm,
  63 .B "\-c zip
  64 for the Deflate compression algorithm,
  65 .B "\-c g3
  66 for the CCITT Group 3 compression algorithm,
  67 .B "\-c g4
  68 for the CCITT Group 4 compression algorithm,
  69 and
  70 .B "\-c lzw"
  71 for Lempel-Ziv & Welch (the default).
  72 .TP
  73 .B \-r
  74 Write data with a specified number of rows per strip;
  75 by default the number of rows/strip is selected so that each strip
  76 is approximately 8 kilobytes.
