This includes the ability to translate different color spaces and photometric interpretation into RGBA, support for alpha blending, and translation of many different bit depths into a 32bit RGBA image.</p> <!-- INDENTATION --> <p>Internally this program is implemented using the <i>TIFFReadRGBAImage()</i> function, and it suffers any limitations of that image. This includes limited support for > 8 BitsPerSample images, and flaws with some esoteric combinations of BitsPerSample, photometric interpretation, block organization and planar configuration.</p> <!-- INDENTATION --> <p>The generated images are stripped images with four samples per pixel (red, green, blue and alpha) or if the <b>−n</b> flag is used, three samples per pixel (red, green, and blue). The resulting images are always planar configuration contiguous. For this reason, this program is a useful utility for transform exotic TIFF files into a form ingestible by almost any TIFF supporting software.</p> </td> </table> <a name="OPTIONS"></a> <h2>OPTIONS</h2> <!-- TABS --> <table width="100%" border=0 rules="none" frame="void" cols="5" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr valign="top" align="left"> <td width="11%"></td> <td width="2%"> <p><b>−c</b></p> </td> <td width="5%"></td> <td width="80%"> <p>Specify a compression scheme to use when writing image data: <b>−c none</b> for no compression (the default), <b>−c packbits</b> for the PackBits compression algorithm, <b>−c zip</b> for the Deflate compression algorithm, <b>−c jpeg</b> for the JPEG compression algorithm, and <b>−c lzw</b> for Lempel-Ziv & Welch.</p> </td> <td width="0%"> </td> <tr valign="top" align="left"> <td width="11%"></td> <td width="2%"> <p><b>−r</b></p> </td> <td width="5%"></td> <td width="80%"> <p>Write data with a specified number of rows per strip; by default the number of rows/strip is selected so that each strip is approximately 8 kilobytes.</p> </td> <td width="0%"> </td> <tr valign="top" align="left"> <td width="11%"></td> <td width="2%"> <p><b>−b</b></p> </td> <td width="5%"></td> <td width="80%"> <p>Process the image one block (strip/tile) at a time instead of by reading the whole image into memory at once.
