NAME
bmp2tiff - create a TIFF file from a Microsoft Windows Device
Independent Bitmap image file
SYNOPSIS
bmp2tiff [ options ] input.bmp [ input2.bmp ... ] output.tiff
DESCRIPTION
bmp2tiff converts a Microsoft Windows Device Independent Bitmap image
file to TIFF. If several input BMP files are being specified the
multipage TIFF output file will be created. By default, the TIFF image
is created with data samples packed (PlanarConfiguration=1), compressed
with the PackBits algorithm (Compression=32773), and with each strip no
more than 8 kilobytes. These characteristics can overridden, or
explicitly specified with the options described below.
OPTIONS
-c Specify a compression scheme to use when writing image data: -c
none for no compression, -c packbits for the PackBits
compression algorithm (the default), -c jpeg for the baseline
JPEG compression algorithm, -c zip for the Deflate compression
algorithm, and -c lzw for Lempel-Ziv & Welch.
-r number
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.
