NAME
pfsintiff - Load images or frames in several variants of TIFF format
(both LDR and HDR)
SYNOPSIS
pfsintiff (<file> [--linear] [--frames <range>] [--skip-missing])
[<file>...]
DESCRIPTION
pfsintiff command loads images in TIFF format and writes pfs stream to
the Standard Output. The pfs stream is usually piped to another program
for further processing. To detect the format automatically based on the
extension, use pfsin command.
Both the standard LDR tiff and extended HDR (logLuv encoding
http://www.anyhere.com/gward/pixformat/tiffluv.html); Note that both
LDR and HDR tiff files provide photometric data (ie linearly related to
luminance). The ’LUMINANCE’ tag is set to ’RELATIVE’, also the
’--linear’ switch is ignored.
To read images from standard input use a single dash ’-’ instead of
filename. The images are read until EOF is reached.
Each file can contain a %d pattern, which is substituted with frame
numbers. The pattern has the same syntax as C printf command. For
example, you can use %04d to make the frame number four digit with
proceedings zeros. You can select the frames using the following
options (the options must be always given after the file name):
--frames <range>
Range is given in mathlab / octave format:
startframe:step:endframe
Frame numbers start with startframe (default 0), are increased
by step (default 1) and stop at endframe You can skip one of
those values, for example 1:100 for frames 1,2,...,100 and 0:2:
for frame 0,2,4,... up to the last file that exists.
--skip-missing
Skip up to ten frames in a row if corresponding files are
missing. Otherwise the program stops reading sequence at the
first file that does not exists. This switch does not apply to
the first frame in a sequence. This switch can be useful if
there is a rendered animation where some of the frame has not
been generated.
--linear
Ignored for compatibility with pfsinppm.
EXAMPLES
pfsintiff frame%04d.tif --frames 0:10 | pfsview
Read frames from files frame0000.tif, frame0001.tif, ...,
frame0010.tif and show them using pfsview.
