NAME

       ra_pict - convert Radiance pictures to Macintosh PICT files

SYNOPSIS

       ra_pict [ -e +/- stops ] [ -v ] [ -g gamma ] [ infile [ outfile ]]

DESCRIPTION

       Ra_pict  converts  a  Radiance  picture,  as produced by rpict (1) to a
       Macintosh PICT file. The picture will be a 24 bit PICT 2 picture, using
       a single bit map (DirectRect).

OPTIONS

       -g gamma  This sets an explict gamma correction for the image. If it is
                 not specified, the default value of 2.0 is used.

       -v        Invokes verbose mode, and gives line on standard error giving
                 the size of the picture and the gamma correction used.

       -e +/- stops
                 Adjusts the exposure by stops.

       infile    Specifies  the  file  to  read  the  picture from. If none is
                 specified, it takes it from standard input. If standard input
                 is used, then the picture is sent to standard output.

       outfile   Specifies  the  file  to  send  the  PICT file to. If none is
                 specified, it is sent to standard output.

EXAMPLES

           ra_pict mypict.hdr mypict.pict

       Will convert the Radiance picture mypict.hdr, giving the Macintosh PICT
       mypict.pict.

           ra_pict -g 2.2 mypict.hdr mypict.pict

       Will convert the file using a gamma of 2.2.

BUGS

       Does  not yet do Macintosh PICT to Radiance PIC, as this PICT files are
       a lot more complex than just one bit map. This is left as  an  exercise
       for the reader :-)
