The output file contains the thumbnail image with the associated full-resolution page linked below with the SubIFD tag. <P> By default, thumbnail images are 216 pixels wide by 274 pixels high. Pixels are calculated by sampling and filtering the input image with each pixel value passed through a contrast curve. <A NAME="lbAE"> </A> <H2>OPTIONS</H2> <DL COMPACT> <DT><B>-w</B> <DD> Specify the width of thumbnail images in pixels. <DT><B>-h</B> <DD> Specify the height of thumbnail images in pixels. <DT><B>-c</B> <DD> Specify a contrast curve to apply in generating the thumbnail images. By default pixels values are passed through a linear contrast curve that simply maps the pixel value ranges. Alternative curves are: <B>exp50</B> for a 50% exponential curve, <B>exp60</B> for a 60% exponential curve, <B>exp70</B> for a 70% exponential curve, <B>exp80</B> for a 80% exponential curve, <B>exp90</B> for a 90% exponential curve, <B>exp</B> for a pure exponential curve, <B>linear</B> for a linear curve. </DL> <A NAME="lbAF"> </A> <H2>BUGS</H2> There are no options to control the format of the saved thumbnail images. <A NAME="lbAG"> </A> <H2>SEE ALSO</H2> <I><A HREF="tiffdump+1.html">tiffdump</A></I>(1), <I><A HREF="tiffgt+1.html">tiffgt</A></I>(1), <I><A HREF="tiffinfo+1.html">tiffinfo</A></I>(1), <I><A HREF="libtiff+3">libtiff</A></I>(3) <HR> <A NAME="index"> </A><H2>Index</H2> <DL> <DT><A HREF="#lbAB">NAME</A><DD> <DT><A HREF="#lbAC">SYNOPSIS</A><DD> <DT><A HREF="#lbAD">DESCRIPTION</A><DD> <DT><A HREF="#lbAE">OPTIONS</A><DD> <DT><A HREF="#lbAF">BUGS</A><DD> <DT><A HREF="#lbAG">SEE ALSO</A><DD> </DL> <HR> This document was created by <A HREF="index.html">man2html</A>, using the manual pages.<BR> Time: 01:31:47 GMT, November 23, 1999 </BODY> </HTML>
