By default, output samples are created by taking 28% of the red channel, 59% of the green channel, and 11% of the blue channel. To alter these percentages, the <B>-R</B>, <B>-G</B>, and <B>-B</B> options may be used. <A NAME="lbAE"> </A> <H2>OPTIONS</H2> <DL COMPACT> <DT><B>-c</B> <DD> Specify a compression scheme to use when writing image data: <B>-c none</B> for no compression, <B>-c packbits</B> for the PackBits compression algorithm, <B>-c zip</B> for the Deflate compression algorithm, <B>-c g3</B> for the CCITT Group 3 compression algorithm, <B>-c g4</B> for the CCITT Group 4 compression algorithm, and <B>-c lzw</B> for Lempel-Ziv & Welch (the default). <DT><B>-r</B> <DD> 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. <DT><B>-R</B> <DD> Specify the percentage of the red channel to use (default 28). <DT><B>-G</B> <DD> Specify the percentage of the green channel to use (default 59). <DT><B>-B</B> <DD> Specify the percentage of the blue channel to use (default 11). </DL> <A NAME="lbAF"> </A> <H2>SEE ALSO</H2> <I><A HREF="pal2rgb+1.html">pal2rgb</A></I>(1), <I><A HREF="tiffinfo+1.html">tiffinfo</A></I>(1), <I><A HREF="tiffcp+1.html">tiffcp</A></I>(1), <I><A HREF="tiffmedian+1.html">tiffmedian</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">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>
