PAL2RGB(1)			     LibTIFF			      PAL2RGB(1)

NAME
     pal2rgb - convert a palette color TIFF image to a full color image

SYNOPSIS
     pal2rgb [ options ] input.tif output.tif

DESCRIPTION
     pal2rgb  converts	a  palette color image to a full color image by applying
     the colormap of the palette image to each sample to generate a  full  color
     RGB image.

OPTIONS
     Options that affect the interpretation of input data are:

     -C numentries
	    This option overrides the default behavior of pal2rgb in determining
	    whether  or not colormap entries contain 16-bit or 8-bit values.  By
	    default the colormap is inspected and if no colormap  entry  greater
	    than  255  is found, the colormap is assumed to have only 8-bit val-
	    ues; otherwise 16-bit values (as required by the TIFF specification)
	    are assumed.  The -C option can be used to	explicitly  specify  the
	    number  of	bits  for colormap entries: -C 8 for 8-bit values, -C 16
	    for 16-bit values.

     Options that affect the output file format are:

     -p planarconfig
	    Explicitly select the planar configuration used in	organizing  data
	    samples  in  the output image: -p contig for samples packed contigu-
	    ously, and -p separate for samples stored  separately.   By  default
	    samples are packed.

     -c compress
	    Use the specified compression algorithm to encoded image data in the
	    output  file:  -c  packbits  for Macintosh Packbits, -c lzw for Lem-
	    pel-Ziv & Welch, -c zip for Deflate, -c none for no compression.  If
	    no compression-related option is specified, the  input  file's  com-
	    pression algorithm is used.

     -r striprows
	    Explicitly	specify  the  number of rows in each strip of the output
	    file. If the -r option is not specified, a number is  selected  such
	    that each output strip has approximately 8 kilobytes of data in it.

BUGS
     Only 8-bit images are handled.
