NAME
     thumbnail - create a TIFF file with thumbnail images

SYNOPSIS
     thumbnail [ options ] input.tif output.tif

DESCRIPTION
     thumbnail	is  a  program	written to show how one might use the SubIFD tag
     (#330) to store thumbnail images.	thumbnail copies a TIFF Class F  facsim-
     ile  file	to the output file and for each image an 8-bit greyscale "thumb-
     nail sketch" is created.  The output file contains the thumbnail image with
     the associated full-resolution page linked below with the SubIFD tag.

     By default, thumbnail images are 216 pixels wide by 274 pixels high.   Pix-
     els  are  calculated  by  sampling  and filtering the input image with each
     pixel value passed through a contrast curve.

OPTIONS
     -w width
	    Specify the width of thumbnail images in pixels.

     -h height
	    Specify the height of thumbnail images in pixels.

     -c contrast
	    Specify a contrast curve to apply in generating  the  thumbnail  im-
	    ages.  By default pixels values are passed through a linear contrast
	    curve  that  simply maps the pixel value ranges.  Alternative curves
	    are:
			   +--------+------------------------+
			   | Curve  | Description	     |
			   +--------+------------------------+
			   | exp50  | 50% exponential curve  |
			   +--------+------------------------+
			   | exp60  | 60% exponential curve  |
			   +--------+------------------------+
			   | exp70  | 70% exponential curve  |
			   +--------+------------------------+
			   | exp80  | 80% exponential curve  |
			   +--------+------------------------+
			   | exp90  | 90% exponential curve  |
			   +--------+------------------------+
			   | exp    | pure exponential curve |
			   +--------+------------------------+
			   | linear | linear curve	     |
			   +--------+------------------------+

BUGS
     There are no options to control the format of the saved thumbnail images.
