TIFF Utilities
DESCRIPTION
TIFF UTILITES is a small set of libraries and applications designed to read, write and manipulate TIFF images.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| tiffinfo | Display information about one or more TIFF files. |
| tiffdump | Display the verbatim contents of the TIFF directory in a file (it's very useful for debugging bogus files that you may get from someone that claims they support TIFF) |
| tiffcp | Copy, concatenate, and convert TIFF images (e.g. switching from compression=5 to compression=1) |
| tiff2ps | Convert TIFF images to PostScript |
| tiffcmp | Compare the contents of two TIFF files (it does not check all the directory information, but does check all the data) |
| tiff2bw | A simple program to convert a color image to grayscale |
| ras2tiff | A quick hack that converts Sun rasterfile format images to TIFF -- it's less than complete |
| rgb2ycbcr | Convert an RGB, grayscale, or bilevel TIFF image to a YCbCr TIFF image; it's mainly provided for testing |
| gif2tiff | A quick hack that converts GIF 87a format images to TIFF |
| ppm2tiff | A quick hack that converts PPM format images to TIFF |
| fax2tiff | Convert raw Group 3 or Group 4 facsimile data to TIFF |
| pal2rgb | Convert a Palette-style image to a full color RGB image by applying the colormap |
| tiffdither | Dither a b&w image into a bilevel image (suitable for use in creating fax files) |
| tiffsplit | Create one or more single-image files from a (possibly) multi-image file |
| fax2ps | Convert a Group 3- or Group 4- compressed TIFF to PostScript that is significantly more compressed than is generated by tiff2ps (unless tiff2ps writes PS Level II) |
| thumbnail | Copy a bilevel TIFF to one that includes 8-bit greyscale "thumbnail images" for each page; it is provided as an example of how one might use the SubIFD tag (and the library support for it). |
| tiffmedian | A version of Paul Heckbert's median cut program that reads an RGB TIFF image, and creates a TIFF palette file as a result; it's useful for converting full-color RGB images to 8-bit color for your friends that have cheapo 8-bit framebuffers. |
| sgi2tiff | A program to convert SGI image files to TIFF. This program is only useful on SGI machines as it uses -limage. |
