+<p><i>tiff2ps</i> reads <small>TIFF</small> images and
+writes PostScript or Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) on the
+standard output. By default, <i>tiff2ps</i> writes
+Encapsulated PostScript for the first image in the specified
+<small>TIFF</small> image file.</p>
+<!-- INDENTATION -->
+<p>By default, <i>tiff2ps</i> will generate PostScript that
+fills a printed area specified by the <small>TIFF</small>
+tags in the input file. If the file does not contain
+<i>XResolution</i> or <i>YResolution</i> tags, then the
+printed area is set according to the image dimensions. The
+<b>&minus;w</b> and <b>&minus;h</b> options (see below) can
+be used to set the dimensions of the printed area in inches;
+overriding any relevant <small>TIFF</small> tags.</p>
+<!-- INDENTATION -->
+<p>The PostScript generated for <small>RGB,</small> palette,
+and <small>CMYK</small> images uses the <i>colorimage</i>
+operator. The PostScript generated for greyscale and bilevel
+images uses the <i>image</i> operator. When the
+<i>colorimage</i> operator is used, PostScript code to
+emulate this operator on older PostScript printers is also
+generated. Note that this emulation code can be very
+slow.</p>
+<!-- INDENTATION -->
+<p>Color images with associated alpha data are composited
+over a white background.</p>
