-.SH NAME
-tiff2ps \- convert a
-.SM TIFF
-image to \*(Ps\*(Tm
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B tiff2ps
-[
-.I options
-]
-.I "input.tif ..."
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.I tiff2ps
-reads
-.SM TIFF
-images and writes \*(Ps or Encapsulated \*(Ps (EPS)
-on the standard output.
-By default,
-.I tiff2ps
-writes Encapsulated \*(Ps for the first image in the specified
-.SM TIFF
-image file.
-.PP
-By default,
-.I tiff2ps
-will generate \*(Ps that fills a printed area specified
-by the
-.SM TIFF
-tags in the input file.
-If the file does not contain
-.I XResolution
-or
-.I YResolution
-tags, then the printed area is set according to the image dimensions.
-The
-.B \-w
-and
-.B \-h
-options (see below)
-can be used to set the dimensions of the printed area in inches;
-overriding any relevant
-.SM TIFF
-tags.
-.PP
-The \*(Ps generated for
-.SM RGB,
-palette, and
-.SM CMYK
-images uses the
-.I colorimage
-operator.
-The \*(Ps generated for
-greyscale and bilevel images
-uses the
-.I image
-operator.
-When the
-.I colorimage
-operator is used, \*(Ps code to emulate this operator
-on older \*(Ps printers is also generated.
-Note that this emulation code can be very slow.
-.PP
-Color images with associated alpha data are composited over
-a white background.
-.SH OPTIONS
-.TP
-.B \-1
-Generate \*(Ps Level 1 (the default).
-.TP
-.B \-2
-Generate \*(Ps Level 2.
-.TP
-.B \-3
-Generate \*(Ps Level 3. It basically allows one to use the /flateDecode
-filter for ZIP compressed TIFF images.
-.TP
-.B \-a
-Generate output for all IFDs (pages) in the input file.
-.TP
-.B \-b
-Specify the bottom margin for the output (in inches). This does not affect
-the height of the printed image.
-.TP
-.B \-c
-Center the image in the output. This option only shows an effect if both
-the
-.B \-w
-and the
-.B \-h
-option are given.
-.TP
-.B \-d
-Set the initial
-.SM TIFF
-directory to the specified directory number.
-(NB: Directories are numbered starting at zero.)
-This option is useful for selecting individual pages in a
-multi-page (e.g. facsimile) file.
-.TP
-.B \-e
-Force the generation of Encapsulated \*(Ps (implies
-.BR \-z ).
-.TP
-.B \-h
-Specify the vertical size of the printed area (in inches).
-.TP
-.B \-H
-Specify the maximum height of image (in inches). Images with larger sizes will
-be split in several pages. Option
-.B \-L
-may be used for specifying size of split images overlapping.
-.TP
-.B \-W
-Specify the maximum width of image (in inches). Images with larger sizes will
-be split in several pages. Options
-.B \-L
-and
-.B \-W
-are mutually exclusive.
-.B \-i
-Enable/disable pixel interpolation. This option requires a
-single numeric value: zero to disable pixel interpolation and
-non-zero to enable. The default is enabled.
-.TP
-.B \-L
-Specify the size of overlapping for split images (in inches). Used in
-conjunction with
-.B \-H
-option.
-.TP
-.B \-l
-Specify the left margin for the output (in inches). This does not affect
-the width of the printed image.
-.TP
-.B \-m
-Where possible render using the
-.I imagemask
-\*(Ps operator instead of the
-.I image
-operator. When this option is specified
-.I tiff2ps
-will use
-.I imagemask
-for rendering 1 bit deep images. If this option is not specified
-or if the image depth is greater than 1 then the
-.I image
-operator is used.
-.TP
-.B \-o
-Set the initial
-.SM TIFF
-directory to the
-.SM IFD
-at the specified file offset.
-This option is useful for selecting thumbnail images and the
-like which are hidden using the
-.I SubIFD
-tag.
-.TP
-.B \-p
-Force the generation of (non-Encapsulated) \*(Ps.
-.TP
-.B \-r
-Rotate image by 180 degrees.
-.TP
-.B \-s
-Generate output for a single IFD (page) in the input file.
-.TP
-.B \-w
-Specify the horizontal size of the printed area (in inches).
-.TP
-.B \-x
-Override resolution units specified in the TIFF as centimeters.
-.TP
-.B \-y
-Override resolution units specified in the TIFF as inches.
-.TP
-.B \-z
-When generating \*(Ps Level 2, data is scaled so that it does not
-image into the
-.I deadzone
-on a page (the outer margin that the printing device is unable to mark).
-This option suppresses this behavior.
-When \*(Ps Level 1 is generated, data is imaged to the entire printed
-page and this option has no affect.
-.SH EXAMPLES
-The following generates \*(Ps Level 2 for all pages of a facsimile:
-.RS
-.nf
-tiff2ps \-a2 fax.tif | lpr
-.fi
-.RE
-Note also that if you have version 2.6.1 or newer of Ghostscript then you
-can efficiently preview facsimile generated with the above command.
-.PP
-To generate Encapsulated \*(Ps for a the image at directory 2
-of an image use:
-.RS
-.nf
-tiff2ps \-d 1 foo.tif
-.fi
-.RE
-(Notice that directories are numbered starting at zero.)
-.PP
-If you have a long image, it may be split in several pages:
-.RS
-.nf
-tiff2ps \-h11 \-w8.5 \-H14 \-L.5 foo.tif > foo.ps
-.fi
-.RE
-The page size is set to 8.5x11 by
-.B \-w
-and
-.B \-h
-options. We will accept a small amount of vertical compression, so
-.B \-H
-set to 14. Any pages between 11 and 14 inches will be fit onto one page.
-Pages longer than 14 inches are cut off at 11 and continued on the next
-page. The
-.B \-L.5
-option says to repeat a half inch on the next page (to improve readability).
-.SH BUGS
-Because \*(Ps does not support the notion of a colormap,
-8-bit palette images produce 24-bit \*(Ps images.
-This conversion results in output that is six times
-bigger than the original image and which takes a long time
-to send to a printer over a serial line.
-Matters are even worse for 4-, 2-, and 1-bit palette images.
-.PP
-Does not handle tiled images when generating \*(Ps Level I output.
