This can be used to remove a noise bias +from a set of images. This bias image is typically an +image of noise the camera saw with its shutter closed. +.TP +.B \-B +Force output to be written with Big-Endian byte order. +This option only has an effect when the output file is created or +overwritten and not when it is appended to. +.TP +.B \-C +Suppress the use of ``strip chopping'' when reading images +that have a single strip/tile of uncompressed data. +.TP +.B \-c +Specify the compression to use for data written to the output file: +.B none +for no compression, +.B packbits +for PackBits compression, +.B lzw +for Lempel-Ziv & Welch compression, +.B zip +for Deflate compression, +.B lzma +for LZMA2 compression, +.B jpeg +for baseline JPEG compression, +.B g3 +for CCITT Group 3 (T.4) compression, +.B g4 +for CCITT Group 4 (T.6) compression, +or +.B sgilog +for SGILOG compression. +By default +.I tiffcp +will compress data according to the value of the +.I Compression +tag found in the source file. +.IP +The +.SM CCITT +Group 3 and Group 4 compression algorithms can only +be used with bilevel data. +.IP +Group 3 compression can be specified together with several +T.4-specific options: +.B 1d +for 1-dimensional encoding, +.B 2d +for 2-dimensional encoding, +and +.B fill +to force each encoded scanline to be zero-filled so that the +terminating EOL code lies on a byte boundary. +Group 3-specific options are specified by appending a ``:''-separated +list to the ``g3'' option; e.g. +.B "\-c g3:2d:fill" +to get 2D-encoded data with byte-aligned EOL codes. +.IP +.SM LZW, Deflate +and +.SM LZMA2 +compression can be specified together with a +.I predictor +value. A predictor value of 2 causes each scanline of the output image to +undergo horizontal differencing before it is encoded; a value of 1 forces each +scanline to be encoded without differencing. A value 3 is for floating point +predictor which you can use if the encoded data are in floating point format. +LZW-specific options are specified by appending a ``:''-separated list to the +``lzw'' option; e.g. +.B "\-c lzw:2" +for +.SM LZW +compression with horizontal differencing. +.IP +.SM Deflate +and +.SM LZMA2 +encoders support various compression levels (or encoder presets) set as +character ``p'' and a preset number. ``p1'' is the fastest one with the worst +compression ratio and ``p9'' is the slowest but with the best possible ratio; +e.g. +.B "\-c zip:3:p9" +for +.SM Deflate +encoding with maximum compression level and floating point predictor. +.TP +.B \-f +Specify the bit fill order to use in writing output data. +By default, +.I tiffcp +will create a new file with the same fill order as the original. +Specifying +.B "\-f lsb2msb" +will force data to be written with the FillOrder tag set to +.SM LSB2MSB, +while +.B "\-f msb2lsb" +will force data to be written with the FillOrder tag set to +.SM MSB2LSB. +.TP +.B \-i +Ignore non-fatal read errors and continue processing of the input file. +.TP +.B \-l +Specify the length of a tile (in pixels). +.I tiffcp +attempts to set the tile dimensions so +that no more than 8 kilobytes of data appear in a tile. +.TP +.B \-L +Force output to be written with Little-Endian byte order. +This option only has an effect when the output file is created or +overwritten and not when it is appended to. +.TP +.B \-M +Suppress the use of memory-mapped files when reading images. +.TP +.BI \-o " offset" +Set initial directory offset. +.TP +.B \-p +Specify the planar configuration to use in writing image data +that has one 8-bit sample per pixel. +By default, +.I tiffcp +will create a new file with the same planar configuration as +the original. +Specifying +.B "\-p contig" +will force data to be written with multi-sample data packed +together, while +.B "\-p separate" +will force samples to be written in separate planes. +.TP +.B \-r +Specify the number of rows (scanlines) in each strip of data +written to the output file. +By default (or when value +.B 0 +is specified), +.I tiffcp +attempts to set the rows/strip +that no more than 8 kilobytes of data appear in a strip. If you specify +special value +.B \-1 +it will results in infinite number of the rows per strip. The entire image +will be the one strip in that case. +.TP +.B \-s +Force the output file to be written with data organized in strips +(rather than tiles). +.TP +.B \-t +Force the output file to be written with data organized in tiles (rather than +strips). options can be used to force the resultant image to be written as +strips or tiles of data, respectively. +.TP +.B \-w +Specify the width of a tile (in pixels). +.I tiffcp +attempts to set the tile dimensions so that no more than 8 kilobytes of data +appear in a tile. +.I tiffcp +attempts to set the tile dimensions so that no more than 8 kilobytes of data +appear in a tile. +.TP +.B \-x +Force the output file to be written with PAGENUMBER value in sequence. +.TP +.B \-8 +Write BigTIFF instead of classic TIFF format. +.TP +.BI \-,= character +substitute +.I character +for `,' in parsing image directory indices +in files. This is necessary if filenames contain commas. +Note that +.B \-,= +with whitespace immediately following will disable +the special meaning of the `,' entirely. See examples. +.SH EXAMPLES +The following concatenates two files and writes the result using +.SM LZW +encoding: +.RS +.nf +tiffcp \-c lzw a.tif b.tif result.tif +.fi +.RE +.PP +To convert a G3 1d-encoded +.SM TIFF +to a single strip of G4-encoded data the following might be used: +.RS +.nf +tiffcp \-c g4 \-r 10000 g3.tif g4.tif +.fi +.RE +(1000 is just a number that is larger than the number of rows in +the source file.) + +To extract a selected set of images from a multi-image TIFF file, the file +name may be immediately followed by a `,' separated list of image directory +indices.
