tiff2bw − convert a color TIFF image to greyscale |
tiff2bw [ options ] input.tif output.tif |
Tiff2bw converts an RGB or Palette color TIFF image to a greyscale image by combining percentages of the red, green, and blue channels. By default, output samples are created by taking 28% of the red channel, 59% of the green channel, and 11% of the blue channel. To alter these percentages, the −R, −G, and −B options may be used. |
−c |
Specify a compression scheme to use when writing image data: −c none for no compression, −c packbits for the PackBits compression algorithm, −c zip for the Deflate compression algorithm, −c g3 for the CCITT Group 3 compression algorithm, −c g4 for the CCITT Group 4 compression algorithm, and −c lzw for Lempel-Ziv & Welch (the default). |
|||
−r |
Write data with a specified number of rows per strip; by default the number of rows/strip is selected so that each strip is approximately 8 kilobytes. |
|||
−R |
Specify the percentage of the red channel to use (default 28). |
|||
−G |
Specify the percentage of the green channel to use (default 59). |
|||
−B |
Specify the percentage of the blue channel to use (default 11). |
