SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

13       bmp2tiff converts a Microsoft Windows Device Independent  Bitmap  image
14       file  to TIFF.  If several input BMP files are being specified the mul‐
15       tipage TIFF output file will be created. By default, the TIFF image  is
16       created  with  data  samples packed (PlanarConfiguration=1), compressed
17       with the PackBits algorithm (Compression=32773), and with each strip no
18       more  than  8  kilobytes.   These  characteristics  can  overridden, or
19       explicitly specified with the options described below.

OPTIONS

22       -c     Specify a compression scheme to use when writing image data:  -c
23              none  for  no compression, -c packbits for the PackBits compres‐
24              sion algorithm (the default), -c jpeg for the baseline JPEG com‐
25              pression  algorithm,  -c  zip  for the Deflate compression algo‐
26              rithm, and -c lzw for Lempel-Ziv & Welch.
27
28       -r number
29              Write data with a specified number of rows per strip; by default
30              the  number  of  rows/strip  is  selected  so that each strip is
31              approximately 8 kilobytes.
