NAME

6       pfsintiff  -  Load  images or frames in several variants of TIFF format
7       (both LDR and HDR)
8

SYNOPSIS

10       pfsintiff  (<file>  [--linear]  [--frames  <range>]   [--skip-missing])
11       [<file>...]

DESCRIPTION

14       pfsintiff  command loads images in TIFF format and writes pfs stream to
15       the Standard Output. The pfs stream is usually piped to another program
16       for further processing. To detect the format automatically based on the
17       extension, use pfsin command.
18
19       Both  the  standard  LDR  tiff  and  extended  HDR   (logLuv   encoding
20       http://www.anyhere.com/gward/pixformat/tiffluv.html);  Note  that  both
21       LDR and HDR tiff files provide photometric data (ie linearly related to
22       luminance).  The 'LUMINANCE' tag is set to 'RELATIVE', also the '--lin‐
23       ear' switch is ignored.
24
25       To read images from standard input use a single  dash  '-'  instead  of
26       filename. The images are read until EOF is reached.
27
28       Each  file  can  contain  a %d pattern, which is substituted with frame
29       numbers. The pattern has the same syntax as C printf command. For exam‐
30       ple, you can use %04d to make the frame number four digit with proceed‐
31       ings zeros. You can select the frames using the following options  (the
32       options must be always given after the file name):
33
34
35       --frames <range>
36              Range is given in mathlab / octave format:
37
38              startframe:step:endframe
39
40              Frame  numbers  start with startframe (default 0), are increased
41              by step (default 1) and stop at endframe You  can  skip  one  of
42              those  values, for example 1:100 for frames 1,2,...,100 and 0:2:
43              for frame 0,2,4,... up to the last file that exists.
44
45
46       --skip-missing
47              Skip up to ten frames in a row if corresponding files are  miss‐
48              ing.  Otherwise  the program stops reading sequence at the first
49              file that does not exists. This switch does  not  apply  to  the
50              first frame in a sequence. This switch can be useful if there is
51              a rendered animation where some of the frame has not been gener‐
52              ated.
53
54
55       --linear
56              Ignored for compatibility with pfsinppm.

EXAMPLES

60       pfsintiff frame%04d.tif --frames 0:10 | pfsview
61
62              Read   frames  from  files  frame0000.tif,  frame0001.tif,  ...,
63              frame0010.tif and show them using pfsview.
