12 This utility will convert a pseudo-color band on the input file into an
13 output RGB file of the desired format.
14
15 -of <format>
16 Select the output format. Starting with GDAL 2.3, if not speci‐
17 fied, the format is guessed from the extension (previously was
18 GTiff). Use the short format name.
19
20 -b <band>
21 Band to convert to RGB, defaults to 1.
22
23 -rgba Generate a RGBA file (instead of a RGB file by default).
24
25 -pct <palette_file>
26 Extract the color table from <palette_file> instead of getting
27 it from <source_file>. Can be used to have a consistent color
28 table for multiple files. The <palette_file> must be either a
29 raster file in a GDAL supported format with a palette or a color
30 file in a supported format (txt, qml, qlr).
31
32 <source_file>
33 The input file.
34
35 <dest_file>
36 The output RGB file that will be created.
37
38 NOTE: pct2rgb.py is a Python script, and will only work if GDAL was
39 built with Python support.
40
41 The '-expand rgb|rgba' option of gdal_translate obsoletes that utility.
