BMP2TIFF(1)BMP2TIFF(1)NAME
bmp2tiff - create a TIFF file from a Microsoft Windows Device Indepen‐
dent Bitmap image file
SYNOPSIS
bmp2tiff [ options ] input.bmp [input2.bmp ...] output.tiff
DESCRIPTION
bmp2tiff converts a Microsoft Windows Device Independent Bitmap image
file to TIFF. If several input BMP files are being specified the mul‐
tipage TIFF output file will be created. By default, the TIFF image is
created with data samples packed (PlanarConfiguration=1), compressed
with the PackBits algorithm (Compression=32773), and with each strip no
more than 8 kilobytes. These characteristics can overridden, or
explicitly specified with the options described below.
OPTIONS-c Specify a compression scheme to use when writing image data: -c
none for no compression, -c packbits for the PackBits compres‐
sion algorithm (the default), -c jpeg for the baseline JPEG com‐
pression algorithm, -c zip for the Deflate compression algo‐
rithm, and -c lzw for Lempel-Ziv & Welch.
-r <number>
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.
