BMP2TIFF(1)                                                        BMP2TIFF(1)



NAME
       bmp2tiff - create a TIFF file from a Microsoft Windows Device
       Independent 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
       multipage 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
              compression algorithm (the default), -c jpeg for the baseline
              JPEG compression algorithm, -c zip for the Deflate compression
              algorithm, 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.
