NAME

       ra_pict - convert Radiance pictures to Macintosh PICT files

SYNOPSIS

       ra_pict [ -e +/- stops ] [ -v ] [ -g gamma ] [ infile [ outfile ]]

DESCRIPTION

       Ra_pict  converts  a  Radiance picture, as produced by rpict (1) to a Macintosh PICT file.
       The picture will be a 24 bit PICT 2 picture, using a single bit map (DirectRect).

OPTIONS

       -g gamma  This sets an explict gamma correction for the image. If it is not specified, the
                 default value of 2.0 is used.

       -v        Invokes  verbose  mode,  and gives line on standard error giving the size of the
                 picture and the gamma correction used.

       -e +/- stops
                 Adjusts the exposure by stops.

       infile    Specifies the file to read the picture from. If none is specified, it  takes  it
                 from  standard  input.  If  standard  input is used, then the picture is sent to
                 standard output.

       outfile   Specifies the file to send the PICT file to. If none is specified, it is sent to
                 standard output.

EXAMPLES

           ra_pict mypict.hdr mypict.pict

       Will convert the Radiance picture mypict.hdr, giving the Macintosh PICT mypict.pict.

           ra_pict -g 2.2 mypict.hdr mypict.pict

       Will convert the file using a gamma of 2.2.

BUGS

       Does  not yet do Macintosh PICT to Radiance PIC, as this PICT files are a lot more complex
       than just one bit map. This is left as an exercise for the reader :-)
