NAME

       pct2rgbConvert an 8bit paletted image to 24bit RGB.

SYNOPSIS

       pct2rgb.py [-of format] [-b band] [-rgba] source_file dest_file

DESCRIPTION

       This utility will convert a pseudo-color band on the input file into an output RGB file of the desired
       format.

       -of format:
           Select the output format. Starting with GDAL 2.3, if not specified, the format is guessed from the
           extension (previously was GTiff). Use the short format name

       -b band:
           Band to convert to RGB, defaults to 1.

       -rgba:
           Generate a RGBA file (instead of a RGB file by default).

       source_file:
           The input file.

       dest_file:
           The output RGB file that will be created.

       NOTE: pct2rgb.py is a Python script, and will only work if GDAL was built with Python support.

       The new '-expand rgb|rgba' option of gdal_translate obsoletes that utility.
