NAME

       pfsintiff - Load images or frames in several variants of TIFF format (both LDR and HDR)

SYNOPSIS

       pfsintiff (<file> [--linear] [--frames <range>] [--skip-missing])  [<file>...]

DESCRIPTION

       pfsintiff  command  loads  images  in  TIFF  format and writes pfs stream to the Standard Output. The pfs
       stream is usually piped to another program for further processing. To  detect  the  format  automatically
       based on the extension, use pfsin command.

       Both      the      standard      LDR      tiff      and      extended      HDR      (logLuv      encoding
       http://www.anyhere.com/gward/pixformat/tiffluv.html); Note that both  LDR  and  HDR  tiff  files  provide
       photometric  data  (ie linearly related to luminance). The 'LUMINANCE' tag is set to 'RELATIVE', also the
       '--linear' switch is ignored.

       To read images from standard input use a single dash '-' instead of filename. The images are  read  until
       EOF is reached.

       Each  file  can  contain  a %d pattern, which is substituted with frame numbers. The pattern has the same
       syntax as C printf command. For example, you can use %04d to  make  the  frame  number  four  digit  with
       proceedings  zeros.  You  can  select  the frames using the following options (the options must be always
       given after the file name):

       --frames <range>
              Range is given in mathlab / octave format:

              startframe:step:endframe

              Frame numbers start with startframe (default 0), are increased by step (default  1)  and  stop  at
              endframe  You  can skip one of those values, for example 1:100 for frames 1,2,...,100 and 0:2: for
              frame 0,2,4,... up to the last file that exists.

       --skip-missing
              Skip up to ten frames in a row if corresponding files are missing.  Otherwise  the  program  stops
              reading  sequence  at the first file that does not exists. This switch does not apply to the first
              frame in a sequence. This switch can be useful if there is a rendered animation where some of  the
              frame has not been generated.

       --linear
              Ignored for compatibility with pfsinppm.

EXAMPLES

       pfsintiff frame%04d.tif --frames 0:10 | pfsview

              Read  frames  from  files  frame0000.tif,  frame0001.tif,  ...,  frame0010.tif and show them using
              pfsview.
