NAME

       pct2rgb - Convert 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 '-expand rgb|rgba' option of gdal_translate obsoletes that utility.
