NAME

       pfmtopam - Convert PFM (Portable Float Map) image to Netpbm format

SYNOPSIS

       pfmtopam [-maxval=n] [-verbose] [imagefile]

       All  options  can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix.  You may use two hyphens
       instead of one.  You may separate an option name and its value with white space instead of
       an equals sign.

DESCRIPTION

       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       pfmtopam reads a PFM (Portable Float Map) image and converts it to PAM.

       See pamtopfm(1) for a description of PFM.

       If  you  want  one  of  the  older,  more  portable Netpbm formats, run the output through
       pamtopnm.

       pamtopfm creates a PAM with tuple type "RGB" or "GRAYSCALE" depending on  whether  or  not
       the PFM is in the color subformat.

       Use pamtopfm(1) to convert a PFM image to Netpbm format.

OPTIONS

       In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (most notably -quiet,
       see
        Common Options ⟨index.html#commonoptions⟩ ), pfmtopam recognizes  the  following  command
       line options:

       -maxval=n

              This specifies the maxval for the PAM.  Default is 255.

       -verbose

              This causes pfmtopam to display messages describing
                   the PFM input file.
