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.
