NAME

       bmp2tiff - create a TIFF file from a Microsoft Windows Device Independent Bitmap image file

SYNOPSIS

       bmp2tiff [ options ] input.bmp [ input2.bmp ... ] output.tiff

DESCRIPTION

       bmp2tiff converts a Microsoft Windows Device Independent Bitmap image file to TIFF.  If several input BMP
       files are being specified the multipage TIFF output file will be created. By default, the TIFF  image  is
       created  with  data  samples  packed  (PlanarConfiguration=1),  compressed  with  the  PackBits algorithm
       (Compression=32773), and with each strip no more than 8 kilobytes.  These characteristics can overridden,
       or explicitly specified with the options described below.

OPTIONS

       -c     Specify  a  compression  scheme  to  use  when  writing image data: -c none for no compression, -c
              packbits for the PackBits compression algorithm (the default),  -c  jpeg  for  the  baseline  JPEG
              compression  algorithm,  -c zip for the Deflate compression algorithm, and -c lzw for Lempel-Ziv &
              Welch.

       -r number
              Write data with a specified number of rows per strip; by  default  the  number  of  rows/strip  is
              selected so that each strip is approximately 8 kilobytes.
