NAME

       pct2rgb - pct2rgb.py 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 pseudocolor band on the input file into an output RGB file of
       the desired format.

       -of format:
           Format to generated (defaults to GeoTIFF).

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