NAME

       ra_pict - convert Radiance pictures to Macintosh PICT files

SYNOPSIS

       ra_pict [ -e +/- stops ] [ -v ] [ -g gamma ] [ infile [ outfile ]]

DESCRIPTION

       Ra_pict  converts a Radiance picture, as produced by rpict (1) to a Macintosh PICT file. The picture will
       be a 24 bit PICT 2 picture, using a single bit map (DirectRect).

OPTIONS

       -g gamma  This sets an explict gamma correction for the image. If it is not specified, the default  value
                 of 2.0 is used.

       -v        Invokes  verbose  mode, and gives line on standard error giving the size of the picture and the
                 gamma correction used.

       -e +/- stops
                 Adjusts the exposure by stops.

       infile    Specifies the file to read the picture from. If none is specified, it takes  it  from  standard
                 input. If standard input is used, then the picture is sent to standard output.

       outfile   Specifies  the  file  to  send  the  PICT file to. If none is specified, it is sent to standard
                 output.

EXAMPLES

           ra_pict mypict.hdr mypict.pict

       Will convert the Radiance picture mypict.hdr, giving the Macintosh PICT mypict.pict.

           ra_pict -g 2.2 mypict.hdr mypict.pict

       Will convert the file using a gamma of 2.2.

BUGS

       Does not yet do Macintosh PICT to Radiance PIC, as this PICT files are a lot more complex than  just  one
       bit map. This is left as an exercise for the reader :-)
