<h2>SYNOPSIS

<h2>DESCRIPTION
<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><i>Tiff2rgba</i>
converts a wide variety of TIFF images into an RGBA TIFF
image. This includes the ability to translate different
color spaces and photometric interpretation into RGBA,
support for alpha blending, and translation of many
different bit depths into a 32bit RGBA image.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Internally this
program is implemented using the <i>TIFFReadRGBAImage()</i>
function, and it suffers any limitations of that image. This
includes limited support for > 8 BitsPerSample images,
and flaws with some esoteric combinations of BitsPerSample,
photometric interpretation, block organization and planar
configuration.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The generated
images are stripped images with four samples per pixel (red,
green, blue and alpha) or if the <b>−n</b> flag is
used, three samples per pixel (red, green, and blue). The
resulting images are always planar configuration contiguous.
For this reason, this program is a useful utility for
transform exotic TIFF files into a form ingestible by almost
any TIFF supporting software.</p>
