<h2>DESCRIPTION
<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><i>Pal2rgb</i>
converts a palette color <small>TIFF</small> image to a full
color image by applying the colormap of the palette image to
each sample to generate a full color <small>RGB</small>
image.</p>
<h2>OPTIONS
<a name="OPTIONS"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Options that
affect the interpretation of input data are:</p>
<table width="100%" border="0" rules="none" frame="void"
cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr valign="top" align="left">
<td width="11%"></td>
<td width="3%">
<p><b>−C</b></p></td>
<td width="8%"></td>
<td width="78%">
<p>This option overrides the default behavior of
<i>pal2rgb</i> in determining whether or not colormap
entries contain 16-bit or 8-bit values. By default the
colormap is inspected and if no colormap entry greater than
255 is found, the colormap is assumed to have only 8-bit
values; otherwise 16-bit values (as required by the
<small>TIFF</small> specification) are assumed. The
<b>−C</b> option can be used to explicitly specify the
number of bits for colormap entries: <b>−C 8</b> for
8-bit values, <b>−C 16</b> for 16-bit values.</p></td></tr>

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Options that

<p style="margin-top: 1em">Explicitly select the planar

<p>Use the specific compression algorithm to encoded image
data in the output file: <b>−c packbits</b> for
Macintosh Packbits, <b>−c lzw</b> for Lempel-Ziv &
Welch, <b>−c zip</b> for Deflate, <b>−c none</b>
for no compression. If no compression-related option is
specified, the input file’s compression algorithm is
used.</p> </td></tr>

specified, a number is selected such that each output strip
has approximately 8 kilobytes of data in it.</p></td></tr>
