<h2>SYNOPSIS</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>tiff2ps</b>

<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><i>tiff2ps</i>
reads <small>TIFF</small> images and writes or Encapsulated
(EPS) on the standard output. By default, <i>tiff2ps</i>
writes Encapsulated for the first image in the specified
<small>TIFF</small> image file.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">By default,
<i>tiff2ps</i> will generate that fills a printed area
specified by the <small>TIFF</small> tags in the input file.
If the file does not contain <i>XResolution</i> or
<i>YResolution</i> tags, then the printed area is set
according to the image dimensions. The <b>&minus;w</b> and
<b>&minus;h</b> options (see below) can be used to set the
dimensions of the printed area in inches; overriding any
relevant <small>TIFF</small> tags.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The generated
for <small>RGB,</small> palette, and <small>CMYK</small>
images uses the <i>colorimage</i> operator. The generated
for greyscale and bilevel images uses the <i>image</i>
operator. When the <i>colorimage</i> operator is used, code
to emulate this operator on older printers is also
generated. Note that this emulation code can be very
slow.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Color images
with associated alpha data are composited over a white
background.</p>

<h2>EXAMPLES</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The following
generates Level 2 for all pages of a facsimile:</p>
<p style="margin-left:22%;">tiff2ps -a2 fax.tif | lpr</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%;">Note also that if you have
version 2.6.1 or newer of Ghostscript then you can
efficiently preview facsimile generated with the above
command.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">To generate
Encapsulated for a the image at directory 2 of an image
use:</p>
<p style="margin-left:22%;">tiff2ps -d 1 foo.tif</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%;">(notice that directories are
numbered starting at zero.)</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If you have a
long image, it may be split in several pages:</p>
<p style="margin-left:22%;">tiff2ps -h11 -w8.5 -H14 -L.5
foo.tif &gt; foo.ps</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%;">The page size is set to 8.5x11
by <b>&minus;w</b> and <b>&minus;h</b> options. We will
accept a small amount of vertical compression, so
<b>&minus;H</b> set to 14. Any pages between 11 and 14
inches will be fit onto one page. Pages longer than 14
inches are cut off at 11 and continued on the next page. The
<b>&minus;L.5</b> option says to repeat a half inch on the
next page (to improve readability).</p>

<h2>BUGS</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Because does
not support the notion of a colormap, 8-bit palette images
produce 24-bit images. This conversion results in output
that is six times bigger than the original image and which
takes a long time to send to a printer over a serial line.
Matters are even worse for 4-, 2-, and 1-bit palette
images.</p>
