.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Tiff2bw
converts an

.SM TIFF
image to a greyscale image by
combining percentages of the red, green, and blue channels.
By default, output samples are created by taking
28% of the red channel, 59% of the green channel, and 11% of
the blue channel.
To alter these percentages, the
.BR \-R ,
.BR \-G ,
and
.BR \-B
options may be used.

for the CCITT Group 3 compression algorithm,
.B "-c g4
for the CCITT Group 4 compression algorithm,
and
.B "\-c lzw"
for Lempel-Ziv & Welch (the default).
