<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.</td></table>

Internally this program is implemented using the
<i>TIFFReadRGBAImage()</i> function, and it suffers any
limitations of that image. This includes limited support for
&gt; 8 BitsPerSample images, and flaws with some esoteric
combinations of BitsPerSample, photometric interpretation,
block organization and planar configuration.</td></table>

<td width="10%"></td><td width="90%">
The generated images are stripped images with four samples
per pixel (red, green, blue and alpha) or if the -n 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 ingestable by almost
any TIFF supporting software.</td></table>

Specify a compression scheme to use when writing image data:

Process the image one block (strip/tile) at a time instead
of by reading the whole image into memory at once. This may
be necessary for very large images on systems with limited
RAM.</td></table>

Drop the alpha component from the output file, producing a
pure RGB file. Currently this does not work if the -b flag
is also in effect.</td></table>
