.TH TIFFCP 1 "February 24, 2007" "libtiff"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
tiffcp \- copy (and possibly convert) a
|
|
.SM TIFF
|
|
file
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B tiffcp
|
|
[
|
|
.I options
|
|
]
|
|
.I "src1.tif ... srcN.tif dst.tif"
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.I tiffcp
|
|
combines one or more files created according
|
|
to the Tag Image File Format, Revision 6.0
|
|
into a single
|
|
.SM TIFF
|
|
file.
|
|
Because the output file may be compressed using a different
|
|
algorithm than the input files,
|
|
.I tiffcp
|
|
is most often used to convert between different compression
|
|
schemes.
|
|
.PP
|
|
By default,
|
|
.I tiffcp
|
|
will copy all the understood tags in a
|
|
.SM TIFF
|
|
directory of an input
|
|
file to the associated directory in the output file.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I tiffcp
|
|
can be used to reorganize the storage characteristics of data
|
|
in a file, but it is explicitly intended to not alter or convert
|
|
the image data content in any way.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-a
|
|
Append to an existing output file instead of overwriting it.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-b " image"
|
|
subtract the following monochrome image from all others
|
|
processed. This can be used to remove a noise bias
|
|
from a set of images. This bias image is typically an
|
|
image of noise the camera saw with its shutter closed.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-B
|
|
Force output to be written with Big-Endian byte order.
|
|
This option only has an effect when the output file is created or
|
|
overwritten and not when it is appended to.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-C
|
|
Suppress the use of ``strip chopping'' when reading images
|
|
that have a single strip/tile of uncompressed data.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-c
|
|
Specify the compression to use for data written to the output file:
|
|
.B none
|
|
for no compression,
|
|
.B packbits
|
|
for PackBits compression,
|
|
.B lzw
|
|
for Lempel-Ziv & Welch compression,
|
|
.B zip
|
|
for Deflate compression,
|
|
.B lzma
|
|
for LZMA2 compression,
|
|
.B jpeg
|
|
for baseline JPEG compression,
|
|
.B g3
|
|
for CCITT Group 3 (T.4) compression,
|
|
.B g4
|
|
for CCITT Group 4 (T.6) compression,
|
|
or
|
|
.B sgilog
|
|
for SGILOG compression.
|
|
By default
|
|
.I tiffcp
|
|
will compress data according to the value of the
|
|
.I Compression
|
|
tag found in the source file.
|
|
.IP
|
|
The
|
|
.SM CCITT
|
|
Group 3 and Group 4 compression algorithms can only
|
|
be used with bilevel data.
|
|
.IP
|
|
Group 3 compression can be specified together with several
|
|
T.4-specific options:
|
|
.B 1d
|
|
for 1-dimensional encoding,
|
|
.B 2d
|
|
for 2-dimensional encoding,
|
|
and
|
|
.B fill
|
|
to force each encoded scanline to be zero-filled so that the
|
|
terminating EOL code lies on a byte boundary.
|
|
Group 3-specific options are specified by appending a ``:''-separated
|
|
list to the ``g3'' option; e.g.
|
|
.B "\-c g3:2d:fill"
|
|
to get 2D-encoded data with byte-aligned EOL codes.
|
|
.IP
|
|
.SM LZW, Deflate
|
|
and
|
|
.SM LZMA2
|
|
compression can be specified together with a
|
|
.I predictor
|
|
value. A predictor value of 2 causes each scanline of the output image to
|
|
undergo horizontal differencing before it is encoded; a value of 1 forces each
|
|
scanline to be encoded without differencing. A value 3 is for floating point
|
|
predictor which you can use if the encoded data are in floating point format.
|
|
LZW-specific options are specified by appending a ``:''-separated list to the
|
|
``lzw'' option; e.g.
|
|
.B "\-c lzw:2"
|
|
for
|
|
.SM LZW
|
|
compression with horizontal differencing.
|
|
.IP
|
|
.SM Deflate
|
|
and
|
|
.SM LZMA2
|
|
encoders support various compression levels (or encoder presets) set as
|
|
character ``p'' and a preset number. ``p1'' is the fastest one with the worst
|
|
compression ratio and ``p9'' is the slowest but with the best possible ratio;
|
|
e.g.
|
|
.B "\-c zip:3:p9"
|
|
for
|
|
.SM Deflate
|
|
encoding with maximum compression level and floating point predictor.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-f
|
|
Specify the bit fill order to use in writing output data.
|
|
By default,
|
|
.I tiffcp
|
|
will create a new file with the same fill order as the original.
|
|
Specifying
|
|
.B "\-f lsb2msb"
|
|
will force data to be written with the FillOrder tag set to
|
|
.SM LSB2MSB,
|
|
while
|
|
.B "\-f msb2lsb"
|
|
will force data to be written with the FillOrder tag set to
|
|
.SM MSB2LSB.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-i
|
|
Ignore non-fatal read errors and continue processing of the input file.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-l
|
|
Specify the length of a tile (in pixels).
|
|
.I tiffcp
|
|
attempts to set the tile dimensions so
|
|
that no more than 8 kilobytes of data appear in a tile.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-L
|
|
Force output to be written with Little-Endian byte order.
|
|
This option only has an effect when the output file is created or
|
|
overwritten and not when it is appended to.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-M
|
|
Suppress the use of memory-mapped files when reading images.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-o " offset"
|
|
Set initial directory offset.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-p
|
|
Specify the planar configuration to use in writing image data
|
|
that has one 8-bit sample per pixel.
|
|
By default,
|
|
.I tiffcp
|
|
will create a new file with the same planar configuration as
|
|
the original.
|
|
Specifying
|
|
.B "\-p contig"
|
|
will force data to be written with multi-sample data packed
|
|
together, while
|
|
.B "\-p separate"
|
|
will force samples to be written in separate planes.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-r
|
|
Specify the number of rows (scanlines) in each strip of data
|
|
written to the output file.
|
|
By default (or when value
|
|
.B 0
|
|
is specified),
|
|
.I tiffcp
|
|
attempts to set the rows/strip
|
|
that no more than 8 kilobytes of data appear in a strip. If you specify
|
|
special value
|
|
.B \-1
|
|
it will results in infinite number of the rows per strip. The entire image
|
|
will be the one strip in that case.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-s
|
|
Force the output file to be written with data organized in strips
|
|
(rather than tiles).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-t
|
|
Force the output file to be written with data organized in tiles (rather than
|
|
strips). options can be used to force the resultant image to be written as
|
|
strips or tiles of data, respectively.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-w
|
|
Specify the width of a tile (in pixels).
|
|
.I tiffcp
|
|
attempts to set the tile dimensions so that no more than 8 kilobytes of data
|
|
appear in a tile.
|
|
.I tiffcp
|
|
attempts to set the tile dimensions so that no more than 8 kilobytes of data
|
|
appear in a tile.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-x
|
|
Force the output file to be written with PAGENUMBER value in sequence.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-8
|
|
Write BigTIFF instead of classic TIFF format.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-,= character
|
|
substitute
|
|
.I character
|
|
for `,' in parsing image directory indices
|
|
in files. This is necessary if filenames contain commas.
|
|
Note that
|
|
.B \-,=
|
|
with whitespace immediately following will disable
|
|
the special meaning of the `,' entirely. See examples.
|
|
.SH EXAMPLES
|
|
The following concatenates two files and writes the result using
|
|
.SM LZW
|
|
encoding:
|
|
.RS
|
|
.nf
|
|
tiffcp \-c lzw a.tif b.tif result.tif
|
|
.fi
|
|
.RE
|
|
.PP
|
|
To convert a G3 1d-encoded
|
|
.SM TIFF
|
|
to a single strip of G4-encoded data the following might be used:
|
|
.RS
|
|
.nf
|
|
tiffcp \-c g4 \-r 10000 g3.tif g4.tif
|
|
.fi
|
|
.RE
|
|
(1000 is just a number that is larger than the number of rows in
|
|
the source file.)
|
|
|
|
To extract a selected set of images from a multi-image TIFF file, the file
|
|
name may be immediately followed by a `,' separated list of image directory
|
|
indices. The first image is always in directory 0. Thus, to copy the 1st and
|
|
3rd images of image file ``album.tif'' to ``result.tif'':
|
|
.RS
|
|
.nf
|
|
tiffcp album.tif,0,2 result.tif
|
|
.fi
|
|
.RE
|
|
|
|
A trailing comma denotes remaining images in sequence. The following command
|
|
will copy all image with except the first one:
|
|
.RS
|
|
.nf
|
|
tiffcp album.tif,1, result.tif
|
|
.fi
|
|
.RE
|
|
|
|
Given file ``CCD.tif'' whose first image is a noise bias
|
|
followed by images which include that bias,
|
|
subtract the noise from all those images following it
|
|
(while decompressing) with the command:
|
|
.RS
|
|
.nf
|
|
tiffcp \-c none \-b CCD.tif CCD.tif,1, result.tif
|
|
.fi
|
|
.RE
|
|
|
|
If the file above were named ``CCD,X.tif'', the
|
|
.B \-,=
|
|
option would
|
|
be required to correctly parse this filename with image numbers,
|
|
as follows:
|
|
.RS
|
|
.nf
|
|
tiffcp \-c none \-,=% \-b CCD,X.tif CCD,X%1%.tif result.tif
