.SH "NAME"
ras2tiff \- create
a TIFF file from a Sun rasterfile
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fBras2tiff\fR [\fB\fIoptions\fR\fR] \fB\fIinput\&.ras\fR\fR \fB\fIoutput\&.tif\fR\fR
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBras2tiff\fR converts a file in the Sun rasterfile format
to TIFF\&. By default, the TIFF image is created with data samples packed (PlanarConfiguration=1),
compressed with the Lempel-Ziv and Welch algorithm (Compression=5), and with
each strip no more than 8 kilobytes\&. These characteristics can be overridden
or explicitly specified with the options described below\&.
.PP
Any colormap information in the rasterfile is carried over to the TIFF
file by including a Colormap tag in the output file\&. If the rasterfile has
a colormap, the PhotometricInterpretation tag is set to 3 (palette)\&. Otherwise,
the PhotometricInterpretation tag is set to 2 (RGB) if the depth is 24, or
to 1 (min-is-black) if the depth is not 24\&.
