NAME

     bmp2tiff - create a TIFF file from a Microsoft Windows  Dev-
     ice Independent Bitmap image file

SYNOPSIS

     bmp2tiff [ options ] input.bmp output.tiff

DESCRIPTION

     bmp2tiff converts a  Microsoft  Windows  Device  Independent
     Bitmap  image  file  to  TIFF. By default, the TIFF image is
     created with data  samples  packed  (PlanarConfiguration=1),
     compressed  with the PackBits algorithm (Compression=32773),
     and with each strip no more than 8 kilobytes.  These charac-
     teristics  can  overridden, or explicitly specified with the
     options described below.

OPTIONS

     -c   Specify a compression scheme to use when writing  image
          data:   -c none for no compression, -c packbits for the
          PackBits compression algorithm (the default),  -c  jpeg
          for the baseline JPEG compression algorithm, -c zip for
          the Deflate  compression  algorithm,  and  -c  lzw  for
          Lempel-Ziv & Welch.

     -r <number>
          Write data with a specified number of rows  per  strip;
          by default the number of rows/strip is selected so that
          each strip is approximately 8 kilobytes.
