NAME
    pal2rgb - convert a palette color TIFF image to a full color image

SYNOPSIS
    pal2rgb [ options ] input.tif output.tif

DESCRIPTION
    Pal2rgb converts a palette color TIFF image to a full color image by
    applying the colormap of the palette image to each sample to generate a
    full color RGB image.

OPTIONS
    Options that affect the interpretation of input data are:

    -C   This option overrides the default behaviour of pal2rgb in deter-
    mining whether or not colormap entries contain 16-bit or  8-bit
    values. By default the colormap is inspected and if no colormap
    entry greater than 255 is found, the colormap is assumed to have
    only 8-bit values; otherwise 16-bit values (as required by the
    TIFF specification) are assumed. The -C option can be used to
    explicitly specify the number of bits for colormap entries: -C 8
    for 8-bit values, -C 16 for 16-bit values.

    Options that affect the output file format are:

    -p   Explicitly select the planar configuration used in organizing
    data samples in the output image: -p contig for samples packed
    contiguously, and -p separate for samples stored separately. By
    default samples are packed.

    -c   Use the specific compression algorithm to encoded image data in
    the output file: -c packbits for Macintosh Packbits, -c lzw for
    Lempel-Ziv & Welch, -c zip for Deflate, -c none for no compres-
    sion. If no compression-related option is specified, the  input
    file's compression algorithm is used.

    -r   Explicitly specify the number of rows in each strip of the out-
    put file.  If the -r option is not specified,  a number is
    selected such that each output strip has approximately 8 kilo-
    bytes of data in it.

BUGS
    Only 8-bit images are handled.
