13 .SH DESCRIPTION
14 .I Pfilt
15 performs anti-aliasing and scaling on a RADIANCE picture.
16 The program makes two passes on the picture file in order to
17 set the exposure to the correct average value.
18 If no
19 .I file
20 is given, the standard input is read.
21 .TP 10n
22 .BI -x \ res
23 Set the output x resolution to
24 .I res.
25 This must be less than or equal to the x dimension
26 of the target device.
27 If
28 .I res
29 is given as a slash followed by a real number, the input resolution
30 is divided by this number to get the output resolution.
31 By default, the output resolution is the same as the input.
32 .TP
33 .BI -y \ res
34 Set the output y resolution to
35 .I res,
36 similar to the specification of the x resolution above.
37 .TP
38 .BI -p \ rat
39 Set the pixel aspect ratio to
40 .I rat.
41 Either the x or the y resolution will be reduced so that the pixels have
42 this ratio for the specified picture.
43 If
44 .I rat
45 is zero, then the x and y resolutions will adhere to the given maxima.
46 Zero is the default.
47 .TP
48 .BI -c
49 Pixel aspect ratio is being corrected, so do not write PIXASPECT
50 variable to output file.
51 .TP
52 .BI -e \ exp
53 Adjust the exposure.
54 If
55 .I exp
56 is preceded by a '+' or '-', the exposure is interpreted in f-stops
57 (ie. the power of two).
58 Otherwise,
59 .I exp
60 is interpreted as a straight multiplier.
61 The individual primaries can be changed using
62 .I \-er,
63 .I \-eg
64 and
65 .I \-eb.
66 Multiple exposure options have a cumulative effect.
67 .TP
68 .BR -t \ lamp
69 Color-balance the image as if it were illuminated by fixtures of
70 the given type.
71 The specification must match a pattern listed in the lamp
72 lookup table (see the -f option below).
73 .TP
74 .BR -f \ lampdat
75 Use the specified lamp lookup table rather than the default (lamp.tab).
76 .TP
77 .BR \-1
78 Use only one pass on the file.
79 This allows the exposure to be controlled absolutely, without
80 any averaging.
81 Note that a single pass is much quicker and should be used whenever
82 the desired exposure is known and star patterns are not required.
83 .TP
84 .BR \-2
85 Use two passes on the input.
86 This is the default.
87 .TP
88 .BR \-b
89 Use box filtering (default).
90 Box filtering averages the input pixels corresponding
91 to each separate output pixel.
92 .TP
93 .BI -r \ rad
94 Use Gaussian filtering with a radius of
95 .I rad
96 relative to the output pixel size.
97 This option with a radius around 0.6 and a reduction in image width and
98 height of 2 or 3 produces the highest quality pictures.
99 A radius greater than 0.7 results in a defocused picture.
100 .TP
101 .BI -m \ frac
102 Limit the influence of any given input pixel to
103 .I frac
104 of any given output pixel.
105 This option may be used to mitigate the problems associated with
106 inadequate image sampling, at the expense of a slightly blurred
107 image.
108 The fraction given should not exceed the output picture dimensions
109 over the input picture dimensions (x_o*y_o/x_i/y_i), or blurring
110 will occur over the entire image.
111 This option implies the
112 .I \-r
113 option for Gaussian filtering, which defaults to a radius of 0.6.
114 .TP
115 .BI -h \ lvl
116 Set intensity considered ``hot'' to
117 .I lvl.
118 This is the level above which areas of the image will begin
119 to exhibit star diffraction patterns (see below).
120 The default is 100 watts/sr/m2.
121 .TP
122 .BI -n \ N
123 Set the number of points on star patterns to
124 .I N.
125 A value of zero turns star patterns off.
126 The default is 0.
127 (Note that two passes are required for star patterns.)\0
128 .TP
129 .BI -s \ val
130 Set the spread for star patterns to
131 .I val.
132 This is the value a star pattern will have at the
133 edge of the image.
134 The default is .0001.
135 .TP
136 .BR \-a
137 Average hot spots as well.
138 By default, the areas of the picture above the hot level
139 are not used in setting the exposure.
