35     .SH DESCRIPTION
36     .I Ra_bmp
37     converts between RADIANCE and a Windows BMP image.
38     The
39     .I \-b
40     option produces 8-bit grayscale output rather than 24-bit RGB.
41     The
42     .I \-g
43     option specifies the exponent used in gamma correction;
44     the default value is 2.2.
45     The
46     .I \-e
47     option specifies an exposure compensation in f-stops (powers of two
48     and proceeded by +/-).
49     Only integer stops are allowed, for efficiency.
50     The
51     .I \-r
52     option invokes a reverse conversion, from a Windows BMP image
53     to a RADIANCE picture.
54     .I Ra_bmp
55     can accept 16-bit or color-mapped BMP files on input,
56     but cannot not produce them on output.
57     .PP
58     A hyphen ('-') may be specified to indicate standard input for
59     either forward or reverse conversion so that an output file may be
60     specified.
61     If the BMP input is taken from the standard input or sent to the
62     standard output, then the scanlines may be reversed from their
63     usual ordering.
64     This sometimes causes difficulties for programs attempting
65     to interpret the resulting RADIANCE picture or BMP image, which
66     may be rejected or displayed inverted.
