.SH DESCRIPTION |
| 38 |
.I Ra_bmp |
| 39 |
converts between RADIANCE and a Windows BMP image. |
| 40 |
During forward conversion, the |
| 41 |
.I \-b |
| 42 |
option produces 8-bit grayscale output rather than 24-bit RGB. |
| 43 |
The |
| 44 |
.I \-g |
| 45 |
option specifies the exponent used in monitor gamma correction; |
| 46 |
the default value is 2.2. |
| 47 |
The |
| 48 |
.I \-e |
| 49 |
option specifies a tone-mapping method or exposure compensation. |
| 50 |
If the argument is one of the special words "auto", "human", or "linear", |
| 51 |
the image will be tone-mapped with histogram adjustment, |
| 52 |
human vision simulation, or an averaged linear exposure, |
| 53 |
respectively. |
| 54 |
(These words may be abbreviated by one or more letters.)\0 |
| 55 |
Otherwise, the exposure specification is interpreted as a |
| 56 |
linear compensation value in integer f-stops, which must |
| 57 |
be proceeded by a '+' or '-'. |
| 58 |
The CRT color output primaries may be specified with the |
| 59 |
.I \-p |
| 60 |
option. |
| 61 |
.PP |
| 62 |
The |
| 63 |
.I \-r |
| 64 |
option invokes a reverse conversion, from a Windows BMP image |
| 65 |
to a RADIANCE picture. |
| 66 |
Tone-mapping and monitor primaries are not |
| 67 |
supported for reverse conversion. |
| 68 |
.PP |
| 69 |
.I Ra_bmp |
| 70 |
can accept 16-bit or color-mapped BMP files on input, |
| 71 |
but cannot not produce them on output. |
| 72 |
.PP |
| 73 |
A hyphen ('-') may be specified to indicate standard input for |
| 74 |
either forward or reverse conversion so that an output file may be |
| 75 |
specified. |
| 76 |
If the BMP input is taken from the standard input or sent to the |
| 77 |
standard output without tone-mapping, then the scanlines may |
| 78 |
be reversed from their usual ordering. |
| 79 |
Reversed scanlines sometimes causes difficulties for programs attempting |
| 80 |
to interpret the resulting RADIANCE picture or BMP image, which |
| 81 |
may be rejected or displayed inverted. |
| 82 |
.SH NOTES |
| 83 |
Hyperspectral Radiance pictures (.hsr files) are |
| 84 |
converted to approximate RGB pixels. |
| 85 |
However, the colors may not be very accurate. |
| 86 |
Pass the HSR picture through |
| 87 |
.I rcomb(1) |
| 88 |
first if greater color fidelity is required. |
