.SH DESCRIPTION |
25 |
.I Ra_gif |
26 |
converts from RADIANCE to Compuserve GIF color-mapped, |
27 |
compressed image files. |
28 |
In the default mode, a RADIANCE picture is converted to a |
29 |
color-mapped GIF file of the same horizontal and vertical dimensions with |
30 |
8-bits per pixel. |
31 |
The |
32 |
.I \-b |
33 |
option converts the image to black and white. |
34 |
The |
35 |
.I \-d |
36 |
option turns off dithering. |
37 |
The |
38 |
.I \-c |
39 |
option allows fewer than 256 colors (and fewer than 8 bits per |
40 |
pixel). |
41 |
The |
42 |
.I \-g |
43 |
option specifies the exponent used in gamma correction; |
44 |
the default value is 2.2. |
45 |
An exponent of 1.0 turns gamma correction off. |
46 |
The |
47 |
.I \-e |
48 |
option specifies an exposure compensation in f-stops (powers of two). |
49 |
Only integer stops are allowed, for efficiency. |
50 |
The |
51 |
.I \-n |
52 |
option specifies a sampling factor for neural network color |
53 |
quantization. |
54 |
This value should be between 1 and 80, where 1 takes the longest and |
55 |
produces the best results in small areas of the image. |
56 |
If no value is given, a faster median cut algorithm is used. |
57 |
If the output file is missing, the standard output is used. |
