.SH DESCRIPTION |
39 |
.I Ra_t8 |
40 |
converts between RADIANCE and Targa 8-bit color-mapped image files |
41 |
(type 1 in Targa's documentation). |
42 |
In the default mode, a RADIANCE picture is converted to a |
43 |
color-mapped Targa file of the same horizontal and vertical dimensions with |
44 |
8-bits per pixel. |
45 |
The |
46 |
.I \-d |
47 |
option turns off dithering. |
48 |
The |
49 |
.I \-b |
50 |
option converts the image to black and white. |
51 |
Only with this option can the input be taken from stdin. |
52 |
The |
53 |
.I \-c |
54 |
option allows fewer than 256 colors. |
55 |
The |
56 |
.I \-g |
57 |
option specifies the exponent used in gamma correction; |
58 |
the default value is 2.2. |
59 |
An exponent of 1.0 turns gamma correction off. |
60 |
The |
61 |
.I \-e |
62 |
option specifies an exposure compensation in f-stops (powers of two). |
63 |
Only integer stops are allowed, for efficiency. |
64 |
The |
65 |
.I \-n |
66 |
option specifies a sampling factor for neural network color |
67 |
quantization. |
68 |
This value should be between 1 and 80, where 1 takes the longest and |
69 |
produces the best results in small areas of the image. |
70 |
If no value is given, a faster median cut algorithm is used. |
71 |
The |
72 |
.I \-r |
73 |
option invokes a reverse conversion, from an 8-bit Targa file to |
74 |
a RADIANCE picture. |
75 |
If the output file is missing, the standard output is used. |
