.TH THUMBNAIL 1 "November 2, 2005" "libtiff"

.SH NAME

thumbnail \- create a

.SM TIFF

file with thumbnail images

.SH SYNOPSIS

.B thumbnail

[

.I options

]

.I input.tif

.I output.tif

.SH DESCRIPTION

.I thumbnail

is a program written to show how one might use the

SubIFD tag (#330) to store thumbnail images.

.I thumbnail

copies a

.SM TIFF

Class F facsimile file to the output file

and for each image an 8-bit greyscale 

.IR "thumbnail sketch" .

The output file contains the thumbnail image with the associated

full-resolution page linked below with the SubIFD tag.

.PP

By default, thumbnail images are 216 pixels wide by 274 pixels high.

Pixels are calculated by sampling and filtering the input image

with each pixel value passed through a contrast curve.

.SH OPTIONS

.TP

.B \-w

Specify the width of thumbnail images in pixels.

.TP

.B \-h

Specify the height of thumbnail images in pixels.

.TP

.B \-c

Specify a contrast curve to apply in generating the thumbnail images.

By default pixels values are passed through a linear contrast curve

that simply maps the pixel value ranges.

Alternative curves are:

.B exp50

for a 50% exponential curve,

.B exp60

for a 60% exponential curve,

.B exp70

for a 70% exponential curve,

.B exp80

for a 80% exponential curve,

.B exp90

for a 90% exponential curve,

.B exp

for a pure exponential curve,

.B linear

for a linear curve.

.SH BUGS

There are no options to control the format of the saved thumbnail images.
