NAME

       pfsintiff - Load images or frames in several variants of TIFF format (both LDR and HDR)

SYNOPSIS

       pfsintiff (<file> [--linear] [--frames <range>] [--skip-missing])  [<file>...]

DESCRIPTION

       pfsintiff command loads images in TIFF format and writes pfs stream to the Standard Output. The pfs stream is usually piped to another pro-
       gram for further processing. To detect the format automatically based on the extension, use pfsin command.

       Both the standard LDR tiff and extended HDR (logLuv encoding http://www.anyhere.com/gward/pixformat/tiffluv.html); Note that both  LDR  and
       HDR  tiff  files provide photometric data (ie linearly related to luminance). The 'LUMINANCE' tag is set to 'RELATIVE', also the '--linear'
       switch is ignored.

       To read images from standard input use a single dash '-' instead of filename. The images are read until EOF is reached.

       Each file can contain a %d pattern, which is substituted with frame numbers. The pattern has the same syntax as C printf command. For exam-
       ple,  you  can  use  %04d to make the frame number four digit with proceedings zeros. You can select the frames using the following options
       (the options must be always given after the file name):

       --frames <range>
	      Range is given in mathlab / octave format:

	      startframe:step:endframe

	      Frame numbers start with startframe (default 0), are increased by step (default 1) and stop at endframe You can skip  one  of  those
	      values, for example 1:100 for frames 1,2,...,100 and 0:2: for frame 0,2,4,... up to the last file that exists.

       --skip-missing
	      Skip  up	to  ten frames in a row if corresponding files are missing. Otherwise the program stops reading sequence at the first file
	      that does not exists. This switch does not apply to the first frame in a sequence. This switch can be useful if there is a  rendered
	      animation where some of the frame has not been generated.

       --linear
	      Ignored for compatibility with pfsinppm.

EXAMPLES

       pfsintiff frame%04d.tif --frames 0:10 | pfsview

	      Read frames from files frame0000.tif, frame0001.tif, ..., frame0010.tif and show them using pfsview.
