Thanks that's worked I think. Would it be possible to maybe make it so that it copies the results into a text file, because i can't seem to copy and paste the terminal output into a word file because it's so many lines long. Thanks!

tgatoppm(1) General Commands Manual tgatoppm(1)
NAME
tgatoppm - convert TrueVision Targa file into a portable pixmap
SYNOPSIS
tgatoppm [--alphaout={alpha-filename,-}] [--headerdump] tga-filename
DESCRIPTION
Reads a TrueVision Targa file as input. Produces a portable pixmap as output.
OPTIONS
--alphaout=alpha-filename
tgatoppm creates a PGM (portable graymap) file containing the alpha channel values in the input image. If the input image doesn't
contain an alpha channel, the alpha-filename file contains all zero (transparent) alpha values. If you don't specify --alphaout,
tgatoppm does not generate an alpha file, and if the input image has an alpha channel, tgatoppm simply discards it.
If you specify - as the filename, tgatoppm writes the alpha output to Standard Output and discards the image.
See pnmcomp(1) for one way to use the alpha output file.
--headerdump
Causes the header information to be dumped to stderr.
All options can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix. Should really be in PNM, not PPM.
