NAME
       pal2rgb - convert a palette color TIFF image to a full color image

SYNOPSIS
       pal2rgb [ options ] input.tif output.tif

DESCRIPTION
       Pal2rgb	converts a palette color TIFF image to a full color image by applying the colormap of the palette image to each sample to generate
       a full color RGB image.

OPTIONS
       Options that affect the interpretation of input data are:

       -C     This option overrides the default behavior of pal2rgb in determining whether or not colormap entries contain 16-bit or 8-bit values.
	      By  default the colormap is inspected and if no colormap entry greater than 255 is found, the colormap is assumed to have only 8-bit
	      values; otherwise 16-bit values (as required by the TIFF specification) are assumed.  The -C option can be used to explicitly  spec-
	      ify the number of bits for colormap entries: -C 8 for 8-bit values, -C 16 for 16-bit values.

       Options that affect the output file format are:

       -p     Explicitly  select  the  planar configuration used in organizing data samples in the output image: -p contig for samples packed con-
	      tiguously, and -p separate for samples stored separately.  By default samples are packed.

       -c     Use the specific compression algorithm to encoded image data in the output file: -c packbits for Macintosh Packbits, -c lzw for Lem-
	      pel-Ziv  &  Welch,  -c zip for Deflate, -c none for no compression.  If no compression-related option is specified, the input file's
	      compression algorithm is used.

       -r     Explicitly specify the number of rows in each strip of the output file.  If the -r option is not specified,  a  number  is  selected
	      such that each output strip has approximately 8 kilobytes of data in it.

BUGS
       Only 8-bit images are handled.
