NAME
       bmp2tiff - create a TIFF file from a Microsoft Windows Device Independent Bitmap image file

SYNOPSIS
       bmp2tiff [ options ] input.bmp [ input2.bmp ... ] output.tiff

DESCRIPTION
       bmp2tiff  converts  a  Microsoft  Windows Device Independent Bitmap image file to TIFF.	If several input BMP files are being specified the
       multipage TIFF output file will be created. By default, the TIFF image is created with data samples  packed  (PlanarConfiguration=1),  com-
       pressed	with the PackBits algorithm (Compression=32773), and with each strip no more than 8 kilobytes.	These characteristics can overrid-
       den, or explicitly specified with the options described below.

OPTIONS
       -c     Specify a compression scheme to use when writing image data: -c none for no compression, -c packbits for	the  PackBits  compression
	      algorithm  (the  default), -c jpeg for the baseline JPEG compression algorithm, -c zip for the Deflate compression algorithm, and -c
	      lzw for Lempel-Ziv & Welch.

       -r number
	      Write data with a specified number of rows per strip; by default the number of rows/strip is selected so that each strip is approxi-
	      mately 8 kilobytes.
