NAME
       PTmasker - Compute stitching masks

SYNOPSIS
       PTmasker [options] tiff_file(s)

DESCRIPTION
       PTmasker computes stitching masks. It implements the ability to increase depth-of-field by stacking images.

OPTIONS
       -p prefix
	   Prefix for output files (defaults to masked%4d).

       -e feather
	   Size of the feather (defaults to zero).

       -f  Force processing (do not stop on warnings).

       -x  Delete source files (use with care).

       -q  Quiet run.

       -h  Output help summary.

       -z  Enable Extended depth of field.

       -m  Focus estimation mask type.

	   0 hard-edged masks, mutually exclusive
	   1 hard-edged masks, stack of nested masks
	   2 blended masks, stack of nested masks

	   2 is default and strongly recommended: This option includes a smoothing computation that seems to help a lot.

       -w integer
	   Focus estimation window size. Only available if -z.

	   Recommended value is 0.51001114526f image width, e.g. 4 pixels for an 800-pixel image.

	   Computation cost for focus estimation increases proportional to N^2.  Defaults to w4.

       -s integer
	   Smoothing window size. Only available if -z.

	   Recommended value is 0.50f image width, e.g. 4 pixels for an 800-pixel image.

	   Computation cost for focus estimation increases proportional to N^2.  Defaults to w4.
