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

SYNOPSIS
       bmp2tiff [ options ] input.bmp output.tiff

DESCRIPTION
       bmp2tiff converts a Microsoft Windows Device Independent
       Bitmap  image  file to TIFF.  By default, the TIFF image
       is created with data  samples  packed  (PlanarConfigura-
       tion=1),  compressed  with  the PackBits algorithm (Com-
       pression=32773), and with each  strip  no  more  than  8
       kilobytes.   These  characteristics  can  overridden, 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 pack-
              bits for the PackBits compression algorithm  (the
              default),  -c jpeg for the baseline JPEG compres-
              sion algorithm, -c zip for the  Deflate  compres-
              sion  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  approximately  8
              kilobytes.
