djpeg \- decompress a JPEG file to an image file
16
decompresses the named JPEG file, or the standard input if no file is named,
17
and produces an image file on the standard output. PBMPLUS (PPM/PGM), BMP,
18
GIF, Targa, or RLE (Utah Raster Toolkit) output format can be selected.
19
(RLE is supported only if the URT library is available.)
21
All switch names may be abbreviated; for example,
27
Most of the "basic" switches can be abbreviated to as little as one letter.
28
Upper and lower case are equivalent (thus
32
British spellings are also accepted (e.g.,
34
though for brevity these are not mentioned below.
36
The basic switches are:
39
Reduce image to at most N colors. This reduces the number of colors used in
40
the output image, so that it can be displayed on a colormapped display or
41
stored in a colormapped file format. For example, if you have an 8-bit
42
display, you'd need to reduce to 256 or fewer colors.
48
is the recommended name,
50
is provided only for backwards compatibility.
53
Select recommended processing options for fast, low quality output. (The
54
default options are chosen for highest quality output.) Currently, this is
55
equivalent to \fB\-dct fast \-nosmooth \-onepass \-dither ordered\fR.
58
Force gray-scale output even if JPEG file is color. Useful for viewing on
59
monochrome displays; also,
61
runs noticeably faster in this mode.
64
Scale the output image by a factor M/N. Currently supported scale factors are
65
M/N with all M from 1 to 16, where N is the source DCT size, which is 8 for
66
baseline JPEG. If the /N part is omitted, then M specifies the DCT scaled
67
size to be applied on the given input. For baseline JPEG this is equivalent
68
to M/8 scaling, since the source DCT size for baseline JPEG is 8.
69
Scaling is handy if the image is larger than your screen; also,
71
runs much faster when scaling down the output.
74
Select BMP output format (Windows flavor). 8-bit colormapped format is
79
is specified, or if the JPEG file is gray-scale; otherwise, 24-bit full-color
83
Select GIF output format. Since GIF does not support more than 256 colors,
85
is assumed (unless you specify a smaller number of colors).
88
Select BMP output format (OS/2 1.x flavor). 8-bit colormapped format is
93
is specified, or if the JPEG file is gray-scale; otherwise, 24-bit full-color
97
Select PBMPLUS (PPM/PGM) output format (this is the default format).
98
PGM is emitted if the JPEG file is gray-scale or if
100
is specified; otherwise PPM is emitted.
103
Select RLE output format. (Requires URT library.)
106
Select Targa output format. Gray-scale format is emitted if the JPEG file is
109
is specified; otherwise, colormapped format is emitted if
111
is specified; otherwise, 24-bit full-color format is emitted.
113
Switches for advanced users:
116
Use integer DCT method (default).
119
Use fast integer DCT (less accurate).
122
Use floating-point DCT method.
123
The float method is very slightly more accurate than the int method, but is
124
much slower unless your machine has very fast floating-point hardware. Also
125
note that results of the floating-point method may vary slightly across
126
machines, while the integer methods should give the same results everywhere.
127
The fast integer method is much less accurate than the other two.
130
Use Floyd-Steinberg dithering in color quantization.
133
Use ordered dithering in color quantization.
136
Do not use dithering in color quantization.
137
By default, Floyd-Steinberg dithering is applied when quantizing colors; this
138
is slow but usually produces the best results. Ordered dither is a compromise
139
between speed and quality; no dithering is fast but usually looks awful. Note
140
that these switches have no effect unless color quantization is being done.
141
Ordered dither is only available in
146
Quantize to the colors used in the specified image file. This is useful for
147
producing multiple files with identical color maps, or for forcing a
148
predefined set of colors to be used. The
150
must be a GIF or PPM file. This option overrides
156
Don't use high-quality upsampling.
159
Use one-pass instead of two-pass color quantization. The one-pass method is
160
faster and needs less memory, but it produces a lower-quality image.
162
is ignored unless you also say
165
Also, the one-pass method is always used for gray-scale output (the two-pass
166
method is no improvement then).
169
Set limit for amount of memory to use in processing large images. Value is
170
in thousands of bytes, or millions of bytes if "M" is attached to the
173
selects 4000000 bytes. If more space is needed, temporary files will be used.
175
.BI \-outfile " name"
176
Send output image to the named file, not to standard output.
179
Enable debug printout. More
181
give more output. Also, version information is printed at startup.
188
This example decompresses the JPEG file foo.jpg, quantizes it to
189
256 colors, and saves the output in 8-bit BMP format in foo.bmp:
191
.B djpeg \-colors 256 \-bmp
196
To get a quick preview of an image, use the
201
.B \-grayscale \-scale 1/8

Several options are available that trade off image quality to gain speed.

211
gain speed at a small sacrifice in quality.
212
When producing a color-quantized image,
213
.B \-onepass \-dither ordered
214
is fast but much lower quality than the default behavior.
216
may give acceptable results in two-pass mode, but is seldom tolerable in
219
If you are fortunate enough to have very fast floating point hardware,
220
\fB\-dct float\fR may be even faster than \fB\-dct fast\fR. But on most
221
machines \fB\-dct float\fR is slower than \fB\-dct int\fR; in this case it is
222
not worth using, because its theoretical accuracy advantage is too small to be
223
significant in practice.

If this environment variable is set, its value is the default memory limit.
