<i>Tiff2rgba</i> converts a wide variety of TIFF images into
43
an RGBA TIFF image. This includes the ability to translate
44
different color spaces and photometric interpretation into
45
RGBA, support for alpha blending, and translation of many
46
different bit depths into a 32bit RGBA image.</td></table>

Internally this program is implemented using the
53
<i>TIFFReadRGBAImage()</i> function, and it suffers any
54
limitations of that image. This includes limited support for
55
> 8 BitsPerSample images, and flaws with some esoteric
56
combinations of BitsPerSample, photometric interpretation,
57
block organization and planar configuration.</td></table>

The generated images are stripped images with four samples
64
per pixel (red, green, blue and alpha) or if the -n flag is
65
used, three samples per pixel (red, green, and blue). The
66
resulting images are always planar configuration contiguous.
67
For this reason, this program is a useful utility for
68
transform exotic TIFF files into a form ingestable by almost
69
any TIFF supporting software.</td></table>
