<i>tiffmedian</i> applies the median cut algorithm to an
44
<small>RGB</small> image in <i>input.tif</i> to generate a
45
palette image that is written to <i>output.tif</i>. The
46
generated colormap has, by default, 256 entries. The image
47
data is quantized by mapping each pixel to the closest color
48
values in the colormap.</td></table>

Specify the compression to use for data written to the
63
output file: <b>none</b> for no compression, <b>packbits</b>
64
for PackBits compression, <b>lzw</b> for Lempel-Ziv &
65
Welch compression, and <b>zip</b> for Deflate compression.

By default <i>tiffmedian</i> will compress data according to
67

<small>LZW</small> compression can be specified together
75
with a <i>predictor</i> value. A predictor value of 2 causes
76
each scanline of the output image to undergo horizontal
77
differencing before it is encoded; a value of 1 forces each
78
scanline to be encoded without differencing. LZW-specific
79
options are specified by appending a ``:''-separated list to
80
the ``lzw'' option; e.g. <b>-c lzw:2</b> for
81
<small>LZW</small> compression with horizontal
82
differencing.</td></table>
