THUMBNAIL(1)                        LibTIFF                       THUMBNAIL(1)

NAME
       thumbnail - create a TIFF file with thumbnail images

SYNOPSIS
       thumbnail [ options ] input.tif output.tif

DESCRIPTION
       thumbnail is a program written to show how one might use the SubIFD tag
       (#330) to store thumbnail images.  thumbnail copies a TIFF Class F fac-
       simile  file  to  the output file and for each image an 8-bit greyscale
       "thumbnail sketch" is created.  The output file contains the  thumbnail
       image  with  the  associated full-resolution page linked below with the
       SubIFD tag.

       By default, thumbnail images are 216 pixels wide by  274  pixels  high.
       Pixels  are  calculated  by sampling and filtering the input image with
       each pixel value passed through a contrast curve.

OPTIONS
       -w width
              Specify the width of thumbnail images in pixels.

       -h height
              Specify the height of thumbnail images in pixels.

       -c contrast
              Specify a contrast curve to apply in  generating  the  thumbnail
              images.   By  default  pixels values are passed through a linear
              contrast curve that simply maps the pixel value ranges.   Alter-
              native curves are:
