52
53<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><i>ppm2tiff</i>
54converts a file in the <small>PPM</small> image format to
55<small>TIFF.</small> By default, the <small>TIFF</small>
56image is created with data samples packed
57(<i>PlanarConfiguration</i>=1), compressed with the
58Lempel-Ziv &amp; Welch algorithm (<i>Compression</i>=5), and
59with each strip no more than 8 kilobytes. These
60characteristics can be overridden, or explicitly specified
61with the options described below</p>
62
63<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If the
64<small>PPM</small> file contains greyscale data, then the
65<i>PhotometricInterpretation</i> tag is set to 1
66(min-is-black), otherwise it is set to 2 (RGB).</p>
67
68<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If no
69<small>PPM</small> file is specified on the command line,
70<i>ppm2tiff</i> will read from the standard input.</p>
