43<i>thumbnail</i> is a program written to show how one might
44use the SubIFD tag (#330) to store thumbnail images.
45<i>thumbnail</i> copies a <small>TIFF</small> Class F
46facsimile file to the output file and for each image an
478-bit greyscale <i>thumbnail sketch</i>. The output file
48contains the thumbnail image with the associated
49full-resolution page linked below with the SubIFD
50tag.</td></table>

56By default, thumbnail images are 216 pixels wide by 274
57pixels high. Pixels are calculated by sampling and filtering
58the input image with each pixel value passed through a

99Specify a contrast curve to apply in generating the
100thumbnail images. By default pixels values are passed
101through a linear contrast curve that simply maps the pixel
102value ranges. Alternative curves are: <b>exp50</b> for a 50%
103exponential curve, <b>exp60</b> for a 60% exponential curve,
104<b>exp70</b> for a 70% exponential curve, <b>exp80</b> for a
10580% exponential curve, <b>exp90</b> for a 90% exponential
106curve, <b>exp</b> for a pure exponential curve,
107<b>linear</b> for a linear curve.</td></table>
