53<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><i>thumbnail</i>
54is a program written to show how one might use the SubIFD
55tag (#330) to store thumbnail images. <i>thumbnail</i>
56copies a <small>TIFF</small> Class F facsimile file to the
57output file and for each image an 8-bit greyscale
58<i>thumbnail sketch</i>. The output file contains the
59thumbnail image with the associated full-resolution page
60linked below with the SubIFD tag.</p>
61
62<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">By default,
63thumbnail images are 216 pixels wide by 274 pixels high.
64Pixels are calculated by sampling and filtering the input
65image with each pixel value passed through a contrast
66curve.</p>
