NAME

tiff2bw - convert a color TIFF image to greyscale

SYNOPSIS

tiff2bw [ options ] input.tif output.tif

DESCRIPTION

Tiff2bw converts an RGB or Palette color TIFF image to a greyscale image by combining percentages of the red, green, and blue channels. By default, output samples are created by taking 28% of the red channel, 59% of the green channel, and 11% of the blue channel. To alter these percentages, the -R, -G, and -B options may be used.
