pnmdepth(1)


NAME

   pnmdepth - change the maxval in a portable anymap

SYNOPSIS

   pnmdepth newmaxval [pnmfile]

DESCRIPTION

   Reads  a  portable  anymap  as input.  Scales all the pixel values, and
   writes out the image with the new maxval.  Scaling the colors down to a
   smaller maxval will result in some loss of information.

   Be  careful  of  off-by-one  errors  when choosing the new maxval.  For
   instance, if you want the color values to be  five  bits  wide,  use  a
   maxval of 31, not 32.

   One  important  use  of pnmdepth is to convert a new format 2-byte-per-
   sample PNM file to the older 1-byte-per-sample  format.   Before  April
   2000,  essentially  all raw (binary) format PNM files had a maxval less
   than 256 and one byte per sample, and many programs may rely  on  that.
   If  you specify a newmaxval less than 256, the resulting file should be
   readable by any program that worked with PNM files before April 2000.
