<p><i>tiff2ps</i> reads <small>TIFF</small> images and
writes or Encapsulated (EPS) on the standard output. By
default, <i>tiff2ps</i> writes Encapsulated for the first
image in the specified <small>TIFF</small> image file.</p>
<!-- INDENTATION -->
<p>By default, <i>tiff2ps</i> will generate that fills a
printed area specified by the <small>TIFF</small> tags in
the input file. If the file does not contain
<i>XResolution</i> or <i>YResolution</i> tags, then the
printed area is set according to the image dimensions. The
<b>−w</b> and <b>−h</b> options (see below) can
be used to set the dimensions of the printed area in inches;
overriding any relevant <small>TIFF</small> tags.</p>
<!-- INDENTATION -->
<p>The generated for <small>RGB,</small> palette, and
<small>CMYK</small> images uses the <i>colorimage</i>
operator. The generated for greyscale and bilevel images
uses the <i>image</i> operator. When the <i>colorimage</i>
operator is used, code to emulate this operator on older
printers is also generated. Note that this emulation code
can be very slow.</p>
<!-- INDENTATION -->
<p>Color images with associated alpha data are composited
over a white background.</p>

palette images produce 24-bit images. This conversion
results in output that is six times bigger than the original

a serial line. Matters are even worse for 4-, 2-, and 1-bit
palette images.</p>
