pct2rgb.py¶
Convert an 8bit paletted image to 24bit RGB.
Synopsis¶
pct2rgb.py [-of format] [-b band] [-rgba] source_file dest_file
Description¶
This utility will convert a pseudo-color band on the input file into an output RGB file of the desired format.
- -of <format>¶
Select the output format. Starting with GDAL 2.3, if not specified, the format is guessed from the extension (previously was GTiff). Use the short format name.
- -b <band>¶
Band to convert to RGB, defaults to 1.
- -rgba¶
Generate a RGBA file (instead of a RGB file by default).
- <source_file>¶
The input file.
- <dest_file>¶
The output RGB file that will be created.
NOTE: pct2rgb.py is a Python script, and will only work if GDAL was built with Python support.
The '-expand rgb|rgba' option of gdal_translate obsoletes that utility.
