pnmdepth (1)

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.
