<p><i>tiffmedian</i> applies the median cut algorithm to an
<small>RGB</small> image in <i>input.tif</i> to generate a
palette image that is written to <i>output.tif</i>. The
generated colormap has, by default, 256 entries. The image
data is quantized by mapping each pixel to the closest color
values in the colormap.</p>

<p>Specify the compression to use for data written to the
output file: <b>none</b> for no compression, <b>packbits</b>
for PackBits compression, <b>lzw</b> for Lempel-Ziv &amp;
Welch compression, and <b>zip</b> for Deflate compression.
By default <i>tiffmedian</i> will compress data according to
the value of the <i>Compression</i> tag found in the source
file.</p>

<p><small>LZW</small> compression can be specified together
with a <i>predictor</i> value. A predictor value of 2 causes
each scanline of the output image to undergo horizontal
differencing before it is encoded; a value of 1 forces each
scanline to be encoded without differencing. LZW-specific
options are specified by appending a
&lsquo;&lsquo;:&rsquo;&rsquo;-separated list to the
&lsquo;&lsquo;lzw&rsquo;&rsquo; option; e.g. <b>&minus;c
lzw:2</b> for <small>LZW</small> compression with horizontal
differencing.</p>
