- <p><i>tiffcrop</i> combines one or more files created
- according to the Tag Image File Format, Revision 6.0 into a
- single <small>TIFF</small> file. The output file may be
- compressed using a different algorithm than the input files.
- <i>tiffcrop</i> is most often used to extract portions of an
- image for processing with bar code recognizer or OCR
- software when that software cannot restrict the region of
- interest to a specific portion of the image or to improve
- efficiency when the regions of interest must be rotated.</p>
- <!-- INDENTATION -->
- <p>By default, <i>tiffcrop</i> will copy all the understood
- tags in a <small>TIFF</small> directory of an input file to
- the associated directory in the output file.</p>
- <!-- INDENTATION -->
- <p><i>tiffcrop</i> can be used to reorganize the storage
- characteristics of data in a file, and it will alter or
- convert the image data content as specified at the same
- time, unlike tiffcp.</p>
- <!-- INDENTATION -->
- <p><i>tiffcrop</i> will behave exactly like tiffcp if none
- of the new options are specified.</p>
