HDF8TO24(1)

💖 HDF8TO24 — the glow-up page 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the hdf8to24 manual, from the General Commands Manual collection (yes that's the whole vibe, it's giving classic Unix 💅).

✨ NAME ✨

hdf8to24 — take an 8-bit image sitting inside an HDF file and convert it into a 24-bit image in a whole other HDF file. glow-up arc, but for pixels 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

hdf8to24 [-sscale] [-jquality] input_hdf_file output_hdf_file

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So here's the tea: hdf8to24 converts an 8-bit image in an HDF file into a 24-bit image in an other HDF file. in goes the 8-bit, out comes the 24-bit, new file, new era, no cap ✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -sscale — sets the scale for magnifying that 8-bit input file. the rules are simple, bestie: scales between 0 and 1 shrink the image, and scales greater than 1 expand the image. defaults to 1 🫶
• -jquality — uses JPEG compression to store the 24-bit image. defaults to no compression — or, if you don't specify a quality, quality level 75 🔥

not me leaving this part out, but fr fr: the JPEG path only kicks in when you actually ask for -jquality, otherwise it's raw, uncompressed, living its best life 💀
