🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

stream-im6.q16 [options] input-file output-file

🎀 OVERVIEW 🎀

okay so stream is a lightweight tool that streams one or more pixel components of the image — or of just a portion of the image — to whatever storage format you choose. it writes the pixel components as they're read from the input image, one row at a time, which makes stream-im6.q16 lowkey the moment when you're working with big images or when you need raw pixel components. it's giving "efficient" and honestly? obsessed. 💅

okay so by default, the image format of file is determined by its magic number ✨. if you want to specify a particular image format, precede the filename with an image format name and a colon (i.e. ps:image) or specify the image type as the filename suffix (i.e. image.ps). and bestie — specify file as - for standard input or output. no cap. 💅
