💖 TIF2SVG 💖

okay bestie, so this is tif2svg, one of those User Contributed Perl Documentation girlies. it generates an SVG file from hugin 'multiple TIFF' output, and honestly? it's giving organizational queen. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

tif2svg — generates an SVG file from hugin 'multiple TIFF' output. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

tif2svg [options] INPUT INPUT ...

like, you feed it a bunch of INPUT files, you give it [options] if you're feeling fancy, and it does its thing. no cap. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea, bestie: this bad boy takes a list of TIFF files and assembles an SVG file where each TIFF is referenced on its own separate layer. one file, one layer. organized. iconic. 👑

if you pass the --trace option, the alpha channels get traced with autotrace, and that vector path gets inserted as clip paths. so yeah, it's doing actual vector magic in there. 🧚

typically, that multiple TIFF output comes from hugin/nona. and instead of adjusting alpha channels for enblend the usual way, this tool lets you adjust the masks in Inkscape instead. so much more main character energy, fr fr. then the saved SVG file can be blended with enblend-svg. slay. 🔥

it requires Image::Size and autotrace, so make sure those are in your life before you come for this tool.

okay important note bestie — those 'multiple TIFF' files can be large and unwieldy 😭 like genuinely a lot. use the --jpeg-proxies option to generate JPEG versions for use in Inkscape, and enblend-svg will swap these back when blending. it's a whole little glow-up situation. 💖
