PCT2RGB(1) GDAL PCT2RGB(1)
NAME
pct2rgb - Convert an 8bit paletted image to 24bit RGB.
SYNOPSIS
pct2rgb.py [-of format] [-b band] [-rgba] source_file dest_file
DESCRIPTION
This utility will convert a pseudo-color band on the input file into an
output RGB file of the desired format.
-of <format>
Select the output format. Starting with GDAL 2.3, if not speci-
fied, the format is guessed from the extension (previously was
GTiff). Use the short format name.
-b <band>
Band to convert to RGB, defaults to 1.
-rgba Generate a RGBA file (instead of a RGB file by default).
<source_file>
The input file.
<dest_file>
The output RGB file that will be created.
NOTE: pct2rgb.py is a Python script, and will only work if GDAL was
built with Python support.
The '-expand rgb|rgba' option of gdal_translate obsoletes that utility.
