imgcopy and imginfo are command line tools that let you copy or get information about an image.
Imgcopy lets you copy an image from one format type to another. You can copy the file into SGI, TIFF, or FIT formats.
The imgcopy icon is on the MediaTools page of the Icon Catalog. To copy an image from one format to another, drag and drop an image icon on top of the imgcopy icon. A dialog box appears from which you can choose a different image format.
To use the imgcopy shell command, at the prompt type:
imgcopy <infile> <outfile.format>
where infile is the name of the file to be copied and outfile.format is the name you want the new file to be called. See the manual page for a list of the command line options.
Imginfo displays information about size and format, image dimension in pixels, page size, data type, dimension order, color model, minimum and maximum pixel values, file format, data compression, and image description.
The imginfo icon is on the MediaTools page of the Icon Catalog. Double-click the icon to open the application. A dialog box appears. Enter the pathname of the image about which you want information and press OK. Another window appears describing the image properties.
To use the imginfo shell command, at the prompt type: imginfo <imgfile> and press <Enter>.
