NAME
       pfmtopam - Convert PFM (Portable Float Map) image to Netpbm format

SYNOPSIS
       pfmtopam [-maxval=n] [-verbose] [imagefile]

       All  options  can  be  abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix.  You may use two hyphens instead of one.  You may
       separate an option name and its value with white space instead of an equals sign.

DESCRIPTION
       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       pfmtopam reads a PFM (Portable Float Map) image and converts it to PAM.

       See pamtopfm(1) for a description of PFM.

       If you want one of the older, more portable Netpbm formats, run the output through pamtopnm.

       pamtopfm creates a PAM with tuple type "RGB" or "GRAYSCALE" depending on whether or not the PFM is in the color	sub‐
       format.

       Use pamtopfm(1) to convert a PFM image to Netpbm format.

OPTIONS
       In  addition  to	 the  options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (most notably -quiet, see  Common Options ),
       pfmtopam recognizes the following command line options:

       -maxval=n

	      This specifies the maxval for the PAM.  Default is 255.

       -verbose

	      This causes pfmtopam to display messages describing
		   the PFM input file.

SEE ALSO
       pamtopfm(1), pam(1),

HISTORY
       pfmtopam was added to Netpbm in Release 10.22 (April 2004).
