+.LP
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+.B cjpeg
+compresses the named image file, or the standard input if no file is
+named, and produces a JPEG/JFIF file on the standard output.
+The currently supported input file formats are: PPM (PBMPLUS color
+format), PGM (PBMPLUS grayscale format), BMP, Targa, and RLE (Utah Raster
+Toolkit format).  (RLE is supported only if the URT library is available.)
+.SH OPTIONS
+All switch names may be abbreviated; for example,
+.B \-grayscale
+may be written
+.B \-gray
+or
+.BR \-gr .
+Most of the "basic" switches can be abbreviated to as little as one letter.
+Upper and lower case are equivalent (thus
+.B \-BMP
+is the same as
+.BR \-bmp ).
+British spellings are also accepted (e.g.,
+.BR \-greyscale ),
+though for brevity these are not mentioned below.
+.PP
+The basic switches are:
+.TP
+.BI \-quality " N[,...]"
+Scale quantization tables to adjust image quality.  Quality is 0 (worst) to
+100 (best); default is 75.  (See below for more info.)
+.TP
+.B \-grayscale
+Create monochrome JPEG file from color input.  Be sure to use this switch when
+compressing a grayscale BMP file, because
+.B cjpeg
+isn't bright enough to notice whether a BMP file uses only shades of gray.
+By saying
+.BR \-grayscale ,
+you'll get a smaller JPEG file that takes less time to process.
+.TP
+.B \-rgb
+Create RGB JPEG file.
+Using this switch suppresses the conversion from RGB
+colorspace input to the default YCbCr JPEG colorspace.
+.TP
+.B \-optimize
+Perform optimization of entropy encoding parameters.  Without this, default
+encoding parameters are used.
+.B \-optimize
+usually makes the JPEG file a little smaller, but
+.B cjpeg
+runs somewhat slower and needs much more memory.  Image quality and speed of
+decompression are unaffected by
+.BR \-optimize .
+.TP
+.B \-progressive
+Create progressive JPEG file (see below).
+.TP
+.B \-targa
+Input file is Targa format.  Targa files that contain an "identification"
+field will not be automatically recognized by
+.BR cjpeg ;
+for such files you must specify
+.B \-targa
+to make
+.B cjpeg
+treat the input as Targa format.
+For most Targa files, you won't need this switch.
+.PP
+The
+.B \-quality
+switch lets you trade off compressed file size against quality of the
+reconstructed image: the higher the quality setting, the larger the JPEG file,
+and the closer the output image will be to the original input.  Normally you
+want to use the lowest quality setting (smallest file) that decompresses into
+something visually indistinguishable from the original image.  For this
+purpose the quality setting should generally be between 50 and 95 (the default
+is 75) for photographic images.  If you see defects at
+.B \-quality
+75, then go up 5 or 10 counts at a time until you are happy with the output
+image.  (The optimal setting will vary from one image to another.)
+.PP
+.B \-quality
+100 will generate a quantization table of all 1's, minimizing loss in the
+quantization step (but there is still information loss in subsampling, as well
+as roundoff error.)  For most images, specifying a quality value above
+about 95 will increase the size of the compressed file dramatically, and while
+the quality gain from these higher quality values is measurable (using metrics
+such as PSNR or SSIM), it is rarely perceivable by human vision.
+.PP
+In the other direction, quality values below 50 will produce very small files
+of low image quality.  Settings around 5 to 10 might be useful in preparing an
+index of a large image library, for example.  Try
+.B \-quality
+2 (or so) for some amusing Cubist effects.  (Note: quality
+values below about 25 generate 2-byte quantization tables, which are
+considered optional in the JPEG standard.
+.B cjpeg
+emits a warning message when you give such a quality value, because some
+other JPEG programs may be unable to decode the resulting file.  Use
+.B \-baseline
+if you need to ensure compatibility at low quality values.)
+.PP
+The \fB-quality\fR option has been extended in this version of \fBcjpeg\fR to
+support separate quality settings for luminance and chrominance (or, in
+general, separate settings for every quantization table slot.)  The principle
+is the same as chrominance subsampling:  since the human eye is more sensitive
+to spatial changes in brightness than spatial changes in color, the chrominance
+components can be quantized more than the luminance components without
+incurring any visible image quality loss.  However, unlike subsampling, this
+feature reduces data in the frequency domain instead of the spatial domain,
+which allows for more fine-grained control.  This option is useful in
+quality-sensitive applications, for which the artifacts generated by
+subsampling may be unacceptable.
+.PP
+The \fB-quality\fR option accepts a comma-separated list of parameters, which
+respectively refer to the quality levels that should be assigned to the
+quantization table slots.  If there are more q-table slots than parameters,
+then the last parameter is replicated.  Thus, if only one quality parameter is
+given, this is used for both luminance and chrominance (slots 0 and 1,
+respectively), preserving the legacy behavior of cjpeg v6b and prior.
+More (or customized) quantization tables can be set with the \fB-qtables\fR
+option and assigned to components with the \fB-qslots\fR option (see the
+"wizard" switches below.)
+.PP
+JPEG files generated with separate luminance and chrominance quality are fully
+compliant with standard JPEG decoders.
+.PP
+.BR CAUTION:
+For this setting to be useful, be sure to pass an argument of \fB-sample 1x1\fR
+to \fBcjpeg\fR to disable chrominance subsampling.  Otherwise, the default
+subsampling level (2x2, AKA "4:2:0") will be used.
+.PP
+The
+.B \-progressive
+switch creates a "progressive JPEG" file.  In this type of JPEG file, the data
+is stored in multiple scans of increasing quality.  If the file is being
+transmitted over a slow communications link, the decoder can use the first
+scan to display a low-quality image very quickly, and can then improve the
+display with each subsequent scan.  The final image is exactly equivalent to a
+standard JPEG file of the same quality setting, and the total file size is
+about the same --- often a little smaller.
+.PP
+Switches for advanced users:
+.TP
+.B \-arithmetic
+Use arithmetic coding.
+.B Caution:
+arithmetic coded JPEG is not yet widely implemented, so many decoders will be
+unable to view an arithmetic coded JPEG file at all.
+.TP
+.B \-dct int
+Use integer DCT method (default).
+.TP
+.B \-dct fast
+Use fast integer DCT (less accurate).
+In libjpeg-turbo, the fast method is generally about 5-15% faster than the int
+method when using the x86/x86-64 SIMD extensions (results may vary with other
+SIMD implementations, or when using libjpeg-turbo without SIMD extensions.)
+For quality levels of 90 and below, there should be little or no perceptible
+difference between the two algorithms.  For quality levels above 90, however,
+the difference between the fast and the int methods becomes more pronounced.
+With quality=97, for instance, the fast method incurs generally about a 1-3 dB
+loss (in PSNR) relative to the int method, but this can be larger for some
+images.  Do not use the fast method with quality levels above 97.  The
+algorithm often degenerates at quality=98 and above and can actually produce a
+more lossy image than if lower quality levels had been used.  Also, in
+libjpeg-turbo, the fast method is not fully accelerated for quality levels
+above 97, so it will be slower than the int method.
+.TP
+.B \-dct float
+Use floating-point DCT method.
+The float method is mainly a legacy feature.  It does not produce significantly
+more accurate results than the int method, and it is much slower.  The float
+method may also give different results on different machines due to varying
+roundoff behavior, whereas the integer methods should give the same results on
+all machines.
+.TP
+.BI \-restart " N"
+Emit a JPEG restart marker every N MCU rows, or every N MCU blocks if "B" is
+attached to the number.
+.B \-restart 0
+(the default) means no restart markers.
+.TP
+.BI \-smooth " N"
+Smooth the input image to eliminate dithering noise.  N, ranging from 1 to
+100, indicates the strength of smoothing.  0 (the default) means no smoothing.
+.TP
+.BI \-maxmemory " N"
+Set limit for amount of memory to use in processing large images.  Value is
+in thousands of bytes, or millions of bytes if "M" is attached to the
+number.  For example,
+.B \-max 4m
+selects 4000000 bytes.  If more space is needed, temporary files will be used.
+.TP
+.BI \-outfile " name"
+Send output image to the named file, not to standard output.
+.TP
+.BI \-memdst
+Compress to memory instead of a file.  This feature was implemented mainly as a
+way of testing the in-memory destination manager (jpeg_mem_dest()), but it is
+also useful for benchmarking, since it reduces the I/O overhead.
+.TP
+.B \-verbose
+Enable debug printout.  More
+.BR \-v 's
+give more output.  Also, version information is printed at startup.
+.TP
+.B \-debug
+Same as
+.BR \-verbose .
+.TP
+.B \-version
+Print version information and exit.
+.PP
+The
+.B \-restart
+option inserts extra markers that allow a JPEG decoder to resynchronize after
+a transmission error.  Without restart markers, any damage to a compressed
+file will usually ruin the image from the point of the error to the end of the
+image; with restart markers, the damage is usually confined to the portion of
+the image up to the next restart marker.  Of course, the restart markers
+occupy extra space.  We recommend
+.B \-restart 1
+for images that will be transmitted across unreliable networks such as Usenet.
+.PP
+The
+.B \-smooth
+option filters the input to eliminate fine-scale noise.  This is often useful
+when converting dithered images to JPEG: a moderate smoothing factor of 10 to
+50 gets rid of dithering patterns in the input file, resulting in a smaller
+JPEG file and a better-looking image.  Too large a smoothing factor will
+visibly blur the image, however.
+.PP
+Switches for wizards:
+.TP
+.B \-baseline
+Force baseline-compatible quantization tables to be generated.  This clamps
+quantization values to 8 bits even at low quality settings.  (This switch is
+poorly named, since it does not ensure that the output is actually baseline
+JPEG.  For example, you can use
+.B \-baseline
+and
+.B \-progressive
+together.)
+.TP
+.BI \-qtables " file"
+Use the quantization tables given in the specified text file.
+.TP
+.BI \-qslots " N[,...]"
+Select which quantization table to use for each color component.
+.TP
+.BI \-sample " HxV[,...]"
+Set JPEG sampling factors for each color component.
+.TP
+.BI \-scans " file"
+Use the scan script given in the specified text file.
+.PP
+The "wizard" switches are intended for experimentation with JPEG.  If you
+don't know what you are doing, \fBdon't use them\fR.  These switches are
+documented further in the file wizard.txt.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.LP
+This example compresses the PPM file foo.ppm with a quality factor of
+60 and saves the output as foo.jpg:
+.IP
+.B cjpeg \-quality
+.I 60 foo.ppm
+.B >
+.I foo.jpg
+.SH HINTS
+Color GIF files are not the ideal input for JPEG; JPEG is really intended for
+compressing full-color (24-bit) images.  In particular, don't try to convert
+cartoons, line drawings, and other images that have only a few distinct
+colors.  GIF works great on these, JPEG does not.  If you want to convert a
+GIF to JPEG, you should experiment with
+.BR cjpeg 's
+.B \-quality
+and
+.B \-smooth
+options to get a satisfactory conversion.
+.B \-smooth 10
+or so is often helpful.
+.PP
+Avoid running an image through a series of JPEG compression/decompression
+cycles.  Image quality loss will accumulate; after ten or so cycles the image
+may be noticeably worse than it was after one cycle.  It's best to use a
+lossless format while manipulating an image, then convert to JPEG format when
+you are ready to file the image away.
+.PP
+The
+.B \-optimize
+option to
+.B cjpeg
+is worth using when you are making a "final" version for posting or archiving.
+It's also a win when you are using low quality settings to make very small
+JPEG files; the percentage improvement is often a lot more than it is on
+larger files.  (At present,
+.B \-optimize
+mode is always selected when generating progressive JPEG files.)
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+.TP
+.B JPEGMEM
+If this environment variable is set, its value is the default memory limit.
+The value is specified as described for the
+.B \-maxmemory
+switch.
+.B JPEGMEM
+overrides the default value specified when the program was compiled, and
+itself is overridden by an explicit
+.BR \-maxmemory .

+features not present in libjpeg.
+.SH ISSUES
+Support for GIF input files was removed in cjpeg v6b due to concerns over
+the Unisys LZW patent.  Although this patent expired in 2006, cjpeg still
+lacks GIF support, for these historical reasons.  (Conversion of GIF files to
+JPEG is usually a bad idea anyway, since GIF is a 256-color format.)
+.PP
+Not all variants of BMP and Targa file formats are supported.
+.PP
+The
+.B \-targa
+switch is not a bug, it's a feature.  (It would be a bug if the Targa format
+designers had not been clueless.)
