tiff2bw - convert a color TIFF image to greyscale

Tiff2bw  converts an RGB or Palette color TIFF image to a greyscale image by combining percentages of the
       red, green, and blue channels.  By default, output samples are created by taking 28% of the red  channel,
       59%  of  the  green channel, and 11% of the blue channel.  To alter these percentages, the -R, -G, and -B
       options may be used.

-c     Specify a compression scheme to use when writing image  data:  -cnone  for  no  compression,  -cpackbits  for the PackBits compression algorithm, -czip for the Deflate compression algorithm, -cg3 for the CCITT Group 3 compression algorithm, -cg4 for the CCITT Group 4 compression algorithm,
              and -clzw for Lempel-Ziv & Welch (the default).

       -r     Write data with a specified number of rows per strip; by  default  the  number  of  rows/strip  is
              selected so that each strip is approximately 8 kilobytes.

       -R     Specify the percentage of the red channel to use (default 28).

       -G     Specify the percentage of the green channel to use (default 59).

       -B     Specify the percentage of the blue channel to use (default 11).
