Hi

There are a couple of ways to convert jpeg files to .rgb files
if you are using IRIX 5.2 or greater ( maybe there below 5.2)
do a

        man -k image

and you will be given a list of commands that work with images. 2 that
you can use are:

you can load the image into "imgview" and then save the file as an
rgb

or use " imgcopy" to convert the file

                imgcopy -fsgi -Crgb <source Jpeg> <output rgb>

you can do a batch convert using "foreach" as follows..

        foreach pic ( *.jpg )
        imgcopy -fsgi -Crgb $pic $pic.rgb
        end

this will convert all the files with the given file extension and
append .rgb onto the end ( Have not worked out how to replace the
extention ( perhaps some else can suggest , but it works))

Hope this helps, the man pages should give you any further info that
you need

Regards

Gordon
