NAME
       mrc2tif - Create one or more TIFF image files from an MRC image file.

SYNOPSIS
       mrc2tif [-s] <mrc file> <tiff file root name>

DESCRIPTION
       mrc2tif usually creates a series of TIFF files with the prefix <tiff
       root name> and with the suffix nnn.tif, where nnn is the z number.
       Byte, signed and unsigned 16-bit integer, float, and RGB color files
       (modes 0, 1, 6, 2, 16) can be converted.  If the input file has only
       one section, then the output file will simply be the <tiff root name>
       with no suffix added.

       If the option -s is given, then a single output file will be created, a
       TIFF stack with all of the sections in the input file.

       When the mode is integer or float, the TIFF file will contain the mini-
       mum and maximum value for the data in the file.  When a TIFF stack is
       created, each image will have the same overall minimum and maximum,
       rather than values specific to that image.  This way, 3dmod will be
       able to read in the data with proper scaling.
