+.UN description
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This program is part of
+.BR "Netpbm" (1)\c
+\&.
+.PP
+\fBpamtopfm\fP reads a Netpbm image (PNM or PAM) and converts it
+to a PFM (Portable Float Map) image.
+.PP
+The PFM (Portable Float Map) image format is a lot like PPM, but uses
+floating point numbers with no maxval to achieve a High Dynamic Range
+(HDR) format. That means it doesn't have a concept of absolute color
+and it can represent generic light intensity information rather than
+just visual information like PPM does. For example, two pixels that
+are so close in intensity that the human eye cannot tell them apart
+are not visually distinct, so a visual image format such as PPM would
+have no reason to use different sample values for them. But an HDR format
+would.
+.PP
+There are details of the PFM format in the
+.BR "PFM
+Format Description" (5)\c
+\&.
+.PP
+.UR http://www.debevec.org/HDRShop
+USC's HDRShop program
+.UE
+\& and a program called Lefty use it.
+
+\fBpamtopfm\fP creates a color PFM image if its input is RGB (PPM)
+and a non-color PFM otherwise.
+.PP
+Use
+.BR "\fBpfmtopam\fP" (1)\c
+\& to convert a PFM
+image to Netpbm format.

+.UN options
+.SH OPTIONS
+
+
+.TP
+\fB-scale=\fP\fIfloat\fP
+.sp
+This specifies the scale factor of the PFM image.
+ Scale factor is a component of the PFM format.
+ Default is 1.0.
+
+.TP
+\fB-endian=\fP{\fBbig\fP|\fBlittle\fP}
+.sp
+This specifies the endianness of the PFM image. The samples
+ in the raster of a PFM image are 4 byte IEEE floating point
+ numbers. A parameter of the IEEE format, and therefore the PFM
+ format, is endianness, i.e. whether the specified bytes are
+ ordered from low addresses to high addresses or vice versa.
+.sp
+\fBbig\fP means big endian -- the natural ordering;
+ \fBlittle\fP means little-endian, the Intel-friendly ordering.
+.sp
+Default is whichever endianness the machine on which \fBpamtopfm\fP
+ runs uses internally, which results in the faster execution.
