+To convert a file between formats, run:
+  bfconvert [-debug] [-stitch] [-separate] [-merge] [-expand]
+    [-bigtiff] [-compression codec] [-series series] [-map id]
+    in_file out_file
+      -debug: turn on debugging output
+     -stitch: stitch input files with similar names
+   -separate: split RGB images into separate channels
+      -merge: combine separate channels into RGB image
+     -expand: expand indexed color to RGB
+    -bigtiff: force BigTIFF files to be written
+-compression: specify the codec to use when saving images
+     -series: specify which image series to convert
+        -map: specify file on disk to which name should be mapped
+If any of the following patterns are present in out_file, they will
+be replaced with the indicated metadata value from the input file.
+   Pattern:     Metadata value:
+   ---------------------------
+   %s           series index
+   %n           series name
+   %c           channel index
+   %w           channel name
+   %z           Z index
+   %t           T index
+If any of these patterns are present, then the images to be saved
+will be split into multiple files.  For example, if the input file
+contains 5 Z sections and 3 timepoints, and out_file is
+  converted_Z%z_T%t.tiff
+then 15 files will be created, with the names
+  converted_Z0_T0.tiff
+  converted_Z0_T1.tiff
+  converted_Z0_T2.tiff
+  converted_Z1_T0.tiff
+  ...
+  converted_Z4_T2.tiff
+Each file would have a single image plane.
