Solution

pamtotiff — Convert a PAM image to a TIFF file. More information: <https://netpbm.sourceforge.net/doc/pamtotiff.html>.

Convert a PAM image to a TIFF image:

pamtotiff {{path/to/input_file.pam}} > {{path/to/output_file.tiff}}

Explicitly specify a compression method for the output file:

pamtotiff -{{none|packbits|lzw|g3|g4|flate|adobeflate}} {{path/to/input_file.pam}} > {{path/to/output_file.tiff}}

Always produce a color TIFF image, even if the input image is greyscale:

pamtotiff {{[-c|-color]}} {{path/to/input_file.pam}} > {{path/to/output_file.tiff}}
