[GRASSLIST:239] How can I change the 16bit TIFF file to 8bit TIFF file?

Hello!!!

I am a biginner of the GRASS.
Please tell me, how can I change a 16 bit TIFF file to 8 bit TIFF file when
I am trying to import a TIFF file into the GRASS using [ r.in.tiff] command?
Heartfully Thankes to you
Sincerely

You will have to use another program, like the Gimp, ImageMagick
  or Photoshop.

It may be better to use 'r.in.gdal' instead of 'r.in.tiff'.
