NAME
linkicc - little cms device link generator.
SYNOPSIS
linkicc
[
options]
<profiles>
DESCRIPTION
lcms is a standalone CMM engine, which deals with the color management.
It implements a fast transformation between ICC profiles.
linkicc
is little cms device link generator.
Links two or more profiles into a single devicelink profile.
Colorspaces must be paired except Lab/XYZ, that can be interchanged.
OPTIONS
- -8
-
Creates 8-bit devicelink.
- -b
-
Black point compensation.
- -c <0,1,2,3>
-
Precission (0=LowRes, 1=Normal, 2=Hi-res). [defaults to 1]
- -d description
-
Description text (quotes can be used).
- -h <0,1,2,3>
-
Show summary of options and examples.
- -i profile
-
Input profile (defaults to sRGB).
- -k <0..400>
-
Ink-limiting in % (CMYK only)
- -o profile
-
Output devicelink profile. [defaults to 'devicelink.icm']
- -t <0,1,2,3>
-
Intent (0=Perceptual, 1=Colorimetric, 2=Saturation, 3=Absolute).
- -x
-
Creatively, guess deviceclass of resulting profile.
- Built-in profiles:
*Lab -- D50-based CIEL*a*b (PCS)
*XYZ -- CIE XYZ (PCS)
*sRGB -- sRGB color space
*Gray22- Monochrome of Gamma 2.2
*Lin2222- CMYK linearization of gamma 2.2 on each channel
EXAMPLES
To create 'devicelink.icm' from a.icc to b.icc:
linkicc a.icc b.icc
To create 'out.icc' from sRGB to cmyk.icc:
linkicc -o out.icc *sRGB cmyk.icc
To create a sRGB input profile working in Lab:
linkicc -x -o sRGBLab.icc *sRGB *Lab
To create a XYZ -> sRGB output profile:
linkicc -x -o sRGBLab.icc *XYZ *sRGB
To create a abstract profile doing softproof for cmyk.icc:
linkicc -t1 -x -o softproof.icc *Lab cmyk.icc cmyk.icc *Lab
To create a 'grayer' sRGB input profile:
linkicc -x -o grayer.icc *sRGB gray.icc gray.icc *Lab
To embed ink limiting into a cmyk output profile:
linkicc -x -o cmyklimited.icc -k 250 cmyk.icc *Lab
