linkicc - little cms device link generator.
linkicc [options] profiles
lcms is a standalone CMM engine, which deals with the color management. It implements a fast transformation between ICC profiles. linkicc is a 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.
−a NUM |
Observer adaptation state (abs.col. only), (0..1.0, float value) [defaults to 1.0]. | ||
−b |
Black point compensation. |
−c precision
Precision (0=LowRes, 1=Normal, 2=Hi-res) [defaults to 1].
−d description
Description text (quotes can be used).
−h NUM |
Show summary of options and examples (0=help, 1=Built-in profiles, 2=Examples, 3=Contact information) |
−k inklimit
Ink-limiting in % (CMYK only), (0..400.0, float value) [default 400.0].
−l |
Use linearization curves (may affect accuracy). |
−n gridpoints
Alternate way to set precision, number of CLUT points.
−o profile
Output devicelink profile [defaults to ’devicelink.icm’].
−r profileversion
Profile version. (CAUTION: may change the profile implementation), (2.0..4.3, float value) [defaults to 4.3].
−t NUM |
Rendering intent |
0=Perceptual [default]
1=Relative colorimetric
2=Saturation
3=Absolute colorimetric
10=Perceptual preserving black ink
11=Relative colorimetric preserving black ink
12=Saturation preserving black ink
13=Perceptual preserving black plane
14=Relative colorimetric preserving black plane
15=Saturation preserving black plane
−v verbosity
Verbosity level, (0=None, 1=Normal, 2=High, 3=Very High) [defaults to 0].
−x |
Creatively, guess deviceclass of resulting profile. |
−y copyright
Copyright notice (quotes can be used) ["No copyright, use freely"].
−8 |
Creates 8-bit devicelink. |
*Lab2 -- D50-based v2 CIEL*a*b
*Lab4 -- D50-based v4 CIEL*a*b | |
*Lab -- D50-based v4 CIEL*a*b | |
*XYZ -- CIE XYZ (PCS) | |
*sRGB -- sRGB color space | |
*Gray22 - Monochrome of Gamma 2.2 | |
*Gray30 - Monochrome of Gamma 3.0 | |
*null - Monochrome black for all input | |
*Lin2222- CMYK linearization of gamma 2.2 on each channel |
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 |
