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 a
little cms device link generator.
Links two or more profiles into a single devicelink profile. Col-
orspaces must be paired except Lab/XYZ, that can be interchanged.
OPTIONS
-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 pro-
files, 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 implementa-
tion), (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.
BUILT-IN PROFILES
*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
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
