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. Colorspaces 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 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.

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
