4 icclink - little cms device link generator.
7 .RI [ options ] " <profiles>"
9 lcms is a standalone CMM engine, which deals with the color management.
10 It implements a fast transformation between ICC profiles.
12 is little cms device link generator.
14 Links two or more profiles into a single devicelink profile.
15 Colorspaces must be paired except Lab/XYZ, that can be interchanged.
19 Creates 8-bit devicelink.
22 Black point compensation.
25 Precision (0=LowRes, 1=Normal, 2=Hi-res). [defaults to 1]
28 Description text (quotes can be used).
31 Show summary of options and examples.
34 Input profile (defaults to sRGB).
37 Ink-limiting in % (CMYK only)
40 Output devicelink profile. [defaults to 'devicelink.icm']
43 Intent (0=Perceptual, 1=Colorimetric, 2=Saturation, 3=Absolute).
46 Creatively, guess deviceclass of resulting profile.
50 *Lab -- D50-based CIEL*a*b (PCS)
52 *sRGB -- sRGB color space
53 *Gray22- Monochrome of Gamma 2.2
54 *Lin2222- CMYK linearization of gamma 2.2 on each channel
58 To create 'devicelink.icm' from a.icc to b.icc:
61 To create 'out.icc' from sRGB to cmyk.icc:
62 icclink -o out.icc *sRGB cmyk.icc
64 To create a sRGB input profile working in Lab:
65 icclink -x -o sRGBLab.icc *sRGB *Lab
67 To create a XYZ -> sRGB output profile:
68 icclink -x -o sRGBLab.icc *XYZ *sRGB
70 To create a abstract profile doing softproof for cmyk.icc:
71 icclink -t1 -x -o softproof.icc *Lab cmyk.icc cmyk.icc *Lab
73 To create a 'grayer' sRGB input profile:
74 icclink -x -o grayer.icc *sRGB gray.icc gray.icc *Lab
76 To embed ink limiting into a cmyk output profile:
77 icclink -x -o cmyklimited.icc -k 250 cmyk.icc *Lab
