NAME

tificc - little cms ICC profile applier for TIFF.

SYNOPSIS

tificc [options] input.tif output.tif

DESCRIPTION

lcms is a standalone CMM engine, which deals with the color management. It implements a fast transformation between ICC profiles. tificc is a little cms ICC profile applier for TIFF.

OPTIONS

-a

Handle channels > 4 as alpha.

-b

Black point compensation.

-c NUM

Precalculates transform (0=Off, 1=Normal, 2=Hi-res, 3=LoRes) [defaults to 1].

-d NUM

Observer adaptation state (abs.col. only), (0..1.0, float value) [defaults to 0.0].

-e

Embed destination profile.

-g

Marks out-of-gamut colors on softproof.

-h NUM

Show summary of options and examples (0=help, 1=Examples, 2=Built-in profiles, 3=Contact information)

-i profile

Input profile (defaults to sRGB).

-k inklimit

Ink-limiting in % (CMYK only), (0..400.0, float value) [default 400.0].

-l profile

Transform by device-link profile.

-m TODO: check if values outside 0..3 are possible

SoftProof intent [defaults to 0].

-n

Ignore embedded profile on input.

-o profile

Output profile (defaults to sRGB).

-p profile

Soft proof profile.

-s newprofile

Save embedded profile as newprofile.

-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

Verbose.

-w NUM

Output depth (8, 16 or 32). Use 32 for floating-point.

EXAMPLES

To color correct from scanner to sRGB:
        tificc -iscanner.icm in.tif out.tif
To convert from monitor1 to monitor2:
        tificc -imon1.icm -omon2.icm in.tif out.tif
To make a CMYK separation:
        tificc -oprinter.icm inrgb.tif outcmyk.tif
To recover sRGB from a CMYK separation:
        tificc -iprinter.icm incmyk.tif outrgb.tif
To convert from CIELab TIFF to sRGB
        tificc -i*Lab in.tif out.tif
