💅 NAME

okay so bestie, meet ansel-cmstest — the little tool whose whole entire job is checking whether your computer's color management subsystem is set up correctly. that's it. that's the vibe check. ✨

(this page lives in the darktable manual, btw, in case you were wondering where you wandered into 🫶)

🌸 SYNOPSIS

ansel-cmstest

literally no flags, no arguments, no little extras to remember. she takes zero notes, zero options. just run her. periodt. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION

so ansel is a digital photography workflow application for Linux, Mac OS X and several other Unices — and if you wanna know more about that, go read ansel(1), she's got her own whole page. 📖

now ansel-cmstest? her specific lil mission is investigating whether the color management subsystem of your computer is correctly configured, and then showing you some genuinely useful information about the monitor profile(s) you've got installed. so if your colors have been looking kinda sus, this is the girly to ask. 🌈

no cap, she's a diagnostics icon and she ate. 👑
