CREATE(1)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this is the CREATE(1) manual page, and the star of the show is Create — literally here to create an ICC profile. that's the name, no notes, periodt.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Create creates an ICC profile. short, sweet, iconic. That's the whole description. she said what she said.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

colprof [-options] inoutfile

the synopsis says colprof even though the name says Create — i don't make the rules, bestie 💅

🎀 the flags, in order, no cap 🎀

• -v — Verbose mode. she's chatty.
• -A manufacturer — Manufacturer description string. tell her who made it.
• -M model — Model description string.
• -D description — Profile Description string (Default "inoutfile").
• -C copyright — Copyright string.
• -Z tmnb — Attributes: Transparency, Matte, Negative, BlackAndWhite.
• -Z prsa — Default intent: Perceptual, Rel. Colorimetric, Saturation, Abs. Colorimetric.
• -q lmhu — Quality — Low, Medium (def), High, Ultra. medium is the default, bestie.
• -b [lmhun] — Low quality B2A table — or specific B2A quality or none for input device.
• -ni — Don't create input (Device) shaper curves.
• -np — Don't create input (Device) grid position curves.
• -no — Don't create output (PCS) shaper curves.
• -nc — Don't put the input .ti3 data in the profile.
• -k zhxr — Black value target: z = zero K, h = 0.5 K, x = max K, r = ramp K (def.).
• -k p stle stpo enpo enle shape — the detailed K curve form, okay:
  • stle: K level at White 0.0 - 1.0
  • stpo: start point of transition Wh 0.0 - Bk 1.0
  • enpo: End point of transition Wh 0.0 - Bk 1.0
  • enle: K level at Black 0.0 - 1.0
  • shape: 1.0 = straight, 0.0-1.0 concave, 1.0-2.0 convex
• -K parameters — Same as -k, but target is K locus rather than K value itself.
• -l tlimit — override total ink limit, 0 - 400% (default from .ti3).
• -L klimit — override black ink limit, 0 - 100% (default from .ti3).
• -a lxXgsmGS — Algorithm type override:
  • l = Lab cLUT (def.)
  • x = XYZ cLUT
  • X = display XYZ cLUT + matrix
  • g = gamma+matrix
  • s = shaper+matrix
  • m = matrix only
  • G = single gamma+matrix
  • S = single shaper+matrix
• -u — If input profile, auto scale WP to allow extrapolation.
• -uc — If input profile, clip cLUT values above WP.
• -U scale — If input profile, scale media white point by scale.
• -R — Restrict white <= 1.0, black and primaries to be +ve.
• -V demphasis — Degree of dark region cLUT grid emphasis 1.0-4.0 (default 1.00 = none). yes, it's spelled demphasis.
• -f [illum] — Use Fluorescent Whitening Agent compensation [opt. simulated inst. illum.:
  • M0, M1, M2, A, C, D50 (def.), D50M2, D65, F5, F8, F10 or file.sp]
• -i illum — Choose illuminant for computation of CIE XYZ from spectral data & FWA:
  • A, C, D50 (def.), D50M2, D65, F5, F8, F10 or file.sp
• -o observ — Choose CIE Observer for spectral data:
  • 1931_2 (def), 1964_10, S&B 1955_2, shaw, J&V 1978_2
• -r avgdev — Average deviation of device+instrument readings as a percentage (default 0.50%).
• -s src.icc — Apply gamut mapping to output profile perceptual B2A table for given source space.
• -S src.icc — Apply gamut mapping to output profile perceptual and saturation B2A table.
• -nP — Use colormetric source gamut to make output profile perceptual table.
• -nS — Use colormetric source gamut to make output profile saturation table.
• -g src.gam — Use source image gamut as well for output profile gamut mapping.
• -p absprof,... — Incorporate abstract profile(s) into output tables.
• -t intent — Override gamut mapping intent for output profile perceptual table:
• -T intent — Override gamut mapping intent for output profile saturation table:
  • a - Absolute Colorimetric (in Jab) [ICC Absolute Colorimetric]
  • aw - Absolute Colorimetric (in Jab) with scaling to fit white point
  • aa - Absolute Appearance
  • r - White Point Matched Appearance [ICC Relative Colorimetric]
  • la - Luminance axis matched Appearance
  • p - Perceptual (Preferred) (Default) [ICC Perceptual]
  • pa - Perceptual Apperance
  • ms - Saturation
  • s - Enhanced Saturation [ICC Saturation]
  • al - Absolute Colorimetric (Lab)
  • rl - White Point Matched Colorimetric (Lab)
• -c viewcond — set input viewing conditions for output profile CIECAM02 gamut mapping,
  • either an enumerated choice, or a parameter
• -d viewcond — set output viewing conditions for output profile CIECAM02 gamut mapping
  • either an enumerated choice, or a parameter Also sets out of gamut clipping CAM space. either an enumerated choice, or a series of parameters:value changes
• the viewcond enumerated choices, bestie:
  • pp - Practical Reflection Print (ISO-3664 P2)
  • pe - Print evaluation environment (CIE 116-1995)
  • pc - Critical print evaluation environment (ISO-3664 P1)
  • mt - Monitor in typical work environment
  • mb - Bright monitor in bright work environment

and that's the whole page, bestie — every flag, every value, every little detail. you're welcome 💖
