ICC2PS(1)

💖 ICC2PS(1) — the icc2ps manual page, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual entry for icc2ps. She's a little program with a big job, and I'm gonna walk you through her whole entire vibe. No gatekeeping, fr fr. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

icc2ps — little cms PostScript converter. that's it, that's the name 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

icc2ps [options]

No positional args, no drama. Just options. She's low maintenance like that. 💅

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So here's the tea, bestie. 🌸

lcms is a standalone CMM engine — and CMM means color management, iykyk. What it does is handle all the color management business, and it implements a fast transformation between ICC profiles. Like, it's literally out here converting colors at speed.

And icc2ps? She's the little cms PostScript converter. That's her whole thing. That's the assignment and she ate it up. 👑

✨ OPTIONS ✨

Okay, this is the part where we go through every single flag, one by one, no skipping. Every one is iconic in her own way. 🫶

• -b — Black point compensation. CRD only, though! Don't come for me if you try it elsewhere, it's giving CRD-only energy. 💀
• -i profile — The input profile. What does it do with it? It generates a Color Space Array (CSA). That's the input side of the glow-up. ✨
• -o profile — The output profile. This one generates a Color Rendering Dictionary (CRD). Note the spelling of "Rendering" and "Dictionary" — I'm keeping it exactly as the original says, no autocorrect up in here. 📚
• -t <0,1,2,3> — The intent, aka the mood, aka the vibe check for your color conversion. Pick one:
  1. 0 = Perceptual
  1. 1 = Colorimetric
  1. 2 = Saturation
  1. 3 = Absolute

Four options, four moods. Choose wisely, bestie. 🌈

• -u — Do NOT generate resource name on CRD. Yeah, she said what she said. This flag is the "actually, don't" of the whole operation. 🙈
