hey bestie 💖 this is TRANSLATE(1), a user command, and it's literally about translating colors through an ICC profile. Let's get into it, no cap. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

Translate — bestie, it's literally translating colors through an ICC profile. That's the whole vibe. 🎨💅

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so Translate does exactly what it says on the tin: it translates colors through an ICC profile. That's the main character energy. 🌈✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

icclu [-v level] [-f func] [-i intent] [-o order] profile

Now the options, bestie — one bullet each, and yes, every single one is here:

  • -v level — verbosity level 0 - 2, default = 1. So like, how much tea do you want it to spill? 🫖
  • -f function — pick your function: f = forward, b = backwards, g = gamut, p = preview. It's giving choose-your-own-adventure. 🔥
  • -i intent — the intent: p = perceptual, r = relative colorimetric, s = saturation, a = absolute. Slay. 💅
  • -p oride — (yes it's spelled oride in the source, don't come for me) x = XYZ_PCS, l = Lab_PCS, y = Yxy,. Note the comma after Yxy — it's canon. 🎀
  • -o order — order: n = normal (priority: lut > matrix > monochrome), r = reverse (priority: monochrome > matrix > lut). The way that priority list is doing the most. 😭
  • -s scale — scale the device range 0.0 - scale rather than 0.0 - 1.0. So you can stretch that range like it's a filter. 🦋
The colors to be translated should be fed into standard input, one input color per line, white space separated. A line starting with a # will be ignored. A line not starting with a number will terminate the program. So basically: feed it colors, comment with #, and if it ain't a number, the program says bye. 💀

Okay that's the whole page. This manual page is from icclu, dated September 2014, and it lives in manual section TRANSLATE(1). Periodt. 💖✨
