💖 iv(1) — the image viewer bestie 💖

okay so. this is iv, the image viewer, from the OpenImageIO era. she's that girl. let's get into it 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Usage: iv [options] [filename... | dirname...]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. you hand her some files, or some directories, and she shows you pictures. main character energy fr fr 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so this program is part of the OpenImageIO tool suite — the whole squad lives over at http://www.openimageio.org if you wanna come hang 💅

and if you want the detailed documentation? it's available in pdf format, shipped right there with the OpenImageIO distribution. no cap, go read it, it's giving thorough 📚✨

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

  • --help — prints the help message. she's helpful, she's polite, she's literally just telling you what's up 🫶
  • --version — prints the version and then dips. exits immediately, no small talk 👑
  • -v — verbose status messages. she will narrate. she will keep you updated. obsessed honestly 😭
  • -F — foreground mode. no backgrounding, she stays right here with you 💖
  • --no-autopremult — turns off the automatic premultiplication of images that have unassociated alpha. yep, that auto-magic is getting switched off, bestie 🙈
  • --rawcolor — do not automatically transform to RGB. leave the colors exactly as they came, raw, untouched ✨
  • --display STRING — OCIO display 🌈
  • --image-color-space STRING — OCIO image color space 🎨
  • --view STRING — OCIO view 👀
okay real talk: those three OCIO ones (--display, --image-color-space, --view) all take a STRING argument, so don't forget to actually pass her one, or she'll be standing there like 🧍‍♀️

🌟 that's the whole page 🌟

every option accounted for, nothing skipped, we ate and left no crumbs 💅🍓
