KDC2JPEG(1)

✨ KDC2JPEG(1) — the manual page, but make it make sense ✨

okay bestie, so this is the kdc2jpeg page from section 1 of the manual 💖 it converts Kodac kdc files into jpeg, and it is so much more thoughtful about it than you'd expect.

🌸 NAME 🌸

kdc2jpeg — convert Kodac kdc files to jpeg

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

kdc2jpeg [ global-options ] inputfile [local-options -o outputfile1 ]
     [ local-options -o outputfile2 ] ...

like, global options go up front, then your input file, then you can stack as many local-option groups as you want, each one with its own -o outputfile 👑 one input, many outputs, main character energy.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This manual page documents briefly the kdc2jpeg command. fr, it's the short version. And here's the tea: this manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. not even one. we had to do it ourselves 💅

kdc2jpeg is a program that converts Kodac kdc files to jpeg, and it does it with attention to:

• aspect ratio
• accurate scaling
• contrast adjustment
• gamma correction
• image rotation

that's a whole glow-up pipeline, no cap ✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

okay this is the part you actually came for. every single one, here we go 🫶

• -w # — output image width
• -h # — output image height
• -g # — absolute gamma correction
• +g # — relative gamma correction
• -G — no grain reduction (default)
• +G — reduce graininess
• +GG — reduce graininess (extra)
• +e — normal contrast enhancement (default)
• +E # — advanced contrast enhancement
• -e — no contrast enhancement
• -W wht — colour of light source
• +s — square pixels (default)
• -s — allow non-square pixels
• +f — fast processing
• -f — slow processing, high quality (default)
• +p — crop image if necessary to fit width and height (default)
• -p — no cropping, width and height are maximums
• -R — don't rotate image (default)
• +R — rotate image clockwise
• +B — rotate image counter-clockwise
• -C — copy note copyright in output file
• -q # — JPEG quality setting (0 to 100, default is 75)
• +P — create progressive JPEG file

not me pointing out that the plus and minus versions are literally opposites and the default is almost always the minus one except where it isn't 🙈 read them carefully bestie, the signs flip the whole vibe.
