💅 PSICC(1) — the little cms PostScript converter, bestie edition

okay so this is the manual page for psicc, a lil' tool from the little cms family. it lives in section 1 of the General Commands Manual. yes queen, we're doing manpage lore today 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

psicc — little cms PostScript converter. that's it, that's the whole name section. short, sweet, iconic 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

psicc [options]

just you, your options, and destiny ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so lcms is a standalone CMM engine — that's color management, and it's literally its whole personality. it handles all the color stuff and implements a fast transformation between ICC profiles. no cap, it's quick.

and psicc? it's the little cms PostScript converter, bestie. that's the vibe. that's the job. 💖

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -b — Black point compensation. (CRD only) — so don't expect it to do anything outside CRD land, okay?
  • -c precision — set the precision: 0=LowRes, 1=Normal, 2=Hi-res. (CRD only) and it [defaults to 1]. normal girlie behaviour tbh.
  • -i profile — Input profile. this one generates a Color Space Array (CSA) ✨
  • -n gridpoints — the alternate way to set precision: it's the number of CLUT points. (CRD only) — so if -c wasn't your thing, this is the other door 🚪
  • -o profile — Output profile. this one generates a Color Rendering Dictionary (CRD) 🫶
  • -t intent — the rendering intent: 0=Perceptual, 1=Colorimetric, 2=Saturation, 3=Absolute. [defaults to 0] — so if you say nothing, you get Perceptual, periodt.
  • -u — Do NOT generate resource name on CRD. lowercase u for "uh, no thanks" 🙈

📝 NOTES 📝
