✨ CREATE(1) ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because we're about to talk about the Create command — a User Commands girlie through and through, and honestly? she's iconic. 🎀

💖 NAME 💖

Create — she makes a synthetic calibration file. that's it. that's the job. and she does it flawlessly. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so like, Create creates a synthetic calibration file. no cap. and this is Version 1.6.3, so you know she's been through some things and came out thriving. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

synthcal [-options] outfile

now let's break down the options, because the way this thing takes flags is genuinely giving main character energy. 👑

🫶 the flags, one by one 🫶

• -t N — this is your mode picker, lowkey. i = input, o = output, and d = display — which, btw, is the default. so if you don't say anything, she's displaying. periodt. 💖
• -d col_comb — pick your colorant combination from this lil menu right here. default is 3, iykyk:
  • 0: Print grey
  • 1: Video grey
  • 2: Print RGB
  • 3: Video RGB
  • 4: CMYK
  • 5: CMY
  • 6: CMYK + Light CM
  • 7: CMYK + Light CMK
  • 8: CMYK + Red + Blue
  • 9: CMYK + Orange + Green
  • 10: CMYK + Light CMK + Light Light K
  • 11: CMYK + Orange + Green + Light CM
  • 12: CMYK + Light CM + Medium CM

okay that's a lot of combos and honestly? we're obsessed with the range. 🌈

• -D colorant — add or delete a colorant from the combination. oh and heads up bestie: use -?? to list the known colorants, because guessing is not the vibe. 🧚
• -o o1,o2,o3, — set the non-linear curve offset. default is 0.0. yes, you can list a bunch of them, just keep the commas coming. 🍓
• -s s1,s2,s3, — set the non-linear curve scale. default is 1.0. same deal, comma-separated lil lineup. ✨
• -p p1,p2,p3, — set the non-linear curve powers. default is 1.0. look at you, all powerful. 💪
• -E description — set the profile dEscription string. that capital E in the middle of "dEscription"? not a typo, it's just her quirky lil signature. 💀
• outfile — the base name for the output .cal file. this is the one where all your hard work lands, so name her something cute. 🎀

🌟 reminder bestie: those defaults aren't suggestions, they're just what happens when you don't speak up. <pink>d</pink>, <pink>3</pink>, <pink>0.0</pink>, <pink>1.0</pink>, <pink>1.0</pink>. memorize it. 🫶
