🌸 CONVERT(1) — like, the manual page, bestie 💅

okay so first things first: this page lives in section 1 of the manual (that's <pink>CONVERT(1)</pink>, the user commands zone, iykyk), and the actual command you're gonna be running is Convert. Buckle up, this one's a glow-up for your color data. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

Convert — Convert Gretag/Logo or X-Rite ColorPport raw RGB or CMYK device profile data to Argyll CGATS data.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So basically: you've got raw RGB or CMYK device profile data from a Gretag/Logo or an X-Rite ColorPport, and you want it in Argyll CGATS format instead. That's the whole serve. This is Version 1.6.3, periodt. 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

txt2ti3 [-v] [-l limit] [devfile] infile [specfile] outbase

Here's the breakdown of every single flag and argument, no skips, no skimming, we're doing this properly:

  • -2 — also create a dummy .ti2 file. Two files for the price of one, we love a bonus. ✨
  • -l limit — sets the ink limit, from 0 to 400%. If you don't pass it, the default is the max that's already in the file. 💅
  • -d — says the device type is a Display, not an Output.
  • -i — says the device type is an Input, not an Output.
  • [devfile] — the input Device CMYK target file (typically file.txt). Optional, hence the lil brackets. 🌸
  • infile — the input CIE, Spectral, or Device & Spectral file (typically file.txt). This one's not optional bestie, it's required.
  • [specfile] — the input Spectral file (typically file.txt). Also optional.
  • outbasename — the output file basename for the .ti3 and .ti2. That's the name everything gets built off of. 👑
heads up: the synopsis line up there also shows a -v flag, and that's literally all it says about it. Not a single word more. The manpage said "figure it out." 🙈

🌈 that's the whole thing 🌈

that's the page!! every flag, every argument, every file, every default, all present and accounted for. go forth and convert your color data, you absolute icon. 💜
