It supports accurate ICC profile creation for scanners, + cameras and film recorders, and calibration and profiling of + displays and RGB & CMYK printers. Spectral sample data is + supported, allowing a selection of illuminants observer types, and + paper fluorescent whitener additive compensation. Profiles can also + incorporate source specific gamut mappings for perceptual and + saturation intents. Gamut mapping and profile linking uses the + CIECAM02 appearance model, a unique gamut mapping algorithm, and a + wide selection of rendering intents. Device Link can be created with + a wide variety of advanced options. It also includes code for the + fastest portable 8 bit raster color conversion engine available + anywhere, as well as support for fast, fully accurate 16 bit + conversion. Device color gamuts can also be viewed and compared + using a VRML viewer. Comprehensive documentation is provided for + each major tool, and a general guide to using the tools for typical + color management tasks is also available. A mailing list provides + support for more advanced usage.<br> + <p>This is Version 1.5.1, a bug fix and feature update to V1.5.0 + released on 1st March 2013. The first public release of icclib was + in November 1998, and of Argyll was in October 2000. Code + development commenced in 1995.

Sometimes the filenames will have to include the usual + extensions, sometimes they are implicit. To get a brief listing of + the possible arguments and <span style="font-weight: bold;">usage</span> + of any of the tools, run it with just an "-?" argument, i.e. <b>targen + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + -? </b>(or some other unrecognized flag, if the "?" character is + treated specially in your shell, i.e. try "--" on OS X zsh).<br> + <br> + Note that in general the arguments consist of possible flags or + options followed by file name arguments. All arguments need to be + separated by whitespace. (If you need to specify a string with + embedded white space, double quote the string). A flag consists of a + dash attached to a single letter, the letter identifying the flag, + and is usually case sensitive. An option is a flag that has an + associated parameter or parameters. The parameter can be separated + from the flag by white space, or may come directly after the flag. + So if a tool has a usage that looks like this:<br> + <br> + tool -?<br> + usage: tool [options] infile outfile<br> + + -v + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Verbose mode<br> + -d + n + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Choose a depth 0-4<br> + -r + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Use a random depth<br> + -f + [nn] + Use full range. nn optional range 0 - 100.<br> + -M + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Manual<br> + infile + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Input file<br> + outfile + + Output file<br> + <br> + then there are 5 flags/options, and two filename arguments. + Notice that square braces [] denote optional items. The first + flag/option is a flag. The second is an option that has a numerical + argument in the range 0 to 4. The third is a flag. the fourth is an + option with an optional argument. The fourth is a flag. The + flags and options can generally be in any order, but must be before + the file name arguments. (For a few special tools you actually + specify a sequence of flags and files where the flags apply just to + the following file.) So example invocations may look like:<br> + <br> + tool -v testin testout<br> + tool -d3 -M testin1 testout2<br> + tool -f infile outfile<br> + tool -f 45 infile outfile<br> + tool -d 3 -f67 infile outfile<br> + <p>In order to make use of the tools, it is necessary to keep track + of where various files are, and what they are called. There are + many possible ways of doing this. One way is to put each source + profile and all its associated files (test charts, spectrometer + values etc.) in one set of directories for each source profile + type. Similarly the device profiles could be stored in a hierarchy + of directories ordered by device type, media, resolution, device + mode etc. Naturally you will want to set your $PATH so that you + can run the tools from whichever directory you are in, as well as + specify any necessary directory paths for file arguments so that + the tools are able to open them.<br> + </p> + <p>Note that there are two ways the Argyll tools deal with filename + extensions. In one you supply the extension (ie. you supply the + whole file name), so the extension is up to you. In the other + (used where one name is used for input and output files, or where + there are multiple output files), the program adds the extension. + In the documentation this should be indicated by calling it a + "base name".<br> + </p> + <p><a name="cltutes"></a>For more information on using a command + line environments, consult an appropriate tutorial:</p> + <p>MS Windows :<br> + <<a + href="http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial76.html">http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial76.html</a>><br> + <<a + href="http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleid=1723&page=1">http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleid=1723&page=1</a>><br> + <<a + href="http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/articles/command_line.shtml">http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/articles/command_line.shtml</a>><br> + <br> + To find more: <<a +href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=windows+command+prompt+tutorial">http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=windows+command+prompt+tutorial></a><br> + <br> + OS X:<br> + <<a + href="http://www.osxfaq.com/Tutorials/LearningCenter/">http://www.osxfaq.com/Tutorials/LearningCenter/</a>><br> + <<a + href="http://www.atomiclearning.com/macosxterminalx.shtml">http://www.atomiclearning.com/macosxterminalx.shtml</a>><br> + <<a + href="http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/mac/2001/12/14/terminal_one.html">http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/mac/2001/12/14/terminal_one.html</a>><br> + <br> + To find more: <<a + href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=OS+X+shell+tutorial">http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=OS+X+shell+tutorial</a>><br> + <br> + Linux:<br> + <<a + href="http://www.linuxcommand.org/index.php">http://www.linuxcommand.org/index.php</a>><br> + <<a + href="http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/shell.html">http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/shell.html</a>><br> + <<a + href="http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/">http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/</a>><br> + <br> + To find more: <<a + href="http://www.google.com/search?q=linux+command+line+shell+tutorial">http://www.google.com/search?q=linux+command+line+shell+tutorial</a>></p> + <p><br> + <span style="font-weight: bold;">Note</span> that since OS X is + based on UNIX, there is much in common between the OS X and Linux + command line environments, and many of the UNIX tutorials may be + useful:<br> + </p> + <p> <<a + href="http://www.rain.org/%7Emkummel/unix.html">http://www.rain.org/~mkummel/unix.html</a>><br> + <br> + </p> + <h2><u><a href="Scenarios.html">Tutorial: Typical usage scenarios + and examples</a></u></h2> + A <a href="Scenarios.html">guided tour</a> of the major tools, + applied to typical CMS jobs, such as calibrating displays, creating + device profiles, calibrating printers, linking profiles, and + converting color spaces of raster files. <br> + <br> + Although it is is a couple of years old now, this <a + href="http://www.argyllcms.com/doc/FCMS2010_ArgyllTute.pdf">tutorial</a> + may also be of interest.<br> + <br> + <h3 style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><u><a name="Topics"></a>Topical + Discussions</u></h3> + Discussions about particular topics:<br> + <br> + <a href="FWA.html">About Fluorescent Whitening Agent compensation</a><br> + <br> + <a href="instruments.html">Operation of particular instruments</a><br> + <br> + <a href="iccgamutmapping.html">About ICC profiles and Gamut Mapping</a><br> + <br> + <a href="monitorcontrols.html">About display monitor settings and + targets</a><br> + <br> + <a href="gamma.html">About display "Gamma"</a><br> + <br> + <a href="calvschar.html">What's the difference between Calibration + and Characterization ?</a><br> + <br> + <a href="WideGamutColmters.html">Why doesn't my Colorimeter work + well on my Wide Gamut display ?</a><br> + <span style="font-family: monospace;"></span><br> + <a href="CrushedDisplyBlacks.html">My blacks get crushed on my + display - why ?
