LittleCMS ColorSpace conversion calculator - 5.1 [LittleCMS 2.20]
Copyright (c) 1998-2026 Marti Maria Saguer. See COPYING file for details.
usage: transicc [flags] [CGATS input] [CGATS output]

flags:

-v<0..3> - Verbosity level
-e[op] - Encoded representation of numbers
	-w - use 16 bits
	-x - Hexadecimal

-s - bounded mode (clip negatives and highlights)
-q - Quantize (round decimals)

-i<profile> - Input profile (defaults to sRGB)
-o<profile> - Output profile (defaults to sRGB)
-l<profile> - Transform by device-link profile

Built-in profiles:

	*Lab2  -- D50-based v2 CIEL*a*b
	*Lab4  -- D50-based v4 CIEL*a*b
	*Lab   -- D50-based v4 CIEL*a*b
	*XYZ   -- CIE XYZ (PCS)
	*sRGB  -- sRGB color space
	*Gray22 - Monochrome of Gamma 2.2
	*Gray30 - Monochrome of Gamma 3.0
	*null   - Monochrome black for all input
	*Lin2222- CMYK linearization of gamma 2.2 on each channel

-t<n> rendering intent:

	0 - Perceptual
	1 - Relative colorimetric
	2 - Saturation
	3 - Absolute colorimetric
	10 - Perceptual preserving black ink
	11 - Relative colorimetric preserving black ink
	12 - Saturation preserving black ink
	13 - Perceptual preserving black plane
	14 - Relative colorimetric preserving black plane
	15 - Saturation preserving black plane


-d<0..1> - Observer adaptation state (abs.col. only)

-b - Black point compensation
-c<0,1,2,3> Precalculates transform (0=Off, 1=Normal, 2=Hi-res, 3=LoRes)

-n - Terse output, intended for pipe usage
-p<profile> - Soft proof profile
-m<0,1,2,3> - Soft proof intent
-g - Marks out-of-gamut colors on softproof

This program is intended to be a demo of the Little CMS
