NAME
     dcod2lum - Convert hardcopy characteristic curve file to softcopy format

SYNOPSIS
     dcod2lum in-file out-file

DESCRIPTION
     Command  line program that converts a hardcopy characteristic curve file to
     softcopy format. In other words, the measured optical density  (OD)  values
     from the input file are transformed to the luminance space according to the
     formula:

       L = La + L0 * 10^(-D)

     where  L  is the resulting luminance, La is the reflected ambient light and
     L0 the illumination (both measured in  cd/m^2),  'D'  the	optical  density
     (OD).  Please  note that if no illumination value is specified in the input
     file (keyword lum) all optical density values are mapped to a constant  lu-
     minance.

PARAMETERS
     in-file   hardcopy characteristic curve file to be converted

     out-file  softcopy characteristic curve file to be written

NOTES
     The  format of both input and output file is described the documentation of
     the dcmdspfn command line tool. In addition, the data folder contains  sam-
     ple characteristics file monitors, cameras, printers and scanners.

FILES
     <datadir>/camera.lut - sample characteristics file of a camera
     <datadir>/monitor.lut - sample characteristics file of a monitor
     <datadir>/printer.lut - sample characteristics file of a printer
     <datadir>/scanner.lut - sample characteristics file of a scanner
