NAME
     linkicc - little cms device link generator.

SYNOPSIS
     linkicc [options] profiles

DESCRIPTION
     lcms is a standalone CMM engine, which deals with the color management.  It
     implements a fast transformation between ICC profiles.  linkicc is a little
     cms device link generator.

     Links  two  or more profiles into a single devicelink profile.  Colorspaces
     must be paired except Lab/XYZ, that can be interchanged.

OPTIONS
     -a NUM
	    Observer adaptation state (abs.col.  only),  (0..1.0,  float  value)
	    [defaults to 1.0].

     -b     Black point compensation.

     -c precision
	    Precision (0=LowRes, 1=Normal, 2=Hi-res) [defaults to 1].

     -d description
	    Description text (quotes can be used).

     -h NUM
	    Show  summary  of options and examples (0=help, 1=Built-in profiles,
	    2=Examples, 3=Contact information)

     -k inklimit
	    Ink-limiting in % (CMYK  only),  (0..400.0,  float	value)	[default
	    400.0].

     -l     Use linearization curves (may affect accuracy).

     -n gridpoints
	    Alternate way to set precision, number of CLUT points.

     -o profile
	    Output devicelink profile [defaults to 'devicelink.icm'].

     -r profileversion
	    Profile  version.  (CAUTION: may change the profile implementation),
	    (2.0..4.3, float value) [defaults to 4.3].

     -t NUM
	    Rendering intent
	    0=Perceptual [default]
	    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

     -v verbosity
	    Verbosity level, (0=None, 1=Normal, 2=High, 3=Very	High)  [defaults
	    to 0].

     -x     Creatively, guess deviceclass of resulting profile.

     -y copyright
	    Copyright notice (quotes can be used) ["No copyright, use freely"].

     -8     Creates 8-bit devicelink.

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

EXAMPLES
     To create 'devicelink.icm' from a.icc to b.icc:
	  linkicc a.icc b.icc

     To create 'out.icc' from sRGB to cmyk.icc:
	  linkicc -o out.icc *sRGB cmyk.icc

     To create a sRGB input profile working in Lab:
	  linkicc -x -o sRGBLab.icc *sRGB *Lab

     To create a XYZ -> sRGB output profile:
	  linkicc -x -o sRGBLab.icc *XYZ *sRGB

     To create a abstract profile doing softproof for cmyk.icc:
	  linkicc -t1 -x -o softproof.icc *Lab cmyk.icc cmyk.icc *Lab

     To create a 'grayer' sRGB input profile:
	  linkicc -x -o grayer.icc *sRGB gray.icc gray.icc *Lab

     To embed ink limiting into a cmyk output profile:
	  linkicc -x -o cmyklimited.icc -k 250 cmyk.icc *Lab
