NAME
     ART - An advanced, cross-platform program for developing raw photos.

DESCRIPTION
     ART  is  an  advanced  program for developing raw photos and for processing
     non-raw photos. It is non-destructive, makes use of  OpenMP,  supports  all
     the  cameras  supported by dcraw and more, and carries out its calculations
     in a high precision 32-bit floating point engine.

SYMBOLS
       <Chevrons> indicate parameters you can change.
       [Square brackets] mean the parameter is optional.
       The pipe symbol | indicates a choice of one or the other.
       The dash symbol - denotes a range of possible values.

SYNOPSIS
       ART GUI
       ART <folder>	      Start File Browser inside folder.
       ART <file>	      Start Image Editor with file.

       ART CLI
       ART-cli -c <dir>|<files>   Convert files in batch using	default  parame-
     ters.
       ART-cli	<other	options>  -c <dir>|<files>  Convert files in batch using
     your own settings.
       ART-cli [-o <output>|-O <output>] [-q] [-a]  [-s|-S]  [-p  <one.arp>  [-p
     <two.arp>	...] ] [-d] [ -j[1-100] [-js<1-3>] | [-b<8|16>] [-t[z] | [-n]] ]
     [-Y] -c <input>

OPTIONS
       -c <files>	Specify one or more input files.
			-c must be the last option.
       -o <file>|<dir>	Set output file or folder.
			Saves output file alongside input  file  if  -o  is  not
     specified.
       -O <file>|<dir>	Set output file or folder and copy arp file into it.
			Saves  output  file  alongside	input  file if -O is not
     specified.
       -q		Quick-start mode. Does not load cached files to  speedup
     start time.
       -a		Process all supported image file types when specifying a
     folder, even those
			not  currently	selected in Preferences > File Browser >
     Parsed Extensions.
       -s		Use the existing sidecar file to  build  the  processing
     parameters,
			e.g.  for photo.raw there should be a photo.raw.arp file
     in the same folder.
			If the sidecar file does not exist, neutral values  will
     be used.
       -S		Like -s but skip if the sidecar file does not exist.
       -p  <file.arp>	  Specify  processing profile to be used for all conver-
     sions.
			You can specify as many sets of "-p <file.arp>"  options
     as you like,
			each  will  be	built on top of the previous one, as ex-
     plained below.
       -d		Use the default raw or non-raw processing profile as set
     in
			Preferences > Image Processing > Default Processing Pro-
     file
       -j[1-100]	Specify output to be JPEG (default, if -t and -n are not
     set).
			Optionally, specify compression  1-100	(default  value:
     92).
       -js<1-3> 	Specify the JPEG chroma subsampling parameter, where:
			1 = Best compression:	2x2, 1x1, 1x1 (4:2:0)
			    Chroma halved vertically and horizontally.
			2 = Balanced (default): 2x1, 1x1, 1x1 (4:2:2)
			    Chroma halved horizontally.
			3 = Best quality:	1x1, 1x1, 1x1 (4:4:4)
			    No chroma subsampling.
       -b<8|16> 	 Specify  bit  depth  per channel (default value: 16 for
     TIFF, 8 for PNG).
			Only applies to TIFF and PNG output, JPEG is always 8.
       -t[z]		Specify output to be TIFF.
			Uncompressed by default,  or  deflate  compression  with
     'z'.
       -n		Specify output to be compressed PNG.
			Compression is hard-coded to 6.
       -Y		Overwrite output if present.

     Your  arp	files can be incomplete, ART will build the final values as fol-
     lows:
       1- A new processing profile is created using neutral values,
       2- If the "-d" option is set, the values are overridden by those found in
	  the default raw or non-raw processing profile.
       3- If one or more "-p" options are set,	the  values  are  overridden  by
     those
	  found in these processing profiles.
       4- If the "-s" or "-S" options are set, the values are finally overridden
     by those
	  found in the sidecar files.
       The  processing profiles are processed in the order specified on the com-
     mand line.
