tificc [options] input.tif output.tif

lcms is a standalone CMM engine, which deals with the color management. It implements a fast transformation between ICC profiles. tificc is a little cms ICC profile applier for TIFF.

-a

Handle channels > 4 as alpha.

-b

Black point compensation.

-cNUM

Precalculates transform (0=Off, 1=Normal, 2=Hi-res, 3=LoRes) [defaults to 1].

-dNUM

Observer adaptation state (abs.col. only), (0..1.0, float value) [defaults to 0.0].

-e

Embed destination profile.

-g

Marks out-of-gamut colors on softproof.

-hNUM

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

-iprofile

Input profile (defaults to sRGB).

-kinklimit

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

-lprofile

Transform by device-link profile.

-m TODO: check if values outside 0..3 are possible

SoftProof intent [defaults to 0].

-n

Ignore embedded profile on input.

-oprofile

Output profile (defaults to sRGB).

-pprofile

Soft proof profile.

-snewprofile

Save embedded profile as newprofile.

-tNUM

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

Verbose.

-wNUM

Output depth (8, 16 or 32). Use 32 for floating-point.

	*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

To color correct from scanner to sRGB:
	tificc -iscanner.icm in.tif out.tif
To convert from monitor1 to monitor2:
	tificc -imon1.icm -omon2.icm in.tif out.tif
To make a CMYK separation:
	tificc -oprinter.icm inrgb.tif outcmyk.tif
To recover sRGB from a CMYK separation:
	tificc -iprinter.icm incmyk.tif outrgb.tif
To convert from CIELab TIFF to sRGB
	tificc -i*Lab in.tif out.tif
