.TH LINKICC 1 "September 30, 2004"
.SH NAME
linkicc - little cms device link generator.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B linkicc
.RI [ options ] " profiles"
.SH DESCRIPTION
lcms is a standalone CMM engine, which deals with the color management.
It implements a fast transformation between ICC profiles.
.B linkicc
is a little cms device link generator.
.P
Links two or more profiles into a single devicelink profile.
Colorspaces must be paired except Lab/XYZ, that can be interchanged.

.SH EXAMPLES
.nf
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
