NAME

6       linkicc - little cms device link generator.
7

SYNOPSIS

9       linkicc [options] profiles
10

DESCRIPTION

12       lcms is a standalone CMM engine, which deals with the color management.
13       It implements a fast transformation between ICC profiles.  linkicc is a
14       little cms device link generator.
15
16       Links  two  or  more  profiles  into a single devicelink profile.  Col‐
17       orspaces must be paired except Lab/XYZ, that can be interchanged.
18

OPTIONS

EXAMPLES

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