NAME

kcms_photocd − corrects PhotoCD or tiff images through KCMS color correction

SYNOPSIS

kcms_photocd [ −o ][ −n ] in_profile out_profile in_image out_tif

AVAILABILITY

SUNWkcspg

DESCRIPTION

kcms_photocd requires the names of the input (scanner or PhotoCD) profile, the output (monitor usually) profile, the input image file, and an output Tiff file name.  It takes the in_image file and color corrects the image using the combination of in_profile and out_profile. The in_image may be a PhotoCD mount point path name (the program will prompt for the image number) or a Tiff file. 

It is assumed that the input image has been scanned using the scanner described by the input profile or it is a PhotoCD disk inserted in a cdrom device.  The output profile should describe the device on which the image is to be displayed (or printed).  Supply the path name to the input image Tiff file and a name for the color-corrected output image to be stored in.  Use imagetool(1) or some other display program to view the Tiff image on screen, or convert and send the image to a color printer using an appropriate tool. 

OPTIONS

-o optimizes the combination of in_profile and out_profile before color correcting the image data. 

-n allows a Tiff file to be created (presumably from a phototcd image) which does not have KCMS color correction applied.  One may wish to use this option to create comparison output Tiff images, with and without correction. 

in_profile is the full path name of an input profile (required if -n not set)

out_profile is the full path name of an input profile (reqired if -n not set)

in_image is the full path name of an input PhotoCD or Tiff image (required)

out_tif is the file name in which to store the output Tiff image (required)

EXAMPLES

Example 1:

example% kcms_photocd kcmsEKhpsjtw04.inp kcmsEKsony1604.mon
wales.tif testimage.tif

Use a HP ScanJet IIc scanner input profile, a Sun Sony 19inch display output profile, a sample Tiff input image, and provide a testimage file name to store the resulting image in. 
 
Example 2:

example% kcms_photocd -o kcmsEKpcdcn04.inp kcmsEKsony1604.mon
/cdrom/cdrom0 testimage.tif

Request optimization be performed on the profiles and apply to a PhotoCD image (path name is a typical PhotoCD path name of the mount point, yours may be different).  The input profile is a generic PhotoCD profile.  The program will scan the PhotoCD images and prompt for an image number to be input. 

ENVIRONMENT

KCMS_PROFILES is a colon separated list of directories containing profiles. The KCMS library will search this list of directories if the environment variable exists.
