<h1> ArgyllCMS documentation index (V3.5.0)<br>
</h1>
Date:&nbsp;&nbsp; 4th February 2026<br>
Author: Graeme Gill
<h2><u><a name="Intro"></a>Introduction</u></h2>
ArgyllCMS is an ICC compatible color management system, available as Open
Source. It supports accurate ICC profile creation for scanners, cameras and
film recorders, and calibration and profiling of displays and RGB, CMY &amp;
CMYK printers. Device Link can be created with a wide variety of advanced
options, including specialized Video calibration standards&nbsp; and 3dLuts.
Spectral sample data is supported, allowing a selection of illuminants
observer types, and paper fluorescent whitener additive compensation.
Profiles can also incorporate source specific gamut mappings for perceptual
and saturation intents. Gamut mapping and profile linking uses the CIECAM02
appearance model, a unique gamut mapping algorithm, and a wide selection of
rendering intents. It also includes code for the fastest portable 8 bit
raster color conversion engine available anywhere, as well as support for
fast, fully accurate 16 bit conversion. Device color gamuts can also be
viewed and compared with a modern Web browser using X3DOM . Comprehensive
documentation is provided for each major tool, and a general guide to using
the tools for typical color management tasks is also available. A mailing
list provides support for more advanced usage.<br>
<p>This is Version 3.5.0, a bug fix update to the release V3.4.1. The first
public release of icclib was in November 1998, and of ArgyllCMS was in
October 2000. Code development commenced in 1995. See <a href="ChangesSummary.html">Changes
Summary</a> for an overview of changes since the last release. Changes
between revisions is detailed in the <b>log.txt</b> file that accompanies
the source code. </p>
<p>The latest source code is available from <a href="http://www.argyllcms.com/#Downloads">here</a>.<br>

<p><font color="#cc0000"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Please note that
instruments are being driven by ArgyllCMS drivers, and that any
problems or queries regarding instrument<br>
operation </span><span style="font-weight: bold;">should first be

<h2><a href="ColorManagement.html">An Introduction to Color Management</a></h2>
<p>A great introduction for non technical people is Steve Upton's <a href="http://www.colorwiki.com/wiki/The_Color_of_Toast">The
Color of Toast</a>.<br>
</p>
I present here a more technical but <a href="ColorManagement.html">concise
discussion</a> of what color management is, and why we need it, together
with a brief overview of the ICC profile format.<br>
<br>
<h2 style="text-decoration: underline;">Operating Environments</h2>

<h2><span style="text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(51, 0, 51);"><a name="ProjType"></a>What
sort of project is this ? (re: contributions)<br>
</span></h2>
This is essentially my private project, that I've made available under
AGPL3, GNU licensing conditions. Because I license my code under other
licenses as well, there is a limit to what I will accept in the way of code
contributions back into this project. For me to accept contributions into
the distribution, it either has to a non-core (side) project, or has to be
offered to me with copyright conditions that are compatible with my other
uses (i.e.. a "BSD" or "MIT"&nbsp; like permissive free software license, or
assigning or licensing the copyright to me), or has to be so trivial (say a
one line bug fix), that it can't be the subject of copyright. <br>
<br>
Of course there is nothing to stop someone setting up a real free software,
community project based on the GNU licensed code made available here, that
would be able to take GNU licensed contributions from everyone and would
essentially be a "fork" of this code base.<br>

<h2 style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);"><u><a name="CmdLine"></a>Main Tools and
the command line<br>
</u></h2>
These are all command line ("DOS" shell) tools, and each tool require
appropriate options to be set, followed by filename arguments. Sometimes the
filenames will have to include the usual extensions, sometimes they are
implicit. To get a brief listing of the possible arguments and <span style="font-weight: bold;">usage</span>
of any of the tools, run it with just an "-?" argument, i.e. <b>targen -? </b>(or
some other unrecognized flag, if the "?" character is treated specially in
your shell, i.e. try "--" on OS X zsh).<br>
<br>
Note that in general the arguments consist of possible flags or options
followed by file path+name arguments. All arguments need to be separated by
whitespace.&nbsp; (If you need to specify a string with embedded white
space, double quote the string). A flag consists of a dash attached to a
single letter, the letter identifying the flag, and is usually case
sensitive. An option is a flag that has an associated parameter or
parameters. The parameter can be separated from the flag by white space, or
may come directly after the flag. So if a tool has a usage that looks like
this:<br>
<br>
&nbsp; tool -?<br>
&nbsp; usage: tool [options] infile outfile<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;
-v&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Verbose mode<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; -d
n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Choose a depth 0-4<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; -r
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Use a random depth<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; -f
[nn]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Use
full range. nn optional range 0 - 100.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; -M
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Manual<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; infile
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Input file<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; outfile
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Output
file<br>
<br>
then there are&nbsp; 5 flags/options, and two filename arguments. Notice
that square braces [] denote optional items. The first flag/option is a
flag. The second is an option that has a numerical argument in the range 0
to 4. The third is a flag. the fourth is an option with an optional
argument. The fourth is a flag.&nbsp; The flags and options can generally be
in any order, but must be before the file name arguments. (For a few special
tools you actually specify a sequence of flags and files where the flags
apply just to the following file.) So example invocations may look like:<br>
<br>
&nbsp; tool -v testin.xxx testout.yyy<br>
&nbsp; tool -d3 -M testin1.yyy testout2.xxx<br>
&nbsp; tool -f infile.zzz outfile<br>
&nbsp; tool -f 45 basename<br>
&nbsp; tool -d 3 -f67 infile.xy outfile.ab<br>
<p>In order to make use of the tools, it is necessary to keep track of where
various files are, and what they are called. There are many possible ways
of doing this. One way is to put each source profile and all its
associated files (test charts, spectrometer values etc.) in one set of
directories for each source profile type. Similarly the device profiles
could be stored in a hierarchy of directories ordered by device type,
media, resolution, device mode etc. Naturally you will want to set your
$PATH so that you can run the tools from whichever directory you are in,
as well as specify any necessary directory paths for file arguments so
that the tools are able to open them.<br>
</p>
<p>Note that there are two ways the Argyll tools deal with filename
extensions. In one you supply the extension (ie. you supply the whole file
name), so the extension is up to you. In the other (used where one name is
used for input and output files, or where there are multiple output
files), the program adds the extension. In the documentation this should
be indicated by calling it a "base name".<br>
