xicc/fakeCMY

Summary

Using a CMYK ICC profile, create a .ti3 file containing device CMY to colorimetric values. This can then be used to create a CMY profile, that can be linked with the original CMYK profile to form a CMY to CMYK separation transform.

Usage

fakeCMY [optionscmykprofile.icm fakecmy.ti3
 -v                               Verbose mode
 -r res                           Set the resolution of the resulting .ti3 file (default 3).

Comments

This utility is a means of producing a CMY to CMYK separation. A fake CMY profile is created from the output of fakeCMY, and this is then linked to the original CMYK profile using icclink, to create a separation containing the desired black generation.
