dcod2lum(1)


NAME

   dcod2lum  -  Convert  hardcopy  characteristic  curve  file to softcopy
   format

SYNOPSIS

   dcod2lum in-file out-file

DESCRIPTION

   Command line program that converts a hardcopy characteristic curve file
   to  softcopy  format. In other words, the measured optical density (OD)
   values from the input file  are  transformed  to  the  luminance  space
   according to the formula:

     L = La + L0 * 10^(-D)

   where  L  is the resulting luminance, La is the reflected ambient light
   and L0 the illumination (both measured  in  cd/m^2),  'D'  the  optical
   density (OD). Please note that if no illumination value is specified in
   the input file (keyword lum) all optical density values are mapped to a
   constant luminance.

PARAMETERS

   in-file   hardcopy characteristic curve file to be converted

   out-file  softcopy characteristic curve file to be written

NOTES

   The format of both input and output file is described the documentation
   of the dcmdspfn  command  line  tool.  In  addition,  the  data  folder
   contains  sample  characteristics  file monitors, cameras, printers and
   scanners.

FILES

   <datadir>/camera.lut - sample characteristics file of a camera
   <datadir>/monitor.lut - sample characteristics file of a monitor
   <datadir>/printer.lut - sample characteristics file of a printer
   <datadir>/scanner.lut - sample characteristics file of a scanner
