# refine(1)

Create abstract correction profile given table of absolute CIE correction values.

## NAME

Create - Create abstract correction profile given table of absolute CIE correction values.

## DESCRIPTION

Create abstract correction profile given table of absolute CIE correction values, Version 1.6.3

## SYNOPSIS

**refine** \[-options\] cietarget ciecurrent \[outdevicc\] \[inabs\] outabs

- **-v**

  Verbose

- **-c**

  Create initial abstract correction profile

- **-g**

  Don't impose output device gamut limit

- **-r** res

  Set abstract profile clut resolution (default 33)

- **-d** factor

  Override default damping factor (default 0.950000, then 0.700000)

- **-R**

  Aim for white point relative match rather than absolute

- **-f** \[illum\]

  Use Fluorescent Whitening Agent compensation \[opt. simulated inst. illum.:

-

  M0, M1, M2, A, C, D50 (def.), D50M2, D65, F5, F8, F10 or file.sp\]

- **-i** illum

  Choose illuminant for computation of CIE XYZ from spectral data & FWA:

-

  A, C, D50 (def.), D50M2, D65, F5, F8, F10 or file.sp

- **-o** observ

  Choose CIE Observer for spectral data:

-

  1931\_2 (def), 1964\_10, S&B 1955\_2, shaw, J&V 1978\_2

- cietarget

  Target CIE or spectral values, CGATS file (e.g. .ti3)

- ciecurrent

  Actual CIE or spectral values, CGATS file (e.g. .ti3)

- \[outdevicc\]

  Output device ICC profile to set gamut limit (not used if **-g**)

- \[inabs\]

  Previous abstract correction ICC profile (not used if **-c**)

- outabs

  Created/refined abstract correction ICC profile
