- **-a**

  Handle channels \> 4 as alpha.

- **-b**

  Black point compensation.

- **-c \<0,1,2,3\>**

  Precalculates transform. (0=Off, 1=Normal, 2=Hi-res, 3=LoRes) \[defaults to 1\]

- **-e**

  Embed destination profile.

- **-g**

  Marks out-of-gamut colors on softproof.

- **-h \<0,1,2\>**

  Show summary of options and examples.

- **-i** *profile*

  Input profile (defaults to sRGB).

- **-k \<0..400\>**

  Ink-limiting in % (CMYK only).

- **-l**

  Transform by device-link profile.

- **-m \<0,1,2,3\>**

  SoftProof intent.

- **-n**

  Ignore embedded profile on input.

- **-p** *profile*

  Soft proof profile.

- **-o** *profile*

  - Output profile (defaults to sRGB).

  - **-q \<0..100\>**

  Output JPEG quality.

- **-t \<0,1,2,3\>**

  Intent (0=Perceptual, 1=Colorimetric, 2=Saturation, 3=Absolute).

- **-v**

  Verbose.

- **-w**

  Wide output (generates 16 bps tiff).

- You can also use '\*Lab' and '\*XYZ' as predefined, built-in profiles for CIE L\*a\*b\* and XYZ color spaces.

  ## EXAMPLES

```
To color correct from scanner to sRGB:
	tifficc -iscanner.icm in.tif out.tif
To convert from monitor1 to monitor2:
	tifficc -imon1.icm -omon2.icm in.tif out.tif
To make a CMYK separation:
	tifficc -oprinter.icm inrgb.tif outcmyk.tif
To recover sRGB from a CMYK separation:
	tifficc -iprinter.icm incmyk.tif outrgb.tif
To convert from CIELab TIFF to sRGB
	tifficc -iTiffLab8Spac.icm in.tif out.tif
```
