Functions#

PIL.ImageCms.applyTransform(im, transform, inPlace=False)[source]#

(pyCMS) Applies a transform to a given image.

If im.mode != transform.inMode, a PyCMSError is raised.

If inPlace is True and transform.inMode != transform.outMode, a PyCMSError is raised.

If im.mode, transform.inMode or transform.outMode is not supported by pyCMSdll or the profiles you used for the transform, a PyCMSError is raised.

If an error occurs while the transform is being applied, a PyCMSError is raised.

This function applies a pre-calculated transform (from ImageCms.buildTransform() or ImageCms.buildTransformFromOpenProfiles()) to an image. The transform can be used for multiple images, saving considerable calculation time if doing the same conversion multiple times.

If you want to modify im in-place instead of receiving a new image as the return value, set inPlace to True. This can only be done if transform.inMode and transform.outMode are the same, because we can’t change the mode in-place (the buffer sizes for some modes are different). The default behavior is to return a new Image object of the same dimensions in mode transform.outMode.

Parameters:
  • im – An Image object, and im.mode must be the same as the inMode supported by the transform.

  • transform – A valid CmsTransform class object

  • inPlace – Bool. If True, im is modified in place and None is returned, if False, a new Image object with the transform applied is returned (and im is not changed). The default is False.

Returns:

Either None, or a new Image object, depending on the value of inPlace. The profile will be returned in the image’s info['icc_profile'].

Raises:

PyCMSError

PIL.ImageCms.buildProofTransform(inputProfile, outputProfile, proofProfile, inMode, outMode, renderingIntent=Intent.PERCEPTUAL, proofRenderingIntent=Intent.ABSOLUTE_COLORIMETRIC, flags=Flags.SOFTPROOFING)[source]#

(pyCMS) Builds an ICC transform mapping from the inputProfile to the outputProfile, but tries to simulate the result that would be obtained on the proofProfile device.

If the input, output, or proof profiles specified are not valid filenames, a PyCMSError will be raised.

If an error occurs during creation of the transform, a PyCMSError will be raised.

If inMode or outMode are not a mode supported by the outputProfile (or by pyCMS), a PyCMSError will be raised.

This function builds and returns an ICC transform from the inputProfile to the outputProfile, but tries to simulate the result that would be obtained on the proofProfile device using renderingIntent and proofRenderingIntent to determine what to do with out-of-gamut colors. This is known as “soft-proofing”. It will ONLY work for converting images that are in inMode to images that are in outMode color format (PIL mode, i.e. “RGB”, “RGBA”, “CMYK”, etc.).

Usage of the resulting transform object is exactly the same as with ImageCms.buildTransform().

Proof profiling is generally used when using an output device to get a good idea of what the final printed/displayed image would look like on the proofProfile device when it’s quicker and easier to use the output device for judging color. Generally, this means that the output device is a monitor, or a dye-sub printer (etc.), and the simulated device is something more expensive, complicated, or time consuming (making it difficult to make a real print for color judgement purposes).

Soft-proofing basically functions by adjusting the colors on the output device to match the colors of the device being simulated. However, when the simulated device has a much wider gamut than the output device, you may obtain marginal results.

Parameters:
  • inputProfile – String, as a valid filename path to the ICC input profile you wish to use for this transform, or a profile object

  • outputProfile – String, as a valid filename path to the ICC output (monitor, usually) profile you wish to use for this transform, or a profile object

  • proofProfile – String, as a valid filename path to the ICC proof profile you wish to use for this transform, or a profile object

  • inMode – String, as a valid PIL mode that the appropriate profile also supports (i.e. “RGB”, “RGBA”, “CMYK”, etc.)

  • outMode – String, as a valid PIL mode that the appropriate profile also supports (i.e. “RGB”, “RGBA”, “CMYK”, etc.)

  • renderingIntent

    Integer (0-3) specifying the rendering intent you wish to use for the input->proof (simulated) transform

    ImageCms.Intent.PERCEPTUAL = 0 (DEFAULT) ImageCms.Intent.RELATIVE_COLORIMETRIC = 1 ImageCms.Intent.SATURATION = 2 ImageCms.Intent.ABSOLUTE_COLORIMETRIC = 3

    see the pyCMS documentation for details on rendering intents and what they do.

    Integer (0-3) specifying the rendering intent you wish to use for proof->output transform

    ImageCms.Intent.PERCEPTUAL = 0 (DEFAULT) ImageCms.Intent.RELATIVE_COLORIMETRIC = 1 ImageCms.Intent.SATURATION = 2 ImageCms.Intent.ABSOLUTE_COLORIMETRIC = 3

    see the pyCMS documentation for details on rendering intents and what they do.

  • flags – Integer (0-…) specifying additional flags

Returns:

A CmsTransform class object.

Raises:

PyCMSError

PIL.ImageCms.buildTransform(inputProfile, outputProfile, inMode, outMode, renderingIntent=Intent.PERCEPTUAL, flags=Flags.NONE)[source]#

(pyCMS) Builds an ICC transform mapping from the inputProfile to the outputProfile. Use applyTransform to apply the transform to a given image.

If the input or output profiles specified are not valid filenames, a PyCMSError will be raised. If an error occurs during creation of the transform, a PyCMSError will be raised.

If inMode or outMode are not a mode supported by the outputProfile (or by pyCMS), a PyCMSError will be raised.

This function builds and returns an ICC transform from the inputProfile to the outputProfile using the renderingIntent to determine what to do with out-of-gamut colors. It will ONLY work for converting images that are in inMode to images that are in outMode color format (PIL mode, i.e. “RGB”, “RGBA”, “CMYK”, etc.).

Building the transform is a fair part of the overhead in ImageCms.profileToProfile(), so if you’re planning on converting multiple images using the same input/output settings, this can save you time. Once you have a transform object, it can be used with ImageCms.applyProfile() to convert images without the need to re-compute the lookup table for the transform.

The reason pyCMS returns a class object rather than a handle directly to the transform is that it needs to keep track of the PIL input/output modes that the transform is meant for. These attributes are stored in the inMode and outMode attributes of the object (which can be manually overridden if you really want to, but I don’t know of any time that would be of use, or would even work).

Parameters:
  • inputProfile – String, as a valid filename path to the ICC input profile you wish to use for this transform, or a profile object

  • outputProfile – String, as a valid filename path to the ICC output profile you wish to use for this transform, or a profile object

  • inMode – String, as a valid PIL mode that the appropriate profile also supports (i.e. “RGB”, “RGBA”, “CMYK”, etc.)

  • outMode – String, as a valid PIL mode that the appropriate profile also supports (i.e. “RGB”, “RGBA”, “CMYK”, etc.)

  • renderingIntent

    Integer (0-3) specifying the rendering intent you wish to use for the transform

    ImageCms.Intent.PERCEPTUAL = 0 (DEFAULT) ImageCms.Intent.RELATIVE_COLORIMETRIC = 1 ImageCms.Intent.SATURATION = 2 ImageCms.Intent.ABSOLUTE_COLORIMETRIC = 3

    see the pyCMS documentation for details on rendering intents and what they do.

  • flags – Integer (0-…) specifying additional flags

Returns:

PIL.ImageCms.createProfile(colorSpace, colorTemp=-1)[source]#

(pyCMS) Creates a profile.

If colorSpace not in ["LAB", "XYZ", "sRGB"], a PyCMSError is raised.

If using LAB and colorTemp is not a positive integer, a PyCMSError is raised.

If an error occurs while creating the profile, a PyCMSError is raised.

Use this function to create common profiles on-the-fly instead of having to supply a profile on disk and knowing the path to it. It returns a normal CmsProfile object that can be passed to ImageCms.buildTransformFromOpenProfiles() to create a transform to apply to images.

Parameters:
  • colorSpace – String, the color space of the profile you wish to create. Currently only “LAB”, “XYZ”, and “sRGB” are supported.

  • colorTemp – Positive integer for the white point for the profile, in degrees Kelvin (i.e. 5000, 6500, 9600, etc.). The default is for D50 illuminant if omitted (5000k). colorTemp is ONLY applied to LAB profiles, and is ignored for XYZ and sRGB.

Returns:

A CmsProfile class object

Raises:

PyCMSError

PIL.ImageCms.getDefaultIntent(profile)[source]#

(pyCMS) Gets the default intent name for the given profile.

If profile isn’t a valid CmsProfile object or filename to a profile, a PyCMSError is raised.

If an error occurs while trying to obtain the default intent, a PyCMSError is raised.

Use this function to determine the default (and usually best optimized) rendering intent for this profile. Most profiles support multiple rendering intents, but are intended mostly for one type of conversion. If you wish to use a different intent than returned, use ImageCms.isIntentSupported() to verify it will work first.

Parameters:

profile – EITHER a valid CmsProfile object, OR a string of the filename of an ICC profile.

Returns:

Integer 0-3 specifying the default rendering intent for this profile.

Use this function to verify that you can use your desired intent with profile, and that profile can be used for the input/output/proof profile as you desire.

Some profiles are created specifically for one “direction”, can cannot be used for others. Some profiles can only be used for certain rendering intents, so it’s best to either verify this before trying to create a transform with them (using this function), or catch the potential PyCMSError that will occur if they don’t support the modes you select.

Parameters:
  • profile – EITHER a valid CmsProfile object, OR a string of the filename of an ICC profile.

  • intent

    Integer (0-3) specifying the rendering intent you wish to use with this profile

    ImageCms.Intent.PERCEPTUAL = 0 (DEFAULT) ImageCms.Intent.RELATIVE_COLORIMETRIC = 1 ImageCms.Intent.SATURATION = 2 ImageCms.Intent.ABSOLUTE_COLORIMETRIC = 3

    see the pyCMS documentation for details on rendering intents and what

    they do.

  • direction

    INPUT = 0 (or use ImageCms.Direction.INPUT) OUTPUT = 1 (or use ImageCms.Direction.OUTPUT) PROOF = 2 (or use ImageCms.Direction.PROOF)

Returns:

1 if the intent/direction are supported, -1 if they are not.

Raises:

PyCMSError

PIL.ImageCms.profileToProfile(im, inputProfile, outputProfile, renderingIntent=Intent.PERCEPTUAL, outputMode=None, inPlace=False, flags=Flags.NONE)[source]#

(pyCMS) Applies an ICC transformation to a given image, mapping from inputProfile to outputProfile.

If the input or output profiles specified are not valid filenames, a PyCMSError will be raised. If inPlace is True and outputMode != im.mode, a PyCMSError will be raised. If an error occurs during application of the profiles, a PyCMSError will be raised. If outputMode is not a mode supported by the outputProfile (or by pyCMS), a PyCMSError will be raised.

This function applies an ICC transformation to im from inputProfile’s color space to outputProfile’s color space using the specified rendering intent to decide how to handle out-of-gamut colors.

outputMode can be used to specify that a color mode conversion is to be done using these profiles, but the specified profiles must be able to handle that mode. I.e., if converting im from RGB to CMYK using profiles, the input profile must handle RGB data, and the output profile must handle CMYK data.

Parameters:
  • im – An open Image object (i.e. Image.new(…) or Image.open(…), etc.)

  • inputProfile – String, as a valid filename path to the ICC input profile you wish to use for this image, or a profile object

  • outputProfile – String, as a valid filename path to the ICC output profile you wish to use for this image, or a profile object

  • renderingIntent

    Integer (0-3) specifying the rendering intent you wish to use for the transform

    ImageCms.Intent.PERCEPTUAL = 0 (DEFAULT) ImageCms.Intent.RELATIVE_COLORIMETRIC = 1 ImageCms.Intent.SATURATION = 2 ImageCms.Intent.ABSOLUTE_COLORIMETRIC = 3

    see the pyCMS documentation for details on rendering intents and what they do.

  • outputMode – A valid PIL mode for the output image (i.e. “RGB”, “CMYK”, etc.). Note: if rendering the image “inPlace”, outputMode MUST be the same mode as the input, or omitted completely. If omitted, the outputMode will be the same as the mode of the input image (im.mode)

  • inPlace – Boolean. If True, the original image is modified in-place, and None is returned. If False (default), a new Image object is returned with the transform applied.

  • flags – Integer (0-…) specifying additional flags

Returns:

Either None or a new Image object, depending on the value of inPlace

Raises:

This tag specifies the media black point and is used for generating absolute colorimetry.

This tag was available in ICC 3.2, but it is removed from version 4.

The value is in the format ((X, Y, Z), (x, y, Y)), if available.

media_white_point_temperature: float | None#

Calculates the white point temperature (see the LCMS documentation for more information).

viewing_condition: str | None#

The (English) display string for the viewing conditions (see 9.2.48 of ICC.1:2010).

screening_description: str | None#

The (English) display string for the screening conditions.

This tag was available in ICC 3.2, but it is removed from version 4.

clut: dict[tuple[bool]]#

Returns a dictionary of all supported intents and directions for the CLUT model.

The dictionary is indexed by intents (ImageCms.Intent.ABSOLUTE_COLORIMETRIC, ImageCms.Intent.PERCEPTUAL, ImageCms.Intent.RELATIVE_COLORIMETRIC and ImageCms.Intent.SATURATION).

The values are 3-tuples indexed by directions (ImageCms.Direction.INPUT, ImageCms.Direction.OUTPUT, ImageCms.Direction.PROOF).

The elements of the tuple are booleans. If the value is True, that intent is supported for that direction.

intent_supported: dict[tuple[bool]]#

Returns a dictionary of all supported intents and directions.

The dictionary is indexed by intents (ImageCms.Intent.ABSOLUTE_COLORIMETRIC, ImageCms.Intent.PERCEPTUAL, ImageCms.Intent.RELATIVE_COLORIMETRIC and ImageCms.Intent.SATURATION).

The values are 3-tuples indexed by directions (ImageCms.Direction.INPUT, ImageCms.Direction.OUTPUT, ImageCms.Direction.PROOF).

The elements of the tuple are booleans. If the value is True, that intent is supported for that direction.

There is one function defined on the class:

is_intent_supported(intent, direction)#

Returns if the intent is supported for the given direction.

Note that you can also get this information for all intents and directions with intent_supported.

Parameters:
  • intent – One of ImageCms.Intent.ABSOLUTE_COLORIMETRIC, ImageCms.Intent.PERCEPTUAL, ImageCms.Intent.RELATIVE_COLORIMETRIC and ImageCms.Intent.SATURATION.

  • direction – One of ImageCms.Direction.INPUT, ImageCms.Direction.OUTPUT and ImageCms.Direction.PROOF

Returns:

Boolean if the intent and direction is supported.
