The ExportChartToSpotSeparatesTIFF process exports a chart to TIFF spot separates.
Input
HPD URI chart (identified by chart version ID) or stand-alone PCC chart (defined by a path and file name).
Output
Path to the folder where spot separated exports are stored.
An rgb2token XML file is automatically generated and saved to the same folder as the exported files. This file defines specific RGB values to colour tokens.
Syntax
carisbatch --run ExportChartToSpotSeparatesTIFF --spot-configuration <value> [options] <input> <output>
Options
Long | Short | Description | Can Repeat | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
--spot-configuration | -s | The path and name of the spot configuration definition file for defining colour layers and the respective colour tokens for the spot separates. | FALSE | Required |
--file-prefix | -P | The process produces multiple files, therefore a prefix is inserted at the beginning of the file names for the output files. The default value is 1. | FALSE | Optional |
--dpi | -d | The pixels per square inch (DPI) in the output image. A greater resolution means a sharper image. The default value is 300. | FALSE | Optional |
--colour-map-file | -M | The colour mapping file used to map RGB colours to equivalent colour tokens. | FALSE | Optional |
--use-monochrome | -m | If this flag is set, all files are exported as 1-bit per pixel black and white. | FALSE | Optional |
--output-template | -o | The output template file that is used at export to determine final display in the TIFF chart. | FALSE | Optional |
