25 !!DESCRIPTION
26
27
28 This program makes colors legal in the NTSC (or PAL) color
29 systems. Often, images generated on the computer are made
30 for use in movies which ultimately end up on video tape.
31 However, the range of colors (as specified by their RGB
32 values) on a computer does not match the range of colors
33 that can be represented using the NTSC (or PAL) systems. If
34 an image with

36
37 This utility tests each pixel in an image to see if it falls
38 within the legal NTSC (or PAL) range. If not, it raises or
39 lowers the pixel's saturation in the output so that it does
40 fall within legal limits. Pixels that are already OK just go
41 unmodified into the output.
42
43
44 Input is from the file named ''input''. If ''input''
45 is __-__, input is from Standard Input. If you don't
46 specify ''input'', input is from Standard
47 Input.
48
49
50 Output is always to Standard Output.
51
52
53 This program handles multi-image PPM input, producing
54 multi-image PPM output.

59
60
61 Use the PAL transform instead of the default
62 NTSC.
63
64
65 __--verbose__
66
67
68 Print a grand total of the number of illegal
69 pixels.
70
71
72 __--debug__
73
74
75 Produce a humongous listing of illegal colors and their
76 legal counterparts. NOTE: This option may produce a great
77 deal of output.
78
79
80 __--legalonly__
81
82
83 Output only pixels that are already legal. Output black in
84 place of pixels that are not.
85
86
87 __--illegalonly__
88
89
90 Output only pixels that are illegal (and output them
91 uncorrected). Output black in place of pixels that are
92 already legal.
93
94
95 __--correctedonly__
96
97
98 Output only pixels that are corrected versions of illegal
99 pixels. Output black in place of pixels that are already
100 legal.
