NAME sips -- scriptable image processing system. SYNOPSIS sips [image-query-functions] imagefile ... sips [profile-query-functions] profile ... sips [image-modification-functions] imagefile ... [--out result-file-or-dir] sips [profile-modification-functions] profile ... [--out result-file-or-dir] DESCRIPTION This tool is used to query or modify raster image files and ColorSync ICC profiles. Its functionality can also be used through the "Image Events" AppleScript suite. FUNCTIONS Profile query functions: -g key --getProperty key Output the property value for key to stdout. -X tag tagFile --extractTag tag tagFile Write a profile tag element to tagFile. -v --verify Verify any profile problems and log output to stdout. Image query functions: -g key --getProperty key Output the property value for key to stdout. -x profile --extractProfile profile Get the embedded profile from image and write it to profile. Profile modification functions: -s key value --setProperty key value Set a property value for key to value. -d key --deleteProperty key Remove a property value for key. --deleteTag tag Remove the tag element from a profile. --copyTag srcTag dstTag Copy the srcTag element of a profile to dstTag. --loadTag tag tagFile Set the tag element of a profile to the contents of tagFile. --repair Repair any profile problems and log output to stdout. Image modification functions: -s key value --setProperty key value Set a property value for key to value. -d key --deleteProperty key Remove a property value for key. -e profile --embedProfile profile Embed profile in image. -E profile --embedProfileIfNone profile Embed profile in image only if image doen't have a profile. -m profile --matchTo profile Color match image to profile. -M profile intent --matchToWithIntent profile intent Color match image to profile with rendering intent perceptual | relative | saturation | absolute. --deleteColorManagementProperties Delete color management properties in TIFF, PNG, and EXIF dictionaries. -r degreesCW --rotate degreesCW -f horizontal|vertical --flip horizontal|vertical -c pixelsH pixelsW --cropToHeightWidth pixelsH pixelsW Crop image to fit specified size. -p pixelsH pixelsW --padToHeightWidth pixelsH pixelsW Pad image with pixels to fit specified size. --padColor hexcolor Use this color when padding. White=FFFFFF, Red=FF0000, Default=Black=000000 -z pixelsH pixelsW --resampleHeightWidth pixelsH pixelsW Resample image at specified size. Image apsect ratio may be altered. --resampleWidth pixelsW Resample image to specified width. --resampleHeight pixelsH Resample image to specified height. -Z pixelsWH --resampleHeightWidthMax pixelsWH Resample image so height and width aren't greater than specified size. -i --addIcon Add a Finder icon to image file. OPTIONS The commands --getProperty, --setProperty, and --deleteProperty can use one of the following keys as a parameter. Special property keys: all binary data allxml binary data Image property keys: dpiHeight float dpiWidth float pixelHeight integer (read-only) pixelWidth integer (read-only) typeIdentifier string (read-only) format string jpeg | tiff | png | gif | jp2 | pict | bmp | qtif | psd | sgi | tga formatOptions string default | [low|normal|high|best|<percent>] | [lzw|packbits] space string (read-only) samplesPerPixel integer (read-only) bitsPerSample integer (read-only) creation string (read-only) make string model string software string (read-only) description string copyright string artist string profile binary data hasAlpha boolean (read-only) Profile property keys: description utf8 string size integer (read-only) cmm string version string class string (read-only) space string (read-only) pcs string (read-only) creation string platform string quality string normal | draft | best deviceManufacturer string deviceModel integer deviceAttributes0 integer deviceAttributes1 integer renderingIntent string perceptual | relative | saturation | absolute creator string copyright string md5 string (read-only) <nowiki>
