NAME
       ppmntsc - Make RGB colors legal for NTSC or PAL color systems.


SYNOPSIS
       ppmntsc

       [--pal] [--legalonly] [--illegalonly] [--correctedonly] [--verbose] [--debug] [infile]

       Minimum unique abbreviations of options are acceptable.


DESCRIPTION
       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       This  program makes colors legal in the NTSC (or PAL) color systems.  Often, images gener-
       ated on the computer are made for use in movies which ultimately end up  on  a  television
       screen.   However,  the  range  of colors (as specified by their RGB values) on a computer
       does not match the range of colors that can be represented using the NTSC  (or  PAL)  sys-
       tems.  If an image with "illegal" colors is sent directly to an NTSC (or PAL) video system
       for recording, the "illegal" colors will be clipped.  This may result  in  an  undesirable
       looking picture.

       This  utility  tests  each  pixel in an image to see if it falls within the legal NTSC (or
       PAL) range.  If not, it raises or lowers the pixel's saturation in the output so  that  it
       does  fall  within  legal  limits.  Pixels that are already OK just go unmodified into the
       output.

       Input is from the file named input.  If input is -, input is from Standard Input.  If  you
       don't specify input, input is from Standard Input.

       Output is always to Standard Output.

       This program handles multi-image PPM input, producing multi-image PPM output.


OPTIONS
       --pal  Use the PAL transform instead of the default NTSC.


       --verbose
              Print a grand total of the number of illegal pixels.


       --debug
              Produce  a humongous listing of illegal colors and their legal counterparts.  NOTE:
              This option may produce a great deal of output.


       --legalonly
              Output only pixels that are already legal.  Output black in place  of  pixels  that
              are not.


       --illegalonly
              Output only pixels that are illegal (and output them uncorrected).  Output black in
              place of pixels that are already legal.


       --correctedonly
              Output only pixels that are corrected versions of illegal pixels.  Output black  in
              place of pixels that are already legal.
