Thank you very much for the explanation.

I think the following should be the right way, what do you think about it?

tiffgamut -d1.0 -f90 -pj -ir -cmt ProPhoto.icm photo.tif
collink -qh -G photo.gam -ip -cmt -dpp ProPhoto.icm printer.icc
photo2printer.icc
cctiff photo2printer.icc photo.tif readytoprint.tif



I agree I should choose viewing conditions from the enumerated
choices, but I want to be sure if I fully understand their meaning.
The input viewing conditions (-c) should be mt (Monitor in typical
work environment) beacuse I judge the picture in terms of how I see it
at the monitor, am I right?
The output viewing conditions (-d) should be pp (Practical Reflection
Print) because I intend to print the image, am I right?
If I wanted to display the image on a second monitor with a lower
gamut instead of print it I had to choose mt for the output viewing
condition too, am I right?


From cctiff documentation: "-p use slow precise floating point
conversion, rather than fast integer routines", but also "the -c, -p,
-k and -r options are intended to aid debugging"
So should I use -p to achieve the best possible quality or not?

Cheers,
