Configures OpenComic AI to preserve ICC color profiles in output images by integrating with the Sharp image processing library. This ensures color accuracy when upscaling images with embedded color profiles.

​
Syntax

OpenComicAI.keepIccProfile(sharp: any, pipelineColourspace?: string): void

​
Parameters

​
sharp
any
required
The Sharp instance to use for ICC profile preservation. Pass the Sharp library object.
​
pipelineColourspace
string
default:"rgb16"
The color space to use in the Sharp processing pipeline. Common values: 'rgb16', 'srgb', 'rgb'.

​
Returns

void - This method does not return a value.

​
Behavior

  • Integrates Sharp for post-processing upscaled images
  • Preserves embedded ICC color profiles from source images
  • Applies the profile to output images automatically
  • Uses the specified color space for internal processing

​
Example

import OpenComicAI from '@opencomic/ai-bin';
import sharp from 'sharp';

// Enable ICC profile preservation
OpenComicAI.keepIccProfile(sharp);

// Upscale an image with color profile preservation
await OpenComicAI.upscale({
  input: 'photo.jpg',
  output: 'upscaled-photo.jpg'
});

​
Custom color space

import sharp from 'sharp';

// Use sRGB color space instead of rgb16
OpenComicAI.keepIccProfile(sharp, 'srgb');

​
Why preserve ICC profiles?

ICC profiles ensure consistent color reproduction across different devices and applications. Without preservation:
  • Colors may appear differently than intended
  • Professional photography workflows may break
  • Color-calibrated images lose their calibration
With ICC profile preservation:
  • Original color intent is maintained
  • Professional color accuracy is preserved
  • Images display consistently across platforms

​
Installation

This feature requires the Sharp library: 
npm install sharp

​
Color space options

  • 'rgb16' (default) - 16-bit RGB color space, highest quality
  • 'srgb' - Standard RGB color space
  • 'rgb' - 8-bit RGB color space
Choose 'rgb16' for maximum color fidelity, or 'srgb' for smaller file sizes.
