On Windows the dbblast command line utility is called cldbblast.exe.
On Linux the GUI version of the dbblast and the command line version are
the same.
When run from the command line, dbblast will use the configuration
settings made by dbblast's
Configure dbblast... dialog. However, you
can override these settings from the command line using the -l, -r,
-p, -n, -o, and -s arguments. See below.
To batch process image files cd to the directory containing
the images. Then type:
(cl)dbblast --batch
This will batch process all .jpg and/or .png images in the current
directory using the reference file default.dbr, also in the current
directory. Output files will be stored in a directory called dbblast
under the current working directory. You will need to create
default.dbr using dbblast in GUI mode before running the command.
See
Creating the Reference File
for details.
You can specify another .dbr reference file like so:
(cl)dbblast --batch -d reference
where "reference" is the full or relative path to the .dbr file.
Specify the average lighness threshhold with:
(cl)dbblast --batch -l nnn
where nnn is a value between 0 and 255.
Specify the color range threshhold with:
(cl)dbblast --batch -r nnn
where nnn is a value between 0 and 255.
Disable threshhold checking with:
(cl)dbblast --batch -t
Specify the image save quality with:
(cl)dbblast --batch -s nnn
where nnn is a value between 30 and 100.
Process hot pixels only (no dust bunny processing) with:
(cl)dbblast --batch -p
The file default.hpx containing valid hot pixel coordinates
will need to be in the working directory.
See: Removing hot pixels.
Disable hotpixel processing with:
(cl)dbblast --batch -n
This will will disable hotpixel processing even if the
file default.hpx is in the working directory.
Specify an output directory with:
(cl)dbblast --batch -o pathspec
where pathspec is the full or relative path to the output directory.
Display the dbblast version with:
(cl)dbblast -v
You can display a usage message with:
(cl)dbblast -h
