ICC profile connection space

It is a white point. XYZ is an absolute color system - you only need a white point if you need a white point adaption, i.e. if you want to map the scene white point to the target (display device, printer etc) white point. Not said that you shouldn't do that, but that's a different task and part of what a CMM might or might not implement, for example by means of a Bradford transformation. Of course XYZ is "limited" to the visual spectrum, that's the whole point of XYZ - what is visible by humans. If you need color matching for your canary bird, well, XYZ and ICC profiles are not for you. But I believe that then the market for such technology is pretty limited. (-: I will restate, it is the intent and working space I have a problem with and in so the CMM the perceptual and saturation and relative colorimetric intents are based on an ideal print, absolute colorimetric is not, absolute colorimetric intent might have a use case for converting between the same devices, that is all I see my problem with working spaces is most applications (I use gimp) don't allow CIELAB, CIELUV or CIEXYZ working spaces and gimp doesn't allow you to choose the connection space, I think this is specified in the profiles not the CMM -- Dale |

Perceptual and saturation are not based on "print", but "reproduction by an output device". Whether that is a monitor or a printer is irrelevant for the purpose of a CMM. Neither would I say "ideal" because it is the job of the profile to compensate for the non-idealness of the device. If the device and the profile do not fit to each other, then this is not the failure of the CMM, but the vendor by providing you a profile that is wrong. absolute colorimetric intent might have a use case for converting between the same devices, that is all I see No, it is just a matter of what your intent is. Absolute is just one possible intent, i.e. get exactly the same colors. That means, of course due to adaption of the human eye, that the colors will look different under different illumination, even for devices that create their colors themselves (such as monitors), but it is of course more a problem for devices using a multiplicative color reproduction (such as printers). my problem with working spaces is most applications (I use gimp) don't allow CIELAB, CIELUV or CIEXYZ working spaces Huh? First of all, the choice of the PCS does, ideally, not change the rendering. The PCS is just the coordinate system within which the profiles are specified, and the PCS is used as a common fixpoint between input and output device, nothing more. Thus, up to numerical errors, whether the PCS is XYZ or CIELab shouldn't make a difference, just that some profiles and rendering intents are more easily expressed with CIELab than XYZ. Second, if gimp is your problem, why not report to the gimp authors? Nobody here can help you with the deficiencies of gimp (only 8 bit per sample, no ICC support). You can either a) report to the gimp team, or b) supply patches to fix the problem, or c) use another program, but your approach d) complain about it here is not very efficient and won't help at all. and gimp doesn't allow you to choose the connection space, I think this is specified in the profiles not the CMM Why should gimp do that? And what would be the purpose of that? Yes, the rendering intent is in the profiles, but it is up to the CMM to support other ones and reflect the choices of the user. Once again, the PCS does not encode a rendering intent, nor should it make any visible difference - it is only a coordinate system. Second, gimp doesn't allow you to use a fully calibrated color workflow, it only operates in the 8bpp "color space" your monitor seems to have. But if that's your problem, I suggest to buy more professional software that offers support ICC profiles. |

You get what you pay for. Either gimp does what you need to do, then use it and be quiet. Or it doesn't, but then look for alternative solutions. *Here* nobody can help you with gimp. Wrong place for requesting improvements. |
