The color space I propose to use CIE Luv, is also what you would consider a "HS_" color space, except for that fact that it is more perceptually uniform and better engineered. CIE Luv > HSL > HSV. CIE Luv is like CIE Lab, except that instead of having an opponent color model like CIE Lab/Y'CbCr it provides a hue angle and a saturation like HS_. I'm arguing that I do not want HSV in the base distribution of babl, I probably do not want HSL either but I can agree to put CIE Luv in there. If GIMP will have a need to support it's confusing HSV legacy it will probably have to do so by providing it's own babl extensions to do so that do not live in the babl tree, as well as it's own GEGL plug-in operations that do not live in the GEGL tree. /Øyvind K. -- «The future is already here.
