Hello Elle,
Hi Julien, Thanks! for taking the time to respond.
Color management is a hard subject. In the gimp-users list, questions about color management are rare, because common users don't use it, because they don't understand it. In the other hand, this document will be interesting for users who know color management.
Maybe everything under "Choose shades of gray based on" except the actual formulas should be moved to the Notes at the bottom of the page?
Your participation is a chance for gimp-help. I think we can keep this text as it is, but a tutorial about color management for newbies becomes necessary.
Yes - I've been working on a tutorial that could be included in GIMP help or the official online GIMP tutorials.
Only small remarks: - Precise that these options belong to the Mode item.
My apologies, I don't understand what "Precise that these options belong to the Mode item" means. What is a Mode item?
- All elements of a dialog must be described, even if they look evident, because they might not be evident for some users: function, what are they useful for?
Are you referring to the "Advanced Color Options"?
-"linearized RGB" needs a link.
Linearizing the sRGB TRC is actually at the core of how GIMP 2.9/2.10 differs from GIMP 2.8 and from other image editors.
A short explanation to which references to "linearized" and "linear" can link would be a nice thing to add to the GIMP tutorials or help, yes?
Section 1 of this link gives the mathematics for linearizing the sRGB TRC: http://brucelindbloom.com/index.html?Eqn_RGB_to_XYZ.html
Someone who doesn't already understand "linearized RGB" probably won't find the mathematical formula for undoing the sRGB companding curve to be very helpful in understanding what "linearize" actually means.
