The topic of Documentation came up recently. It occurred to me that existing and future Gimp developers might find documentation on color spaces and ICC profiles helpful. So I wrote up a "Completely Painless Programmer's Guide to XYZ, RGB, ICC, xyY, and TRCs", which is posted on my website at http://ninedegreesbelow.com/temp/xyz-rgb.html. If my Guide seems useful to developers, I'll put the content under an applicable license so it can be hosted elsewhere and modified by other people. In the meantime, if anyone would like to read it and give feedback, corrections, suggestions, I'll edit the Guide to make it more clear, more useful, etc (if nobody is interested, that's OK too!). If there's an interest, I'll put together Part 2, which would cover: * CieLAB (how it relates to XYZ and why it's useful for image editing) * CMY(K) (how it relates to RGB and XYZ) * YCbCr, YUV, HSL, and HSV (how these derivative color spaces are connected to their parent RGB color space) * LCMS2 (how it links working space profiles with monitor, camera, and printer profiles) Elle -- Elle Stone http://ninedegreesbelow.com Just because it's a standard, doesn't mean it's right. _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list
