References 62 1.1 Introduction CIE XYZ is an absolute color space (not device dependent). Each visible color has non-negative coordinates X,Y,Z. CIE xyY, the horseshoe diagram as shown below, is a perspective projection of XYZ coordinates onto a plane xy. The luminance is missing. CIELab is a nonlinear transformation of XYZ into coordinates L*,a*,b*. The gamut for any RGB color system is a triangle in the CIE xyY chromaticity diagram, here shown for the CIE primaries, the NTSC primaries, the Rec.709 primaries (which are also valid for sRGB and therefore for many PC monitors) and the non-physical working space ProPhotoRGB. The white points are individually defined for the color spaces. The CIELab color space was intended for equal perceptual differences for equal chan- ges in the coordinates L*,a* and b*. Color differences deltaE are defined as Euclidian distances in CIELab. This document shows color charts in CIELab for several RGB color spaces.

That was a huge Engine, is a software component that does the color conversion improvement when regarding precision and dynamic range, which calculations from one device's color space to another. This paper is now only limited by floating point representation and can take as 39 discuses a new working mode for CMMs that allows such software much as 10 components to operate in a way that is not restricted by the gamut of the device encoding, the gamut of the profile connection space or any intermediate step. This allows ICC profiles to be used in new ways for a variety of applications. An open source CMM implementing this mode is also introduced. Background One of the main components of a color management system is the Color Matching Method, (CMM), which is the software engine in charge of controlling the color transformations that take place inside the system. By today, the vast majority of color management Figure 2. KODAK VISION2 500T Color Negative Film 5218 / 7218 systems do use International Color Consortium (ICC) profiles.

Final Cut Pro X 10.3 supports not only these new cameras and displays, but also a new industry standard that delivers more colorful photo and video content across a wide range of professional devices. This white paper discusses the concepts behind these new capabilities, and describes recommended workflows. Working with Wide Color Gamut in Final Cut Pro X | October 2016 3 Background Since the introduction of high-definition television in the 1990s, HDTV displays have been limited to a standard range of colors defined by an industry specification for HDTV broadcasts called Rec. 709 (ITU-R Recommendation BT.709). This range of colors, or color gamut, is a subset of all the colors visible to the human eye. The Rec. 709 color gamut was based on the color characteristics of cathode-ray tube (CRT) displays in use around 1990.
