Joofa, - even for me the purely theoretical part is now over,
and you may note that I was very open to your mindset.
IMO the task now is to come up with a practical example and some real-world images for illustration.
I've been asking Iliah but please feel invited as well.
Cheers! Peter
Hi Peter,
This whole discussion started from a comment of Bill (BJanes) when he said something about gamuts. I was intrigued to investigate Prophoto RGB and Adobe RGB gamuts and presented my findings with 4 cases. If you remember even the title of my original note on DPRview was "
When is ProPhoto RGB gamut bigger than Adobe RGB?" Please notice the word "When" as I presented 4 cases I found interesting. I thought it will be an interesting topic for LL and DPReview communities.
But I was not prepared for the personal attacks.
I am not a professional photographer and I am not ashamed to admit that I don't understand many of the tools used in commercial photography world because I don't use them. I don't even understand all of the lingo associated with them. All of the graphs and other things I did was based upon starting from elementary data regarding Adobe and Prophoto RGB spaces on Wikipedia and I plotted them by hand. However, this weakness of mine was attacked ferociously by many to indicate that I don't want to use certain tools.
I have studied color science and use some advanced topics in a very restrictive domain that does not match with commercial photographers.
So when I ask questions like "Why don't you use Prophoto RGB (D65)?" it is actually not criticizing anybody but I wanted to learn that what stops a professional photographer from using such stuff by slight alteration to standardized parameters.
Hope that helps.
Best regards,
Joofa
