Adobe rgb primaries

To make matters worse, an engineer had made an error when copying the red primary chromaticity coordinates, resulting in an even more inaccurate representation of the SMPTE standard. Adobe tried numerous tactics to correct the profile, such as correcting the red primary and changing the white point to match that of the CIE Standard Illuminant D50, yet all of the adjustments made CMYK conversion worse than before.

In the end, Adobe decided to keep the "incorrect" profile but changed the name to Adobe RGB in order to avoid a trademark search or infringement. When displayed on a monitor, the exact chromaticities of the reference white point [1,1,1], the reference black point [0,0,0], and the primaries [1,0,0], [0,1,0], and [0,0,1] are specified. To meet the color appearance requirements of the color space, the luminance of the monitor must be Moreover, the black point shall have the same chromaticity as the white point, yet with luminance equal to 0.

The ambient illumination level at the monitor faceplate when the monitor is turned off must be 32 lx. However, the greens and blues have small shifts in color, and the reds and oranges have large shifts in color. Here is another set of images that demonstrates the color differences. Why do we see these large color differences in the reds and oranges when the only difference in the two color spaces is the set of CIE chromaticity coordinates for the green primary?

The two color spaces share the same CIE chromaticity coordinates for the red and blue primaries, and share the same D65 white point and 2. The point of this post is to alert people to be careful when comparing color spaces in color managed workflows.

Everyone, how do you "ping" other members? I seem to have forgotten how When you type " ", suggestions will appear, and once you've typed "digitald", Andrew should turn up. The suggestions appear a bit slowly, and I'm not sure if this works if you don't wait for the correct name to show up, maybe it does.

Do they require a different account just for feedback? I'm puzzled. It's not just a refresh bug, saved profile reflects the displayed numbers. I get different behaviour on a mac, after selecting a custom RGB and making a change I seem to need to rename the profile as the filename is highlighted - but the renamed profile does not appear in the dropodown list.

To get a renamed custom profile to appear in the menu you have to go back to the menu and Save it. It will then appear.

I made some notes and screenshots here which was about creating a linear profile.

No mine appears in Photoshop's list with the correct "saved" name Windows 10 v20H2 and Photoshop However I did have to close and reopen the color settings dialogue to see it in the list.

D Fosse. I just have to ask: why are you doing that? This is integral to icc profiles and it's all handled in a standard color managed process. NB, colourmanagement net. Fosse, Neil, I scan lots of slides containing wild colour gradients light interference in thin films. In Response To Iridisfera.
