Hey color geeks,
Any body given some thought to targeting images for specific illuminants?
Most of our profiles are built using a D50 illuminant L*a*b* space. When we
convert from one profile to the next the profiles usually contain a D50
L*a*b* PCS. I am thinking that we would need to use a L*a*b* space with the
targeted illuminant (i.e. Illuminant A [incandescent], L*a*b* space) and
then use this as either an abstract profile or simulation profile in three
fold transform. I know we have a D65 L*a*b* profile but not sure if another
illuminant could be used instead? Any thoughts on this topic?
