Does anyone have information on Kodak's openrgb color space?
My God, have they renamed it yet again???

Well, openrgb.pf (the one that shows up as above) is the legacy RGB
workspace of color conversion profiles (1996) installed for use
primarily in the conversion of Kodak PhotoCD images. It's installed
under PhotoShop 3 and 4. It's not as large or uniform as ProPhotoRGB
as a workspace, but larger overall than the common RGB spaces and is
meant to emulate an identifiable workspace of Kodak films - kind of
like having their own Lab, but RGB for monitor and photo-processing
machine operator color correction monitors. Some weird spikes, but
overall it was one of the first mainstream workflow requirements to
bring space-to-space conversion to the masses. I jumped on board,
fell off mostly, but still appreciate Kodak's efforts getting RGB and
Lab workspace into the common photograhic lab technician's lingo.
