Hi guys
I'm finding myself in need of measuring a lot of color swatches, and would
like to create some custom color swatches for Photoshop, from my
measurements values.
I have a few questions related to that subject:
Is there an easy way to import a text file with the Lab, XYZ or LUV values
AND the corresponding names of the patches, and convert this to a Photoshop
Color swatch including names and all?
Is there any way I could make these swatches appear in the custom part of
the color picker (alongside Pantone, Anpa etc.).
If I found a way of doing this, would the values be converted correctly,
regardless of which RGB Workingspace I was to use later on, so that I could
trust that the color would be correct, regardless of whether I use sRGB or
Wide Gamut (provided that the gamut of the colors is within the working
space gamut of course)?
And suppose I for some reason measured the values in say Adobe RGB(1998),
and entered the values as such, would they still be correct if I changed my
Workingspace to say ColorMatch RGB? I guess what I'm asking is if the
swatches palette always output "correct" color regardless of which workspace
is chosen?
If this conversion is done the way I hope it is (via the ColorSync engine)
would these colors be converted using perceptual or a Colorimetric rendering
intent? I suspect the answer is that it depends on which rendering intent is
chosen under Color Settings, but I would love to know for sure.
Thanks in advance
