You'll care when your 16bit/channel operations make your work take
longer than your competitor working at 8bits/channel with the same
quality result.
And since LAB is far from intuitive (about the only thing intuitive
about it is lightness) --
I am a fan Lab. I think you all know that. That does not mean I don't
understand the benefits of RGB.
Actually, in this case, I think you really don't understand.
I just think Chris is manipulating the data
to prove his point. Each process has its place. Like Ed suggested, we may
end up doing detail, and major CC's in lab and fine tune in RGB, who knows.
Please don't let Chris convince you of something that is not true. Test it
yourself.
I'm not manipulating the data -- but you apparently don't understand
what I'm telling you.
If you know color and image processing even relatively well, then
it's obvious that LAB is not a good working space.
