I have been interested in RGB working spaces for a long time. I have
recently done some more studies on them, trying to better understand how
well suited each might be for different color sets, such as different film
types and color charts. A consequence of this investigation has led me to
create a new working space, which I call "Beta RGB." I believe it to be an
optimal balance between:
a) Properly shaped gamut, large enough to hold "important" colors.
b) Small enough gamut that quantization (i.e. "posterization") is unlikely.
(Those knowledgeable in working spaces understand that these are opposing
goals, which must be very carefully balanced against each other.)
Anyone interested in learning more about Beta RGB, or wishing to download it
(free, of course), should go here:
