sYCC is news to me. But I would not investigate it further, personnally,
because I get good results shooting in RAW mode with either sRGB or AdobeRGB
with my Nikon D100. Isn't YCC the native encoding space for Kodak PhotoCD?
It looks like Kodak is trying to breathe life a product that has not met
with the expected market acceptance when offered as part of the PhotoCD
package for color pros. I presume the 's' stands for 'standard'?
