I just noticed this post on Fabio Riccardi's (LightZone) blog :-)

Fabio, do you release that virtually every serious color scientist working
with imaging, many of the Photoshop engineers, and a pile of other's in the
imaging industry have labelled Timo's theories as patiently ridiculously and
have done so for many, many years.

Andrew,
yes I know that Timo's stuff is controversial, but I think that he's spot on
on most of what he's talking about. I'm an engineer (I have a master degree
in EE and a PhD in CS) and I've been doing signal processing in many
different fields for all my life, long enough to understand that gamma
adjusted color spaces are not good for serious image processing.
Adobe seems to have gotten that too and I hear that Lightroom uses a linear
color space internally too.
My opinion about "every serious color scientist working with imaging" is
actually not very high.
As of today color science is vastly vodoo science, a pile of controversial
information, half baked theories developed in a particular context and used
in another where they do not really apply. Most of the stuff is obsolete and
unapplicable to modern imaging and you really wonder how come nobody can
write a decent book about modern digital image processing.
Moreover the issue is largely political, where the opinions of the "serious
color scientists" are usually used to protect vested interests of large
corporations. Poor Timo from Finland doesn't stand a chance...
