Re: Understanding an ICC profile

Hi Mark,

the "sRGB Profile.icc" from Apple is not based on the "ITU-R BT 709-5" primaries
it is based on "ITU-R-709-2" primaries like the original "sRGB IEC61966-2.1" (sRGB Color Space Profile.icm) profile
made by HP in 1998.


Here you will find the following primaries:

Red
X: 0.4361 ; Y: 0.2225 ; Z: 0.0139

Green
X: 0.3851 ; Y: 0.7169 ; Z: 0.0971

Blue:
X: 0.1431 ; Y: 0.0606 ; Z: 0.7141

sRGB dosn't has a gamma of 2.2!
It has a curve function that is close to 2.2 but not the same.

Function:
if ( x <=  0.03928)
  y =  y / 12.92
else
  y = ((0.055 + x) / 1.055) ^ 2.4

This is the biggest difference between the original profile and the one apple has made.
Take the same image and assign both profiles and you will see the difference in the
very dark colors.


I hope this helps a little bit.

Best regards,
Clemens Beisch

Hello list,

I'm currently reading some documents about color spaces. I have the in formation about various color spaces in front of me and I just thought, cool, now let me check how this looks like in reality.

So I opened up the /System/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/sRGB Profile.icc profile.

To my surprise none of the values I have about sRGB can be found on the profile - how can that be - can someone demystify this to me?

Here's what I have on sRGB (and that I mostly cannot find on the profile):


1) Primaries / Phosphors (ITU-R BT 709-5) R G B X 0,64 0,30 0,15 Y 0,33 0,60 0,06 Z 0,03 0,10 0,79

2) White Illuminant (D65)
X	0,3127
Y	0,3290
Z	0,3583

3) XYZ to RGB Matrix
X	3,2405		-1,5371		-0,4985
Y	-0,9693		1,8760		0,0416
Z	0,0556		-0,2040		1,0572

4) RGB to XYZ Matrix
X	0,4125		0,3576		0,1804
Y	0,2127		0,7152		0,0722
Z	0,0193		0,1192		0,9503

5) Gamma
2,2

Regards
Mark
