Roger,
Modern imagery is all about computer displays, and digital capture. The
base colorimetric models that are baked into the ICC approach are simply
not appropriate for very high dynamic range capture (15 stops!) ,and
self-luminous displays viewed under random uncontrolled conditions. Maybe
the digital cinema guys will write the rules of the new world.
If I were feeling really harsh, I would say that even our assumptions re.
basic observer functions are being pushed to the limit by the new display
tech, in particular the very peaky RGB Leds and OLed displays. It would be
interesting to ask Prof Hunt what he thinks of these matters, as I believe
he was party to both color TV and Ektachrome when they were being
developed, and is thus very familiar with the fact that measurement and
technology need to be developed in tandem.
