Hi Jose,
No, L*a*b* is not the ACR internal working space. (*)
Well, it was a doubt I have had in two last months.
ACR's primary internal representation uses the ProPhoto/RIMM/ROMM RGB primaries. Exposure and brightness are based on the traditional logarithmic base 2 formulation (i.e., in stops). So boosting Exposure to +1, for example, means doubling the linear scene-referred values (i.e., increasing exposure by 1 stop). The white balance math (color temperature and tint) simply associates user-chosen white points (e.g., tungsten) to corresponding camera whites, by means of a profile's color matrix or matrices. More details (for developers) can be found in public DNG SDK on the Adobe site.
I had thought that linear values were compensated by Black, Brightness and Contrast the way gamma correction do to simulate the non linear response of human eye. Works fine as initial adjustment but I usually letf those values to cero in scene-refered if adopt the ICC workflow proposal.
Cheers, Eric
(*) ACR does use L*a*b* for some internal color difference estimates, e.g., for auto-calculated masks.
Then, are there color intenal color conversions or is something that have mean in the interaction with camera profiles from DNG Profile Editor. Thanks, and excuse my ignorance about the tool I use everyday. Jose Bueno
