Hello,
I have tried to use lcms for some conversions, but I stumbled over an example
where it appears to do a poor job.
It is an image from a digital camera and I want to convert it to sRGB (or
something) using a color profile (embedded):
ftp://updates.phaseone.com/prerelease/Images/lcms/In-16bit.tif
It is a rather dark and outside the profile gamut, but it renders well using
Microsoft, Adobes and Apples color management engines.
Here are conversions using Adobe, Microsoft and LCMS:
http://updates.phaseone.com/prerelease/Images/lcms/Out-16bit-sRGB-Adobe.tif
http://updates.phaseone.com/prerelease/Images/lcms/Out-16bit-sRGB-Microsoft.tif
http://updates.phaseone.com/prerelease/Images/lcms/Out-16bit-sRGB-LCMS.tif
Black-poiont compensation was turned off on the Adobe conversion (performed by
PhotoShop).
The Microsoft engine was performed using native calls.
This particular conversion was created with the flags cmsFLAGS_HIGHRESPRECALC |
cmsFLAGS_BLACKPOINTCOMPENSATION, but I tried just about any permutation and the
problem is basically the same regardless of intent.
Just to check I am not completely insane I tried to do the conversion in Gimp
(based on LCMS).
First I converted to 8-bit in PhotoShop and then did the conversion in both:
http://updates.phaseone.com/prerelease/Images/lcms/Out-8bit-sRGB-Adobe.tif
http://updates.phaseone.com/prerelease/Images/lcms/Out-8bit-sRGB-GIMP.tif
Same result, so I conclude that this is how LCMS handles the conversion.
Is there a way to solve this issue?
Kind regards,
