But that's not really enough to reproduce a film characteristic. As we all know, colour film (and the human eye, and digital sensors, and digital colour spaces) are tri-stimulus systems; any particular colour is reduced to three measured values. The real world, though, is not so discrete - it's

No, but it's enough to reproduce a film look. While a digital recreation of a Kocacolor or Velvia or what-have-you look may not replicate every color the same way the film would, the overall look and feel can be duplicated quite easily. Extreme technical accuracy isn't necessary in order to

It sounds like the ideal place to do some type of film characteristic mapping is through the RAW sensor data, before it has been combined through the Bayer interpolation. I.e. modify the Bayer mechanism to mimic a film type. rg John Francis wrote: But that's not really enough to reproduce

That doesn't help. You're still reducing a continuous spectrum to a single sample value. Whether that's still just at the single sensor site in the RAW file, or has been interpolated to a component in an RGB value, makes no difference. Consider that 'yellow light or red/green light' case

Your information is not true from what I can find about metamerism. For more information about metamerism, see http://www.colourware.co.uk/cpfaq/q5-2.htm or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metamerism_(color) Metamerism is related to reflective, or illuminative isomorphisms and not to spectral
