I propose a new colorspace named "xyY" or perhaps "CIExyY". See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIE_1931_color_space for the transformations between XYZ and xyY.

This will help us build CIE 1931 chromaticity diagrams:

The following diff files, from v6.8.9-6, give changes that implement xyY:

We'll get your patch into the next point release of ImageMagick. Thanks for your contribution.

Thanks.

It seems that IM's conversions between any two colorspaces is always done via sRGB. But not all images can be encoded in sRGB. Modern cameras capture colours outside sRGB's gamut, and printers can print them. So a recent trend is to use colorspaces with a wider gamut. The code in colorspace.c clips values to be within sRGB, with ClampToQuantum().

(For a background on colorspaces, profiles and gamuts, I recommend Andrew Rodney's 37-minute video "Everything you thought you wanted to know about color gamut" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0bxSD-Xx-Q . The 3-D graphs have axes x, y and Y.)

A kludged solution is not to clamp, and use HDRI. Then colours outside the sRGB gamut will have values <0 or >Quantum, but the arithmetic still works. In my colorspace.c, I have replaced many occurrences of "ClampToQuantum" with "CLAMPQUANT". New code defines this:

Code: Select all

#if defined(MAGICKCORE_HDRI_SUPPORT)
#define CLAMPQUANT
#else
#define CLAMPQUANT ClampToQuantum
#endif

I do not propose this kludge.

A non-kludge solution would work with integer IM, and yield correct XYZ or xyY values for images that are encoded in profiles wider than sRGB, such as AdobeRGB1998 or ProPhoto. This needs more work.

Does anyone have any thoughts?

Use HDRI. ClampToQuantum() is a no-op for HDRI so the full range of the colorspace is preserved. This is among the reasons we choose to default to HDRI for ImageMagick version 7.

Oh, gosh, so it is (in quantum.h). I confirm my kludge has no effect in HDRI. Sorry about that.

This is good news. However, I don't see how an image encoded in a wide-profile would get an accurate XYZ or xyY encoding. For example, the purest green (0,100%,0) in AdobeRGB1998 is out of gamut in sRGB. In sRGB it would be something like (0,125%,0). I don't know how to do that conversion in IM.

Cracked it. The first line creates a sample image in AdobeRGB space; the last line gives the sRGB values.

Code: Select all

convert ^
  xc:#0f0 -set profile AdobeRGB1998.icc ^
  -precision 15 -profile D65_XYZ.icc +strip -set colorspace XYZ -colorspace sRGB txt:

D65_XYZ is available from http://www.color.org/XYZprofiles.xalter.

Please forgive my ramblings. My queries are solved. Thanks.
