nice article

yes, I hope many more will follow!

(Frightening how few really understand what the hell is going on. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I don't believe many artists are even aware what RGB does. It simply isn't a question you ask when you "grow up with it.")

I see it like this: for years, making CG films was something which required artists with deep rendering know how and a truckload of special equippment

whether this is a good or bad thing depends on the perspective

Bertl: Part of the issue I believe is the invisibility of Blinn's law.

For example, imaging in feature films went from 8 bit to 10 bit to 32 bit float etc., yet the base sort of “look” of the applications has often appeared almost identical.

that's the main problem of monopoly or as it is often called "state of the art" :)

I think artists have used RGB for so long that what they are actually manipulating becomes skewed accordingly.

same is true for the print folks with CMYK, which is even more weird :)

Even odder given that subtractive color is logarithmic. :)

morning troy_s!

good evening

se6astian: Greets.

MatthiasF: Hacking away I see. ;)

Well, so long I find no PhD position I have plenty of free time ;)

lets throw in a few images and its ready to roll!

In terms of visualizations

I hate walls of text, and try desperately to avoid them; I would rather see several more nuanced explanations than one massive vomment.

Damn brilliant mind working on his PhD in mathematics in signal theory. Heavy hitter if you manage to coax him into staying around.

not personally met, but we are chatting intensly :)

wonderful :)

Made me feel good too as I actually found a field he wasn't familiar with (color) which made me feel human.

Shhh there he is.

I need a clean signal to for proper interpolation benchmarking

I suspect LTE interference

What do you mean by clean signal?

Well that is probably going to be a huge winding road.

Solve that Gordian knot and the Academy will line up to give you a technical achievement paper.

se6astian: I wonder what the most cost effective spectrophotometer would be. I was thinking for the actual profiling it might be wise to make a light box.

lets ask google

But they are colorimeters

troy_s: btw, to be clear, I'm not working on any PhD for now, I am looking for one ;)

MatthiasF: Good luck with that. You are clearly not well equipped for such an effort.

I guess I am too much of a generalist :/

Really, I did my master in physics because CS would have been boring. Now it is hard for me to find a PhD outside physics.

Instant results.
