Re: What's the best color space to preserve image naturalness?

I presume that you are talking about digitized images.

The best way to preserve a digitized image is to leave it in the original format untouched.

If you will be performing different operations on the image, the answer depends on the tool(s) you will be using.

Re: convert - downscaling comic pages

Nic, I am not really familiar with the composite operator. Would you mind pointing me to the explanation of the "complex" command line and the rationale of the blending using an alpha mask? (I guess it is meant to thicken the black lines by picking more from the gamma-adjusted downsize.)

Re: BC-splines with 2C+B=1 are optimal for EWA resampling

Yes, I always tell my friends to use linear light downsizing with EWA Catrom or Lagrange, while they keep using USM to (/hoping to) recover the highlight lost after downsizing in sRGB. EWA Catrom is an overkill in most cases, though.

Depending on the image content, you may also want to refer to the resize algorithms and the gamma issues mentioned in: http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/filter/nicolas/#downsample For example: convert in.jpg -colorspace RGB -filter LanczosRadius -distort Resize 1100x600! -density 72 -colorspace sRGB ...

That's after the reversion of "-colorspace RGB" and "-colorspace sRGB"

Re: ImageMagick 6.8.4 darkening grayscale images on convert

I am not sure that process you mention will not work with grayscale images. It fails for me when the input gray images is already non-linear sRGB gray (as per the images for the above post). It worked a year ago when Imagemagick treated gray images (no matter grayscale or "color" images w...

Re: ImageMagick 6.8.4 darkening grayscale images on convert

"Gray problems" seem to pop up a while after the other. I try to avoid them by adding "-set colorspace srgb" immediately after the input image. So far it works.

Edit: oops... not for 6.8.4-5

Re: Lab: "a" &" b" channels leaking into L in RGB round-trip

Even if it is converted to 8-bit RGB and got rounded or truncated, it should not change the overall "brightness". No. Lab can represent colours that RGB cannot, such as different tones of fully-saturated red. When you convert these colours to RGB, you have to lose something -- either the ...
