Gamut Mapping

2006-04-05 by Tom

Ok .... you have my deepest respect on handling Gamut mapping.  I've
gotten through making a color reference model simplistic handling of
in-gamut colors.  Handling out of gamut colors and actually making
them *look good* is a serious pain.  Sure you can just clip things or
slide them inward somehow but photographs look horrible if you do it
wrong.

Here's a question though.  Is CV working on / with the new Microsoft
color model?  I heard that it is compatible with ICC profiles but they
have their own de-coupled engine (ICC profiles have some
pre-calculated parameters).  Since that gamut mapping is such a pain
in the butt and the CV routines do a great job with my photographs, if
we use the new de-coupled windows color system we loose that carefuly
calcuated mapping don't we?

If the answer is under the Microsoft NDA I'll understand if no answer
is possible.  Honestly I'm looking to preserve the quality of the
profiles I have now and am unsure about the Microsoft direction.

Thanks :-)
