Re: [APML] more LRGB madness



Tony,
Keep up the good work and maybe some sort of new
breakthrough will develop. I've always maintained that
the rgb portion of the lrgb method was more important
than it was usually treated. I've just had neither the time nor
the conditions to do much about it.
This also reminds of the article someone posted about luminosity.

Hello,       More experiments... more madness... try this: Take any regular RGB color shot... make it something that has a fair amount of detail and range in it... look at the histogram. If it is typical, the histogram will go across a fair amount of the graph.     Now either convert it to grayscale or go to saturation and delete all the color information out of it... now look at the histogram... it SHRANK!      What does this mean for a good LRGB? It probably means that if anything, the RGB information has to be MORE than the L component for a good result... that is, the L histogram has to fit INSIDE the RGB histogram by about 20%. THIS is why the RGB alone that I printed came out so nice, and why the LRGB with more L than RGB was such a disaster.     Am I obsessed?   Probably....   sorry....            Tony
