icc profile for photoshop
Alexander Forsythe <alexfo...@...>
Jack Holm had identified a number of issues with the ICC profiles and was willing to help correct them. Alex On Sat, Jan 28, 2017 at 7:42 AM, Haarm-Pieter Duiker <li...@...> wrote:

sounds similar to us then, do you explicitly assign a profile to the We always bake to sRGB and have the computers use that as their display profile. Nuke doesn't respect the actual display properties, so we don't want Photoshop to either. In the past few years Photoshop has added the Color Lookup adjustment layer and artists are starting to turn off color management in Photoshop and use that instead, which matches Nuke exactly. Would this be a good time to mention how nice it would be if Adobe would add OCIO as an option or let us set an explicit LUT for display? I guess their response would be to tell those smaller companies like Autodesk and the Foundry to adopt their ICC workflow. Brendan |

This is the (ab)use I mentioned in our usage - we use a perfect display profile for all our machines so we only bake a single ICC for a given look using the same profile - it essentially defeats the colour management engine somewhat but means it "matches Nuke" (OCIO Display node). Our monitors calibration is handled within the monitors. Kevin |

The differences often don't seem too major, but I'm usually making them for Matte Painters who have a VERY good eye for even small shifts. It's hard to tell how much of it is non-optimal profiles from OCIO vs. limitations in the CMS software vs. limitations in the ICC approach overall. Maybe Lars can help us get to the bottom of it.

We set up with P3 monitors and generate profiles using the displays' profile typically with a log input colour space with some wide primary set, e. g. ACEScc(t). What sort of differences do you see?

Is there any interest in creating WCG/HDR-ready ICC profiles within OCIO? Yes!!! And aside from lacking the improvements you mention, I find the ICCs we're currently making to be pretty inadequate. If set up an ICC transformation and compare it to the original LUT, there are usually noticeable differences. It's in the ballpark, but often not good enough for production work. Brendan |

Lars, Ah, now I feel a little silly for not recognising your email address! I'm interested in improving the use of hdr/wcg/ACES* images in Adobe's products, so I'll bite too. Or current (ab)use of the profiles really does not acknowledge colour management and it is more a way of applying a lut, without the need for an adjustment layer. Though not strictly OCIO related, I'm particularly interested in an integer representation for use with Photoshop, having better profiles would help with that. Kevin |

Count me as interested. It would be very helpful if the ICC generation capabilities of OCIO could handle HDR input ranges and wide color gamuts. HP On Tue, Jan 24, 2017 at 9:19 PM 'Lars Borg' via OpenColorIO Developers <ocio...@...> wrote: Hi Kevin, |

Hi Kevin,
Well, I had planned to write a longer mail, but it got sent prematurely. Here is a longer version: Is there any interest in creating WCG/HDR-ready ICC profiles within OCIO? The current set of ICC profiles from OCIO (I looked at the ones created for ACES 1.0.3) has some short-comings in current workflows and that we should consider addressing. Here's my list: 1. The profile’s PCS space is too small, just Lab. The ICC specification states that compliant implementations (CMMs) shall constrain (clip) conversions to the ICC Lab range. The ICC Lab range is 0..100 for L, and -128..+128 for a and b. This space was sufficient for printing. It is not sufficient for say Rec. 2020. For Rec. 2020 the green corner is outside ICC’s Lab range. This is easily shown in a ColorSync plot. Other spaces that support colors (already in SDR mode) wider than ICC Lab includes ACES, ACEScc,ACEScg, ARRI LogC, Sony S-Gamut, Now it might not matter to you as today all your colors are inside the P3 space and (SDR) P3 fits completely within ICC Lab range. Another aspect that saves the day is that not all CMMs are ICC compliant. Some CMMs support intermediate values outside the Lab range. But now you’re relying heavily on deviations from the spec. 2. The profile is an SDR profile, not supporting any HDR content or HDR displays. Lab maxes out at ACES diffuse white (100). When applying RRT ODT to ACES HDR shots, this (in a compliant CMM) clips the specular highlights. Constrained XYZ gives us 2x headroom. Not much but should give us less clipping. However, we can use ICC profiles in non-constrained mode, extrapolating into HDR space. Marti Maria (lcms) suggested this years ago, and we’ve been doing this since 2006. All but 3D LUTs can be extrapolated. We’re now routinely creating HDR profiles for HDR TV, log cinema spaces, etc. Interested? Lars Borg Adobe |

Now's the time to make better ICC profiles ?! Whilst I'm don't think OCIO has perfect ICC support, I'm not sure what you propose is even possible. Last time I read the ICC specifications the only options for profile connection space are L*a*b* and XYZ, neither of which have any limits which prevent you using 2020 gamut - I certainly have profiles using ACES AP1 which is wider than 2020. Could you describe what you are trying to do? As a random guess are you perhaps relying on the inbuilt sRGB display profile, when really you need a wider one? Kevin |

As far as I was aware, the Photoshop ICC instructions were up-to-date.. then again it was written for the previous Photoshop version, and was written a while ago now. I'm curious to see what changes are required! On 13/12/2012, at 5:03 AM, Andrew Britton wrote: @dbr, |

Did you write in a post, here or on github, that you are working on updating the ICC usage in Photoshop documentation? I was going to write some of notes as well and update the OCIO documentation so it would be great to see what was going to be added. On Tuesday, December 11, 2012 4:06:10 AM UTC-8, dbr/Ben wrote:

I don't even know if this is of any use at all (since my programming skills in Photoshop is very limited), but we wrote a little script that allows you to toggle between two ICC profiles by just using a shortcut key...I would be happy to send it out if anyone needs it. As it stands, I built a crazy little pipeline where: - we enter the 3D-Lut in shotgun - a shotgun event automatically kicks off an ocio generation of the ICC profile (for the shot, seq, or show) - when you open a PSD file, a script parses the filename and loads the correct ICC profile for that image I am always in debt to OCIO as it has made our color pipeline so much easier to manage.
