Color space

Understanding the concept

A wide range of colors can be created by the subtractive primary colors of pigment (cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y), and black (K),.

1. Lab Color Space (CIELAB, LAB, L*A*B)   - Color space defined by the CIE, based on one channel for Luminance (lightness) (L) and two color channels (a and b). This color space is better suited to many digital image manipulations than the RGB space, which is typically used in image editing programs. For example, the Lab space is useful for sharpening images and the removing artifacts in JPEG images or in images from digital cameras and scanners.

ProPhoto RGB is just about the widest color space.  It's used by photographers.

As some noted authors and celebrities like to put it, "ProPhoto RGB is the only color space real men use".
 It contains many, many, MANY more colors than you can see on any monitor, it even encompasses what can only be termed "theoretical colors" because they're outside the visible color range in the physical world.



The Adobe RGB (1998) profile has been widely adopted as a working space because it provides a relatively large and balanced color gamut that can be easily repurposed for reproduction on a variety of devices.


sRGB - Smaller than Adobe RGB (1998)  it is used in websites

CMYK - K- is black meaning Kelvin , use in Printing 

Contrast - Contrast in size, color, shapes
Repetition - inuulit niya yung mga bagay sa isang page
Alignment - Alignment of a text
Proximity - Distance
