(Fwd) Discussion on "recommendation for color repres

Now I see there has unfortunately also been a crossposting by Laurent of this message to pear-dev? Well, it wasn't listed in the To-header :-(( Just to inform folks on pear-dev who follow this thread I also crosspost my two mails here now. ------- Forwarded message follows ------- From: "Stefan Neufeind" <stefan@neufeind.net> To: <pear-qa@lists.php.net>, "Laurent Laville" <pear@laurent-laville.org> Date sent: Sat, 17 Apr 2004 13:42:20 +0200 Priority: normal Subject: [PEAR-QA] Discussion on "recommendation for color representation" [ Double-click this line for list subscription options ] Dear PEARs, it's now already been a while that the first version of the "recommendation for color representation" found it's way into the PEAR manual. Unfortunately there haven't been much comments on this yet - and what's more interestsing: There have been even a few comments (on IRC etc.) which were never published. One part of this discussion was a talk I had with Pierre some while ago on IRC. We discussed what might be a clean way to integrate CMYK- representation etc. to the existing recommendation. In RGB(A) most people use ranges 0..255 for the color-channels. However, with different color representations they are more commonly representated as percent (afaik in CYMK also). Pierre said that it might be a good idea to choose a common representation / range for all color-formats. He proposed to take a range of 0..1 in float. This makes sense, since it also allows for far more fine-grained values etc. and that range can be used for all color-representations (even the 0..100% etc.). What do you think about that change? The recommendation exists but afaik hasn't been implemented in a PEAR package so far. But as soon as Image_Color might maybe soon get a new release etc. it would be good to have a "stable" recommendation, and not discuss it again in a few month. Please post your comments in this thread! Would there be a volunteer (Laurent?) to evaluate/comment the changes to the recommendation and after a while change the recommendation accordingly? I'm currently very short of time due to work - so I can't take care of either the recommendation nor Image_Color myself.
