CMYK to Linear Adobe® 98 RGB compatible Converter - Color Space Converter

CMYK color space introduction

Also known as the CMYK color space.There are 4 channels in total, cyan,commonly referred to as c,range from 0 to 100.magenta,commonly referred to as m,range from 0 to 100.yellow,commonly referred to as y,range from 0 to 100.black,commonly referred to as k,range from 0 to 100.
Source: CMYK is derived from the process of color printing. It's the result of the subtractive process, meaning the colors on the original white paper are achieved by subtracting certain colors from white.
Primary name: CMYK, full name being Cyan Magenta Yellow Key, where 'Key' typically refers to Black.
Usage: CMYK is mainly used for color printing, such as in magazines, brochures, posters, etc. It's also employed in graphic design related to printing.
Additionally, it's important to note that CMYK cannot represent all the colors in the RGB color space, especially those very bright ones. This is called a 'color gamut', and different color spaces have different gamuts. Furthermore, Black (K) is introduced in CMYK because pure CMY color mixing typically cannot produce a true black, but rather a deep brown.

Linear Adobe® 98 RGB compatible color space introduction

Also known as the Linear Adobe® 98 RGB compatible color space.There are 3 channels in total,Red,range from 0 to 1.Green,range from 0 to 1.Blue,range from 0 to 1.
Linear Adobe RGB is a variant of the Adobe RGB color space, where the gamma correction typically applied in the standard Adobe RGB space is removed.
Linear Adobe RGB, also known as Adobe RGB Linear.
In the Linear Adobe RGB color space, colors are represented through Red (R), Green (G), and Blue (B) channels without gamma correction, thus providing direct linear light values.
Linear Adobe RGB is primarily used in color management and image processing applications where linear light values are more convenient for calculations.
Due to its direct representation of the physical properties of light, Linear Adobe RGB is particularly suitable for advanced image processing and color correction tasks, such as HDR image processing and 3D rendering.
