CMYK to Linear ProPhoto RGB 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 ProPhoto RGB color space introduction

Also known as the Linear ProPhoto RGB 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 ProPhoto RGB is a variant of the ProPhoto RGB color space, where the nonlinear gamma curve typically applied in ProPhoto RGB is removed.
Linear ProPhoto RGB or ProPhoto RGB Linear.
In Linear ProPhoto RGB color space, colors are represented through Red (R), Green (G), and Blue (B) channels without gamma correction.
Linear ProPhoto RGB is primarily used in image processing tasks that require linear calculations, such as image compositing and high dynamic range imaging.
Due to its provision of direct linear light values, Linear ProPhoto RGB is particularly suited for advanced image editing tasks that require precise color control and extended dynamic range.
