Linear ProPhoto RGB to YCgCo Converter - Color Space Converter

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.

YCgCo color space introduction

Also known as the YCgCo color space.There are 3 channels in total,Y,range from 0 to 1.Cg,range from -0.5 to 0.5.Co,range from -0.5 to 0.5.
Origin: The YCgCo color space was designed for digital video processing to provide a simple and reversible color transformation method, serving as an approximation of the YCbCr color space.
Primary Names: YCgCo color space, where 'Y' represents the luminance component, 'Cg' stands for the green difference component, and 'Co' represents the red-blue difference component.
Typically expressed as a triplet, for example: YCgCo(0.5, -0.25, 0.25) represents a color with specific luminance and chromatic differences.
Usage Scope: Mainly used in image coding and digital video processing, for example, it is applied in encoding standards such as JPEG XR and H.264/MPEG-4 AVC.
Additionally, due to the simple conversion process of YCgCo, it supports efficient hardware implementation and can be losslessly transformed back to the RGB format.
