REC.2100-PQ to LAB(cielab) Converter - Color Space Converter

REC.2100-PQ color space introduction

Also known as the REC.2100-PQ 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.
Rec. 2100 PQ (Perceptual Quantizer) is one of the HDR standards developed under ITU-R BT.2100, designed to accurately represent a wide range of brightness levels from deep blacks to intense highlights, far exceeding what standard dynamic range (SDR) can offer.
Rec. 2100 PQ color space.
In the Rec. 2100 PQ color space, colors are represented through Red (R), Green (G), and Blue (B) channels, designed based on the human visual system to ensure that each increment in brightness is perceived uniformly.
Rec. 2100 PQ is primarily used in HDR video production and playback that require a wide range of brightness representation.
Rec. 2100 PQ is widely used in professional video production and high-end television playback due to its precision in representing HDR content and uniform perceptual brightness increments.

LAB(cielab) color space introduction

Also known as the LAB(cielab) color space.There are 3 channels in total,lightness,range from 0 to 100.a,range from -100 to 100.b,range from -100 to 100.
Defined by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) in 1976, as an improvement and extension of the CIE XYZ color space, designed to be a closer approximation to human visual non-linearity.
Commonly known as CIELAB color space, abbreviated as L*a*b* or Lab.
Lab colors are typically represented by three coordinates: L* for lightness, a* for green to red chromaticity, and b* for blue to yellow chromaticity. They can be algorithmically converted to other color spaces for display or printing on different devices.
The Lab color space is extensively used in color measurement and management, particularly important in fields requiring precise color matching and assessment such as digital printing, photography, image analysis, and industrial color testing.
The advantage of the Lab color space lies in its device independence, allowing for consistent and accurate color conversion across different devices and software.
