Colour Reproduction in Electronic Imaging Systems – Photography, Television, Cinematography

The transition from film to electronic production in cinema necessitates precise color definition, measurement, and reproduction to maximize the benefits of this technology across all media.The adoption of electronic-based production in cinema has led to a need for accurate definition, measurement, and reproduction of colour. This book provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of colour perception, description, measurement, generation, and reproduction in colour systems. It serves as both a tutorial and reference book, defining color and explaining the proper derivation of chromaticity charts. Key features include addressing theory and misconceptions in colour science and reproduction, examining CIE chromaticity charts, discussing system primaries, color gamuts, and camera spectral sensitivities, and reviewing future developments in colour reproduction, such as Ultra-High Definition Television and laser projectors. The book also includes a companion website with a workbook, JPEG files, and guides to both the workbook and JPEG files.
