IMPACT OF RENDERING WITH PERCEPTUAL INTENTS ON COLORIMETRIC VALUES AND IMPRESSION OF PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHS

Professional shooting with digital photographic camera includes shooting in wide Adobe RGB color space. However, the output units in the field of digital photography usually see colors in the narrower sRGB color space. Because of this, the basic processing of digital photographs involves mapping photographs from Adobe RGB color space to sRGB color space with so called rendering, and in photography, in principle, the rendering with perceptual intents is used. Portrait is one of the most demanding photographic motifs. In this paper the impact of rendering with perceptual intents is analyzed on the portraits taken with the appropriate white balance. Results of tests show that with the rendering all colors in a portrait change, but that there had been no essential changes in impression of portraits and that this rendering may be considered appropriate in the field of digital portrait photographs shot with appropriate white balance.
