1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,560
how do we know when callers are real
this graphic is in sRGB which is what
2
00:00:06,560 --> 00:00:13,670
I'm using for this session where the
cursor is it reads to 5500 this is a
3
00:00:13,670 --> 00:00:19,150
real color it's the greatest breadth at
this RGB can possibly producing it's
4
00:00:19,150 --> 00:00:23,080
pretty close to being ready spread the
disease monitor can reproduce on the
5
00:00:23,080 --> 00:00:26,660
right side of the Info palette you'll
notice that there's some CMYK
6
00:00:26,660 --> 00:00:32,419
equivalents $0.99 100 0 I should
actually say those little bit more
7
00:00:32,419 --> 00:00:35,399
strongly because you see the H one of
those has an exclamation point after
8
00:00:35,399 --> 00:00:45,710
your 10 make what those explanation
points mean is that the caller is not
9
00:00:45,710 --> 00:00:53,100
credible in CMYK it's telling us that's
what we're gonna get really match what
10
00:00:53,100 --> 00:00:57,500
we've got on the screen because that
color is out of gamete let's just see
11
00:00:57,500 --> 00:01:04,519
what happens if we put it in CMYK color
no longer matches what we had originally
12
00:01:04,519 --> 00:01:10,400
because that's impossible and further we
have sort of a strange artifact shown up
13
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,750
in the middle of the screen where the
center seems to be getting a little bit
14
00:01:13,750 --> 00:01:22,930
darker ok back to RGB now what's changed
the right side of the info power to read
15
00:01:22,930 --> 00:01:27,270
la be equivalents were having in CMYK
equals I recommend you have your info
16
00:01:27,270 --> 00:01:29,729
palate this way most of the time
17
00:01:29,729 --> 00:01:36,650
ok so now this same color measures 54 L
81 a and seventy be that's not even
18
00:01:36,650 --> 00:01:40,759
close to being as red as leb can produce
because the reddest read that it could
19
00:01:40,759 --> 00:01:46,630
do is one hundred and twenty-seven in
the a channel and 127 in the beach so
20
00:01:46,630 --> 00:01:53,460
that's almost twice as red as this and
yet it can't be reproduced in LGB
21
00:01:53,460 --> 00:01:59,759
because this is the reddest read that
can make better red than this actually
22
00:01:59,759 --> 00:02:03,740
exist in real life will certainly they
do when we are painted with them all the
23
00:02:03,740 --> 00:02:06,190
time and laser beams are certainly
24
00:02:06,190 --> 00:02:12,660
than the screen can display we can
theoretically she's such Reds in LA be
25
00:02:12,660 --> 00:02:18,560
by simply jacking up the a in the beach
and we can get them both up 227 it's a
26
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:23,690
limited practical matter because we
can't print them what we have here is as
27
00:02:23,690 --> 00:02:29,170
red as we can go even on the best inkjet
printer currently available but what
28
00:02:29,170 --> 00:02:37,540
happens if we try if we're going to leb
and call up he unveiled Layers palette
29
00:02:37,540 --> 00:02:46,730
adjustment curves later on there and get
with our normal sort steepening abie
30
00:02:46,730 --> 00:02:59,240
curves and what we get here be radically
a red red actually not really in the
31
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,780
center where the cursor is the color
scarcely changed at all
32
00:03:02,780 --> 00:03:06,480
it can't get any better at least the
monitor can't display it but if you look
33
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:14,780
at the Info palette it's theoretically
becoming a rather read in reality the
34
00:03:14,780 --> 00:03:20,060
only thing that's changing apparently is
the stuff out here which becomes a red
35
00:03:20,060 --> 00:03:24,730
that we can reproduce on the monitor and
so that's changing what the apparently
36
00:03:24,730 --> 00:03:28,600
we're losing detail as a result it's
interesting to see what happens if we
37
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:36,060
now changed the the right side of the
Info palette to RGB so this is after
38
00:03:36,060 --> 00:03:42,550
this is before and you see the RGB
numbers don't change they can to 5500 is
39
00:03:42,550 --> 00:03:50,820
the brightest red we can make it reality
does read that were asking for here in
40
00:03:50,820 --> 00:03:52,880
leb actually exist
41
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,269
well that depends on whether you're more
interested in what we're theoretically
42
00:03:56,269 --> 00:04:01,910
asking for or what we will in real life
get if we try to use this file because
43
00:04:01,910 --> 00:04:07,190
what we're asking for in principle is
something like this but little bit rarer
44
00:04:07,190 --> 00:04:11,519
we lose a lot of detail in real life
because this is what we're going to be
45
00:04:11,519 --> 00:04:17,660
getting if we go into RGB this makes it
a very dangerous situation for us
46
00:04:17,660 --> 00:04:22,800
originally we had an RGB file that was
outside of the CMYK gamut if we were
47
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:27,040
thinking about taking that into CMYK we
had a nice big morning in this in the
48
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:31,420
info power telling us that was out of
the CMYK game furthermore when we
49
00:04:31,420 --> 00:04:37,270
converted easily see what the damage was
now the situation is we haven't led file
50
00:04:37,270 --> 00:04:42,270
that's outside of the RGB gammon leon no
warning in the Info palette and if we
51
00:04:42,270 --> 00:04:47,050
convert RGB it'll pretty much look the
same way that it does right now on the
52
00:04:47,050 --> 00:04:54,330
screen now what happens we try to
restore with a curve in the channel some
53
00:04:54,330 --> 00:05:06,590
of the details that's apparently being
lost in the background maybe like that
54
00:05:06,590 --> 00:05:12,470
well that's pretty strange that's that's
a very dark I'll tell you but yet it's
55
00:05:12,470 --> 00:05:19,770
not showing up as a black so there's
there's any help that's as black as can
56
00:05:19,770 --> 00:05:21,460
possibly be
57
00:05:21,460 --> 00:05:27,500
I guess this might be reasonable way to
convert the file be a lot better than it
58
00:05:27,500 --> 00:05:32,490
was originally while the original look
like that well maybe this would work
59
00:05:32,490 --> 00:05:36,980
maybe not who knows but now we can
actually start to talk about what's real
60
00:05:36,980 --> 00:05:42,900
and what's artificial is this caller
real I don't know possibly I don't think
61
00:05:42,900 --> 00:05:46,970
so it's probably probably the color of
its being asked for is better than laser
62
00:05:46,970 --> 00:05:52,530
beam so it doesn't really matter we
can't print it out here this is
63
00:05:52,530 --> 00:05:56,810
definitely not real color this is
absolutely an imaginary color because
64
00:05:56,810 --> 00:06:03,670
what's being called for is a value of 0
that's as dark as it can possibly be and
65
00:06:03,670 --> 00:06:09,980
an a value of ADB of 64 so that's
brilliantly read so we're asking for a
66
00:06:09,980 --> 00:06:14,950
brilliantly red pure black and I put it
to you there ain't no such animal but
67
00:06:14,950 --> 00:06:19,690
yet when we asked for Photoshop has to
do something let me try to make this
68
00:06:19,690 --> 00:06:24,690
little clear I'm gonna ditch discouraged
them and I just meant later go over here
69
00:06:24,690 --> 00:06:30,790
to the color picker set a new background
color of let's say
70
00:06:30,790 --> 00:06:38,070
100 extremely dark over here and delete
this the black come back and set a
71
00:06:38,070 --> 00:06:46,220
foreground color to this same one but
one of the old channel below 100 in each
72
00:06:46,220 --> 00:06:52,710
of the A&B so this is the imaginary
color almost pure black but
73
00:06:52,710 --> 00:06:58,360
simultaneously the most brilliantly
imaginable read the whole hit the X key
74
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:03,960
so that we can make that the background
color make a smaller selection in here
75
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:13,230
and delete that so that now we have on
the outside box the real color pure
76
00:07:13,230 --> 00:07:18,580
black on the inside the imaginary color
the color that brilliantly read but also
77
00:07:18,580 --> 00:07:24,800
pure black what happens if we convert to
grayscale
78
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:30,350
maybe we get this doesn't look like it
matches that but yet it must because the
79
00:07:30,350 --> 00:07:35,430
leb files calling for the same darkness
throughout its being displayed is
80
00:07:35,430 --> 00:07:41,920
something very different of course what
happens if we go to RGB well this
81
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:47,220
imaginary color theoretically exists in
leb but it certainly doesn't exist in
82
00:07:47,220 --> 00:07:55,340
RGB so photoshop has to ask itself what
is this fool looking for here when he's
83
00:07:55,340 --> 00:07:59,560
asking for a pure black that's also
bring lee read and Photoshop scratches
84
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:07,070
his head and essentially splits the
difference we got RGB and now it doesn't
85
00:08:07,070 --> 00:08:11,580
appear that there's been a change of
course there's been enormous one switch
86
00:08:11,580 --> 00:08:20,350
back to leb in this part of the Info
palette that's in leb that's an RGB
87
00:08:20,350 --> 00:08:25,190
notice how the leb values changed
enormously on the right side of the Info
88
00:08:25,190 --> 00:08:34,700
palette from 1 100 102 1941 26 and yet
the appearance on the screen changed
89
00:08:34,700 --> 00:08:38,979
almost not at all and if we convert this
one to grayscale you know that it's an
90
00:08:38,979 --> 00:08:41,360
RGB
91
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:46,649
would certainly not pure black or
anything like it because the imaginary
92
00:08:46,649 --> 00:08:51,630
color got converted into real color and
at this point we can stop discussing
93
00:08:51,630 --> 00:08:56,310
this theory and start going into
real-world images
