Fundamentals of Light, and the Photoshop L*a*b Color Space
Way back in 2005, rutt posted the best summation of how colors work as light I’ve ever seen, at DigitalGrin.com. Rather than force you over there to read that post, I am replicating it right here, as it required a few edits for clarity. “In order to understand the relationship of LAB, RGB, and CMYK,…

“I don’t want to learn Photoshop!” optikVerve’s free offerings
