CMYK to lms Converter - Color Space Converter

Also known as the CMYK color space.There are 4 channels in total, cyan,commonly referred to as c,range from 0 to 100.magenta,commonly referred to as m,range from 0 to 100.yellow,commonly referred to as y,range from 0 to 100.black,commonly referred to as k,range from 0 to 100.

Source: CMYK is derived from the process of color printing. It's the result of the subtractive process, meaning the colors on the original white paper are achieved by subtracting certain colors from white.

Primary name: CMYK, full name being Cyan Magenta Yellow Key, where 'Key' typically refers to Black.

Usage: CMYK is mainly used for color printing, such as in magazines, brochures, posters, etc. It's also employed in graphic design related to printing.

Additionally, it's important to note that CMYK cannot represent all the colors in the RGB color space, especially those very bright ones. This is called a 'color gamut', and different color spaces have different gamuts. Furthermore, Black (K) is introduced in CMYK because pure CMY color mixing typically cannot produce a true black, but rather a deep brown.

Also known as the lms color space.There are 3 channels in total,long,range from 0 to 100.medium,range from 0 to 100.short,range from 0 to 100.

The LMS color space is based on the response of the human eye's cone cells to color, consisting of the responses from three different types of cone cells which are most responsive to long, medium, and short wavelengths of light respectively.

LMS stands for Long, Medium, and Short wavelengths.

The LMS color space typically uses three coordinates to express colors, corresponding directly to the responses of the cone cells. This space is often used to calculate transformations to other color spaces that are perceptually closer to human vision, such as from RGB.

The LMS color space is primarily used in the fields of biology and vision science, particularly for simulating and understanding human visual perception.

Since LMS is based on physiological characteristics, it is not commonly used for practical applications such as image processing or color printing but serves as a research and theoretical model.
