YCgCo to ProPhoto RGB Converter - Color Space Converter

YCgCo color space introduction

Also known as the YCgCo color space.There are 3 channels in total, Y,range from 0 to 1.Cg,range from -0.5 to 0.5.Co,range from -0.5 to 0.5.
Origin: The YCgCo color space was designed for digital video processing to provide a simple and reversible color transformation method, serving as an approximation of the YCbCr color space.
Primary Names: YCgCo color space, where 'Y' represents the luminance component, 'Cg' stands for the green difference component, and 'Co' represents the red-blue difference component.
Typically expressed as a triplet, for example: YCgCo(0.5, -0.25, 0.25) represents a color with specific luminance and chromatic differences.
Usage Scope: Mainly used in image coding and digital video processing, for example, it is applied in encoding standards such as JPEG XR and H.264/MPEG-4 AVC.
Additionally, due to the simple conversion process of YCgCo, it supports efficient hardware implementation and can be losslessly transformed back to the RGB format.

ProPhoto RGB color space introduction

Also known as the ProPhoto RGB color space.There are 3 channels in total,Red,range from 0 to 1.Green,range from 0 to 1.Blue,range from 0 to 1.
ProPhoto RGB, also known as ROMM RGB (Reference Output Medium Metric), was developed by Kodak. It offers an exceptionally wide gamut, designed for use in professional photography to ensure reproducibility of most colors found in nature.
ProPhoto RGB color space.
In the ProPhoto RGB color space, colors are represented through Red (R), Green (G), and Blue (B) channels, with a gamut much wider than traditional sRGB.
ProPhoto RGB is primarily used in the field of professional photography, particularly suitable for processing images with high dynamic range and wide color gamut.
Due to its vast gamut, ProPhoto RGB is especially suited for high-end image processing and printing tasks that require extreme color fidelity.
