Hi Bill,
The CIELAB color space is quite different from normal RGB. Support within
Bio-Formats could be possible, but how would expect it to be handled?
Implicit conversion of color values to RGB (using formulas such as those at
http://www.easyrgb.com/index.php?X=MATH)? My cursory understanding of CIELAB
(gleaned from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lab_color_space) leads me to
believe that such a conversion would redistribute the color values in a
non-invertible way, thus losing precision. Is that still OK? If so, would
you be willing to send us a sample CIELAB TIFF file?
