Scene-referred images from different capture sources can be encoded in the same scene-referred color encoding, facilitating compositing and the bulk application of color rendering. While the greatest flexibility for subsequent processing comes from exchanging camera raw files, there are workflows where the exchange of scene-referred images is desirable. Camera raw and scene-referred workflows are fundamentally different from output-referred workflows, such as those based on sRGB or Adobe RGB (1998) image exchange. Such images can subsequently be color rendered to different reproduction media, optimizing the image for each. The emergence of a wider variety of reproduction media, and the penetration of digital workflows into virtually all aspects of imaging have led to increased interest in the exchange of camera raw and scene-referred images.

In a picture, the colors are typically altered to make them more pleasing to viewers when viewed using some target medium.

Spectral radiances of a view of the natural world as measured from a specified vantage point in space and at a specified timeĪ scene may correspond to an actual view of the natural world or to a computer-generated virtual scene simulating such a view.Ī scene-referred image is an image where the image data is an encoding of the colors of a scene (relative to each other), as opposed to a picture of a scene.
