Color-Space CAD Project Page

Short Introduction:

We propose a new paradigm for interactive image processing, which represents and manipulates the range of colors in an image region as a convex 3D object in the color-space domain. For this purpose, we define a transformation that converts the color-gamut of an image region into a possibly entirely different target gamut, and a toolset that enables the user to interactively “sculpt” the image’s color-space. These capabilities are made accessible in Color-Space CAD, a Adobe PhotoshopCS plug-in, which provides a 3D design interface where users manipulate the color-space by directly operating on the color gamut of an image region with a set of CAD-like operators. Finally, with interactivity being key for any creative artistic process to take place, we make ample use of graphics hardware to accelerate all of the computeintensive mapping operations.

Notes:

Many thanks for your encouraging comments and inspiring suggestions during SIGGRAPH '06. I will soon be finalizing an improved, more useful version right after my defense in September. A cleaned-up, downloadable Photoshop plug-in binary should also be on its way very soon.
