FAQs

Consider a data consumer who does not use the colour model that the data provider used. How can the data consumer get the colour values in the consumer's colour model?

If the consumer's colour model is one of the SEDRIS defined colour models (RGB, CMY, or HSV), the SEDRIS Level 0 API, if directed to do so, will change all <Primitive Colour> instances into whichever directly supported colour model the data consumer wishes to specify.

If the data consumer's colour model is not directly supported, the consumer should retrieve the data in an appropriate colour model for use with one of the utility functions provided in the DRM API.

Where can users find more information on colour in SEDRIS?

See Part 4, Volume 8 Images and Colour Models Technical Guide of the SEDRIS Documentation Set for further information.
