FarbraumKonversionAliasEffekten

FarbraumKonverter, often written Farbraum-Konverter, is a term in color science and digital imaging referring to a tool or component that converts numeric color values from one color space to another. In practice, a FarbraumKonverter may be implemented as software in image editors, color-management modules, or as dedicated hardware in cameras, displays, or printers.

The conversion relies on a color-management pipeline that uses device ICC profiles, linearization, gamma correction, and chromatic-adaptation transforms to map colors between spaces with differing primaries, white points, and transfer characteristics. Key color spaces involved include device-dependent spaces such as sRGB, Display P3, Adobe RGB and CMYK, as well as device-independent spaces such as CIE XYZ, CIE L*a*b*, and CIE L*u*v*. Typical operations include encoding/decoding (transfer functions), chromatic adaptation (to adjust for white-point differences), and gamut mapping when a color lies outside the target space. Inaccuracies can arise from perceptual nonlinearity, device limitations, or profile mismatches.

Applications span photography, video production, printing, and display calibration, where accurate color reproduction across devices is required. The term is commonly encountered in discussions of ICC profiles, color management systems, and workflows that require consistent color appearance from capture to output.
