värvikonversiooniks

Värvikonversiooniks is an Estonian term that translates to "color conversion" in English. It refers to the process of changing a digital image or video from one color model or space to another. This is a fundamental operation in digital image processing and computer graphics, essential for tasks such as displaying images on different devices, editing images, and preparing them for various media.

Common color conversions involve changing between additive color models like RGB (Red, Green, Blue), used for displays and digital screens, and subtractive color models like CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black), used for printing. Another frequent conversion is between different RGB color spaces, such as sRGB, Adobe RGB, and ProPhoto RGB, which vary in their gamut or the range of colors they can represent.

The necessity for color conversion arises because different devices and applications interpret and reproduce colors differently. For instance, a color displayed on a monitor calibrated for sRGB might appear different on a professional printing press that uses a wider CMYK gamut. Software applications like Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, and various image editing tools provide functionalities for performing these conversions. Understanding color conversion is crucial for maintaining color accuracy and consistency across different stages of a digital workflow.
