Post before and after shots and the subtraction.
the random image was one i shot a month ago at a dance performance and it's not for public consumption. one performer in the image was holding a guitar and that is where the visible change was. there was also some minor differences on her clothing.
So find a photo in your vast photographic repertoire that you can share without embarassment and post the results.
You're really in "walk the walk" territory now.nospamAlan Browne
the key is that anyone who claims converting to lab is lossless is mistaken.Alan Brownenospam
Name each process step from start to finish.
open image, duplicate (image/duplicate), convert to lab and back to rgb in the second image (image/mode) then subtract (image/calculations). look at the histogram to see the extent of the changes.
Fine. I did exactly that with 2 other images and posted them.
No visible difference in either case.
So now it's up to you to show us a difference.
Walk the walk nospam.
