The LAB Color Space: by the numbers

In this video, we go over LAB channels and how to read color and brightness by the numbers. Knowing how colors and brightness are translated into numbers in LAB is invaluable in make any kind of enhancements.

Thank you for taking the time to post this, from what I understand is, this is how a color analyzer works.

Chris, I hope you are still monitoring your channel. I am part of a 200+ member photo club in Sun City AZ. The two charts you use to explain the Lab Color space are the best I have ever seen. We will show your video to the club members with interest. Is there any way we can get a good jpg copy of the charts? Also, I am going through your videos on this subject and am blown away with the easy results. Thank you

Fascinating!

Very good tutorial.

Interesting how the a and b channels align very closely to tint and temperature in white balance. Tint, from green to magenta, is the same color range as the a channel. But temperature differs from the b channel only slightly. instead of orange to azure, its turned one color counterclockwise on the color wheel to yellow to blue. I wonder why that is? if Lab uses yellow and blue why doesn't temperature go from yellow to blue instead of orange to azure? Thank you so much by the way! I'm a colorblind artist (deuteranomaly) and all around art nerd this technical stuff is exactly what I'm looking for!

Your video is very good!
If you also have some good viedeos on RGB, BGR and HSV color space, let me know.

I have several Lab color space and I need to compare them to show the color shift but there’s no converter that I can show the color shift what is your suggestion

[@kantamana1]

Why did the color turn red when you crank down the b channel? Shouldnt it be a dark yellow, AKA "muddy green"?

[@manojahir2979]

Tnx...
What is main difference in lightness ,whiteness and brightness??
What I can do for increase lightness of kaoline clay,,,?

[@chrisswift4303]

In a standard HSB framework, you have Hue (color), Saturation (how strong the color is), and Brightness (how much the color goes to dark or light). So "brightness" would be a preferable term to use. "Whiteness" is not a thing; neither is "lightness".

[@ayamostafa5919]

Still what LAB colors are used for?

[@chrisswift4303]

Pick up a book called Photoshop LAB Color to find out the many many ways working in this color space is vastly superior to any other.

[@christivanabenita4673]

Can anyone tell me, what's different about lab and lch colour space?
