The Hitchhiker's Guide to Digital ColourThis is the full HG2DC Questions listing!
Back at Question #6 we discussed the idea of an “encoding transfer characteristic”. That mouthful of marbles is worth drilling into more closely. This do-over of posts is hopefully going to finesse some details of the rough sketch presented in that earlier post. The painstaking work a restoration craftworker goes through restoring work to it’s […]
The parallel funny walk stepping into what some folks might consider an “esoteric” accumulation of concepts around pictorial depictions is now interrupted by a brief return to our standard programming; the nuts and bolts of this ridiculous romp along physical grounds. As we iterate back over our history, we can flesh out more specifically what […]
Onward to Colour With the previous Question #34, we began a discussion of “Seeing X in Y”. Given that we have at least a fundamental grasp of the idea that a pictorial depiction is not an “innate” experience, but rather a cognitively mediated construct, what can be said about the construct of “colour” specifically? Let’s […]
Dear reader… your burdened author has several posts sitting in the drafts box. The author has wanted to tackle some of the more interesting things around photographic “exposure”, or more specifically pictorial “exposure” for a good deal of time. Sadly, because the author’s maligned and misinformed worldview is so utterly deformed and distorted away from […]
With the past several posts, the astute mind will have already arrived at the answer to the headline question here, so in an effort to add some value to the short answer of “There is no colour in the discrete scalar samples of stimuli”, let’s try to explore the surface of the problem with a […]
As we look back to the past two questions, it is hopefully more evident that no simple path as forwarded by “stimulus-as-colour” can aid in charting us successfully through the perils of the colour iceberg laden waters. The worst part is that the USS Colourimetry vessel is chocker full of flesh eating obsessed Colourimetric Stimulus […]
There’s a lurking question sitting atop the pile of these posts, which hopefully has been emerging up and out of the swamp. The shambling shibboleth ultimately is one that we are going to need to tackle in order to revisit some of the previously answered questions in a much more valid manner. I know that […]
Hello. I just wanted to let you know that the dimwitted author set their password to “password”. This left a glaring security hole in their website. I’ve just read over all of this nonsense, and I’d like to tell you all that you’ve wasted your time. The author is a complete idiot. See, they’ve led […]
Following on from Question #28’s Rashomon inspired retelling, we are going to look again at what Question #2 brought to the table, and pick it apart. Question #2 asked: Question #2: What does 0.6 represent in a typical DCC context? – Idiot Author The answer to Question #2: Answer #2: In an RGB DCC application, 0.6 is a ratio […]
Rashomon was a film that offered a unique multiple recounting of a horrible incident. Why am I bringing it up here? It seems fitting. In order for us to fully appreciate the depths to which we have plunged, it is critically important for us to pay close attention to the two most recent posts. In […]
