Dealing with yellow color shift

Hello,
This is a very interesting post that sums up the problem of color perception.
This photo is out of gamut, here are a few screenshots.

  1. gamut checking sRGB

  2. gamut checking adobe RGB

  3. gamut checking Rec2020

  4. gamut checking Rec2020 + filmic

  5. gamut checking sRGB + filmic
    the gamut control is not effective, I think it uses a colour space that is too wide for a jpg (ProPhoto RGB?)

  6. gamut checking sRGB & Sigmoid preset smooth – Rec2020
    Idem vs filmic

  7. gamut checking sRGB & Sigmoid preset smooth – sRGB
    slightly out of gamut in dark tones.

Which disappears by setting the “target black” to 0.0552%.

  1. if we don’t want the colours rotation (Bezold-Brücke phenomenon), we can leave it at 0.

And here’s my proposal, 0 to 22 = my basic workflow ( preset which is automatically applied when a raw is loaded.

Conclusion: I’m a fan of the Sigmoid module, its only fault is the loss of detail in high and low light, which I correct with a D&S preset to add texture, and a local contrast preset.

Greetings,
Christian
