Re: How do you convert an image into LAB Mode?
You can do this by using "Layer/Convert Layer Type". This is the central function for all types of conversion.lutz hat geschrieben:How do you convert an image into LAB Mode in PL32?

LAB image editing
Editing in LAB colorspace has supposedly lots of advantages for sharpening, since it provides the only way to separate the luminosity information from the color information. Apparently the separtion is not complete in the standard HSV space. However LAB allows also unique ways for editing colors and creating selections. It has been promoted a lot by photoshop guru Dan Margulis. If you have a look at Amazon at the discussions about his book : "Photoshop LAB Color : The Canyon Conundrum and Other Adventures in the Most Powerful Colorspace" you will get some ideas.
I have not tried it myself but would like to give it a whirl in Photoline.
