I'm being told to convert to LAB to carry out some colour adjustments,
can anyone tell me if this is the way to go. I work in Adobe RGB so why
should I convert to LAB. What advantages are there to working in LAB,
if any.
For b/w conversion I use RBG to LAB, turn off L and A channels, then convert to grayscale. For me this method gives the best digi RGB to grayscale conversion. I think this looks most like b/w film and not just desaturated colour. Haven't used LAB for colour work though I think some people use it in sharpening, to minimise noise.
