Here's a simple situation where numbers matter: Suppose I'm a designer. My client wants a new logo. They give me a list of colors that match their branding. How am I supposed to use these colors to make a logo without entering numbers? Or suppose I need to create signage that contains, b

A long while back the topic came up on IRC about how to deal with histograms when an image has been converted from a wider gamut color space to unbounded mode sRGB. I tried to come up with a possible solution and failed. I do have some sample data. You can download a test image from here: http
