Dear photographers, as many of you i use for the scanned output an excellent color space Ekta Space PS 5 by Joseph Holmes. This space fine represent a color gamut of scanned transparencies.
But with gamma 2.2 these images lacks details in shadows, and often have a steps in the tonal gradients. Joseph on his site offer a paid modified version of his space, called Chrome Space 100, with the same primaries and gamut, but modified tone curve, as he wrote, - "very carefully designed to match the tonality of perceptually linear printers". Here i do not have enough skills to design such a complicated curve, but i decided to simply replace the curve in the Ekta PS5 profile with the perceptually linear L* tonal curve. This takes desired effect with more smooth tonal gradients but more bright blacks. Here i want to ask dear photographers to test this colorspace especially against paid Chrome Space 100.
