Lab colorspace, color picker.

Sun Dec 20, 2020 4:16 pm

GIMP Version: 2.10.22
Operating System: Windows
GIMP Experience: Intermediate Level



I can't figure out how to use Lab color on the "change foreground dialog". I want to be able to use the eyedropper to find out the Lab values for my colors. Right now, I can only see RGB, LCh, and HSV.

Thank you.

Hello tomcahalan and welcome to Gimp Chat.
I found this here on Gimp Chat:

Thank you for your reply, but that doesn't really help me. That method is far too inefficient for what I am doing.

Use the colour picker info window.

..and if you need to adjust an image using Lab curves then gmic_gimp_qt plugin using interactive colour curves is excellent.
