1999.07.19 12:53 "White point in CIELab TIFF files", by Martin Bailey

The TIFF 6 spec is more than a little vague about what white point should be used for L*a*b* images, and there's no specified tag to put that data into the file.

Is there any defacto 'standard' white point used in real-world files, or do people just assume D65?

Regards

Martin Bailey
