TIFF 6.0 Specification
Final—June 3, 1992
you are selling wedding dresses, but may be a normal key image if you are the
parents of the bride and are more interested in her smile.
Sophisticated color reproduction employs all of these principles, and then applies
them in three dimensions. The mapping of the highlight and shadow becomes
only one small, albeit critical, portion of the total issue of mapping colors that are
too saturated for the output medium. Here again, automatic techniques may be
employed as a first pass, with the user becoming involved in the clip or compress
mapping decision. The HalftoneHints field is still useful in communicating which
portions of the intensity of the image must be retained and which may be clipped.
Again, a sophisticated application may override these settings if later user input is
received.
