Perhaps not - but fun! Some introduction to LAB can be found in Dan Margulis' podcasts at Peachpit. I admit that there are some of them I have watched a dozen times without understanding what it is about, but in general it is fairly straightforward.

You're joking?

Dan Margulis posted the ColorSync Users List that ICC colour management was non-sense. Bruce Fraser tried to have a discussion with him. Andrew Rodney tried to have a discussion with him. Somewhere in the archives is a post from Dan accusing me of intending to fly into the US with a planeload of European colour consultants armed with Swiss spectrophotometers.

As if that wasn't enough, Dan Margulis took his self-promotion to Seybold where he published that the idea of embedding the ToCIE or source transform into image data was idiotic. Prof Anthony Johnson, then Technical Secretary to the International Color Consortium, published a rejoinder. First, Dan Margulis is a reprosaurus. Second, his lines about in CIEL a*b (whose use in colour correction he claims to have introduced) is showmanship. LinoColor introduced these concepts.

/hh

Magnus,

I wouldn't say fun. I do use it for sharpening, just that in my heart of hearts it is mechanical, not something I can navigate with my senses.

Henrik,

I do agree with you re Dan Margulis. He is one of those "gurus" who impresses you whilst he is talking. Afterwards you are left asking +"Did he actually say anything useful"+.

He is the P.T. Barnum of PhotoShop color correction and magically turns his expertise into book after book that leaves you just as unsatisfied as the last one.

The Apple advice is clearly: use these Unicode characters as it's what is offered in the default substitution array.

Where is the "default substitution array"?

Right on Magnus,

It is just not a very human friendly color space. 🙂
