==================================
16bit840x840images test image bank
==================================
Version 1.9999 (2012.06.08)
16bit840x840images is a small digital test image bank.
General "flavour" of the images: 16-bit sRGB v2 Perceptual
uncompressed TIFF low noise natural images with a significant area in
sharp focus and low sharpening artifacts, resulting from careful
downsampling to 840x840 of DSLR photographs and of one archival
quality scan.
The test images are:
apartments.tif
baby.tif
boy.tif
cabins.tif
cat.tif
curios.tif
dragon.tif
footbridge.tif
frog.tif
garland.tif
horse.tif
man.tif
paint.tif
shed.tif
tower.tif
wave.tif
wreck.tif
(Note that the curios image distributed with versions < 1.9 of the
test image bank, and the apartments image distributed with versions <
1.99, were different.)
Inspect the images. Don't use them blindly. The authors make no claim
regarding the suitability of the test images for any purpose.
Test images are in the images folder. JPEG thumbnails are in the
thumbnails folder. The top level contains this README file and .txt
files that detail the licensing and preparation details of the test
images.
All images are 840x840 16-bit sRGB (v2) uncompressed TIFF images
produced with Perceptual rendering intent.
840 was chosen as width and height because it is the least common
multiple (lcm) of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. Consequently, all images can
be exactly box downsampled by these ratios, and enlarging back the
reduced versions with the "align corners" image geometry convention
using these integer ratios produces images with the original 840x840
dimensions.
An sRGB v2 profile, sRGB_IEC61966-2-1_black_scaled.icc, was chosen
because sRGB v2 is the most commonly used profile family. This black
scaled profile, tuned for Perceptual rendering, can be downloaded from
http://www.color.org/srgbprofiles.xalter. This profile is
representative of recent vintage profiles used by many image
processing software utilities.
Perceptual rendering intent was chosen because it generally clamps
less than alternatives; it is also the most commonly used.
Uncompressed TIFF was chosen so that performing lots of operations on
these images does not incur much decompression overhead.
Except for boy.tif and wave.tif, the images were obtained by
converting DSLR raw using Photivo, RawTherapee, Adobe Photoshop
Lightroom, DxO+Photoshop, RawShooter Essentials or dcraw with mostly
"light touch" settings, finishing off by downsampling with "exact" 2x2
or 3x3 box filtering through the XYZ colourspace or with carefully
aligned Jinc-windowed Jinc 2-lobe EWA (Elliptical Weighted Averaging)
through linear RGB with sRGB primaries, saving with Perceptual
rendering intent with the sRGB_IEC61966-2-1_black_scaled.icc profile
or with the RGB to sRGB direct converter built into ImageMagick. The
boy.tif image was downsampled with "exact" 4x4 box filtering through
the XYZ colourspace straight from the out of camera fine quality 8-bit
JPEG (using the in-camera Nikon software). The wave.tif image, an
archival colour scan, was downsampled with "exact" 5x5 box filtering
through the XYZ colourspace. Processing details are found in the .txt
files (baby.txt for baby.tif etc). Note that processing details may
not be perfectly accurate, and that the various toolchains are not
flawless w.r.t. colour fidelity.
