Color Transformation Language interpreter

The Color Transformation Language

The Color Transformation Language, or CTL, is a programming language for digital color management.

Digital color management requires translating digital images between different representations or color spaces. For example, the pixels in an image may encode the colors that should be seen when the image is displayed on a video monitor. Printing this image on paper, or recording it on motion picture film requires transforming the pixels to an appropriate representation Video, inks on paper and film all have different color gamuts and dynamic ranges. Color mixing is additive for video, but subtractive for inks and film. Video and film typically use three color channels, while four or more inks are used for printing on paper. A color management system must transform each pixel in the original image to corresponding amounts of ink or film density values.
